The large stone tablet is about twice your size, and probably just as thick from the way it sticks out from the carved out wall. The rock at your feet is carved cleanly and perfectly, though off to the right there is a deep, long groove right next to the tablet. Though there are no physical signs of movement, it is easy to feel that a presence was here recently.

((Its in the 51-500kg zone...so it costs 4VP to use. Aalun's skill check is an 11. No good.))
Concentrating, Aalun reaches out with the Force and gets a hold of the large, stone tablet. Feeling it and getting a 'grip' on the object, he pushes it...wills it to move. But nothing happens. Trying again, focusing harder, and still nothing occurs.
After a few more moments, Master Essenu seems to pick up on his actions and speaks quietly, "I am not as strong in the physical aspects of the Force...but if you will let me, I can attempt to assist you, Aalun."

((Another 4 VP...but also 4 from Master Essenu. Through her assistance and direction, Aalun's modifier bumps up to +12. This time, he gets a 28 on the check.))
Once again reaching out for the large tablet, Aalun this time feels the strength of Master Essenu guiding him. Though she does nothing directly, it is enough to bolster his own focus and connection to the Force despite the thick presence of the planet. Slowly and noisily, the large stone tablet rolls to the side.
It reveals a huge, open corridor, intricately carved and perfectly straight. There are patterns across the walls and you notice the the high ceiling slowly gives way to a more pyramid shape. There is no physical sign of activity within it, but as soon as the tablet is moved, you can feel a powerful and thick air flowing out and surrounding you. If ever there was a tangible presence to the Dark Side of the Force, it is likely that it is hidden within this ancient place.

Stepping through the threshold into the large corridor proved to take a strange amount of effort. Though you can feel the lingering presence of something in the distance, the walls themselves radiate with the Force and makes it hard to focus on anything in particular. Your footsteps echo loudly through the ancient and empty corridor as you slowly walk forwards. More than once, you can hear a distant and soft voice circling you.
It doesn't take long to reach a divide. The corridor's angular ceiling comes together with four others in a large, elaborate pyramid. And in the center of the four-way junction is a statue, twice as tall as any of you. It looks like a tall, cloaked humanoid with indistinct facial features. The head is hairless, and its right arm is reaching up to the ceiling with a large, though somewhat crumbling, sword. Each of the other three corridors lead to what could easily be either a dead end or some kind of stone door.
But one thing that catches your eye is on the pedestal that supports the statue. Much of the crumbled stone from sections of the statue is neatly collected there, and next to it is a small datapad.

Reaching out with the force, Aalun tries to sense any immediate danger, then looks to his companions for guidance through the force. When he feels resonably comfortable with the levels of danger, Aalun will step up to the data pad to see what is on it, if anything... and if nothing, he'll try to activate it.

It is harder to focus on anything outside of yourself through the Force, as the oppressive atmosphere of the place feels like its locking you inside yourself. The datapad itself looks to be safe, and upon checking it, Aalun finds that the power system for it is damaged.
Switching it on, the small screen flickers on and off a few times, then finally stays on after giving it a good slap. The screen shows a small map of the sector in one corner, with writing covering the rest of the screen. From what you can tell, it reads like a journal. It tells, in a somewhat confusing fashion, that the writer had traveled from planet to planet in search of the Sith burial grounds in the hopes to find an artifact that would provide insight into the history of both the Jedi and the Sith.
