Knights of the Old Republic: The Last of the Sith(Master Kanas' Group)

Caitriona 'Cai' Stormflyer, Jedi Guardian 6, WP/VP: 51/14

Cai smiles and shrugs her shoulder to Wryy'ethh. "Lets go this way first" she says, planning on making a loop of the ship to check out the area. She is looking for higher ground or trees that she might be able to see farther.

"What do you think of Master Kanas? I have only just meet him I know... but just wondering" she asks when they are out of earshot of everyone else.

Not sure what else she can say to make Aerek believe her she closes her ice blue eyes and leans in slightly to give a tender kiss.

Despite all that she'd been hinting at, he was still a little surprised. To have her offer freely what he had hoped to ask for in another year, maybe two, was a bit of shock. Be honest with yourself, Aerek. If she never made a move on her own, you'd've been silent even up to the day she married someone else. Still, he hoped that she didn't catch the surprise as he kissed her back.

"I said that this was going to be complicated, Sky." Aerek said, when they broke the kiss. "But I didn't mean I thought it wasn't worth trying."

With a dismissive smile at Aerek’s concern Skyka replies, “So is life Aerek but nothing has ever felt so right…” Sidling her legs out from under herself and out to her side, making it easier for her to lay down if need be, Skyka grins subtlety, “If your really willing to try then I suggest you instigate the next kiss.”
 

Walking back to the ship, Bud'd allowed her mind to continue to wander.

She had searched Skyka out previously with an aim to offer her aid for her anguish, but as she neared their room, she had suddenly realised that she was far from the right person to do this. Her own sense of loss was staunched by her fear of falling into hatred and the Dark Side. If Master Kanas had not saved her from the clutches of the Hutt...? To not know what had happened to her own family on Ryloth, to ignore rumours and gossip that they had been enslaved and worse. Or not. Master Kanas had told her the force would send her the answers she saught in it's own good time. He had also offered to help her deal with the pain, but she had declined, determined to try to stay opptimistic. But she could offer Skyka no such hope - she already knew the fate of her family, her entire peoples. Who was Bud'd to assume she could offer solace? So the Twi'lek slept and dreamt of her torturous life as a dancer in Grodod the Hutt's palace and her escape therafter.

The newcomers seemed to pose no threat. As Barrick and Master Kanas spoke with them, Bud'd was taking time to feel through the force for unwanted watchers and other aggressive feelings. None in the immediate area come to her. Especially not form these new "Jedi".

As introductions and direction back toward the ship were given, Bud'd couldn't help feeling that from afar, someone watched. No-one close, but someone intent on their doings. Looking to Barrick, she saw him pause slightly as he entered the ship, and knew he had felt the same.
 

*Wryy'ethh shrugs, and considers.* "Raanrrr shyyyrah maaaahrau naaaaaaaaa. Shyryry kk'anna narrrr nnga rooowr." Shyriwook:
"He seems a good man. He was worried to see us, I think, and cautious, so I wonder why he is here."

Ten hours passed. The sun set, and was no beginning to rise again. Master Kanas gathered all of you together only a few minutes earlier, leading you all back into the somewhat small conference room. Well, small now because of the two extra people(especially a much larger Wookie). Though the room is still slanted a bit, the time you've spent on the ship has gotten you at least somewhat accustomed to shifting your weight.

Though there is an old holoprojector in the center of the small, circular table, Master Kanas has spread out an even more ancient scroll. It takes only a couple of moments to realize that it is a map of Rollan...a very ancient map, and Skyka even recognizes some of the writing as an older form of the native language. Scarring the old map are four dark blue marks. One near the center(in the middle of a dull green forest), is circled and labeled in actual handwriting as "Home". A good distance to the northeast, still among the great, planet wide forest, is another circled reading "Temple." Off to the north of "Home", a series of mountains grow out of the forest. Near the base of one is another mark reading "Temple?". The last mark is just south of the first "Temple" and directly west of "Home". It reads "Spaceport".

Master Kanas is holding a small marking device that was probably meant for something completely different. After giving you a moment to look at the map, he says quietly, "Its best to ignore the terrain on the map...the mountains are still there and our ship is definitely in the forest...but we already saw the scorched land with the port. It follows north through the entire planet and the Temple I found is at the edge of it. The other in the mountains I'm not sure of. There was hinting at another temple in the writing I translated, and I studied the ah...statue you found in the nearby village. It also indicated something else in the north. So that's just a guess, really."

He sighed and waved a hand over the map, "Then again, for all we know there's much more than just that. The temple I found is not something to be taken lightly...when I escaped, there were at least fifteen pursuing me. I'd expect there are actually many times that number there, as the temple was larger than most captial ships. They also know that I am here, and probably have upped security.

"I have meditated but recieved no assistance in choosing a path. There is still too much unknown. Obviously, we must remove the taint from Rollan, but we need more information. It would suicide to simply charge into that Temple and confront the Darkness there. From what I found, we know that at least one of the original Sith on the planet survived in hiding. I assume the Temple I found is where that Sith began the corruption of this planet,"
Master Kanas stepped forward, looking down at the map again, "We may be here for a very long time if we are to completely rid this place of the Darkness. However, we should be as swift as we can. The more time we wait, the more time the there is for the taint to spread. I can no longer treat you as children. None of you are children anymore. The choices to be made are beyond any one person. We must all choose the course together...the Force will show us the way, or at least guide us along the path."

((DR and KG: It is being assumed that Master Kanas has explained the situation to you after your exploration of the surrounding area. You didn't find much all that interesting beyond trees and animals that continually stayed out of sight.))
 

"Raarrnn daaahhhr. Warrn hroooor." Possibly even non-Shryiwook speakers would recognize this portion of the Jedi Code. "There is no death. There is the Force."

"Karrrah Nnnnrrannan'yy shaaar. Nooooogo en'kyyy, woooooooor." Shyriwook:
"If there are Sith here it is our duty to destroy them. I would prefer to strike fast against the Herd Leader (indistinct translation), before he can summon his pack."

After Aerek’s gentle touch Skyka had slept harder and far more soundly than she had thought possible but between a lack of sleep from the previous night, the near constant emotional exhaustion, and the pained discomfort that had lead to unknown physical pleasure she was hardly surprised. In fact she hadn’t stirred till an hour or so ago finding herself alone and gentle tucked in her own bed.

As she had listened to Master Kanas she couldn’t help but fill distracted, she had wanted to talk to Aerek but the small ship didn’t lend itself to privacy she felt they needed so she had offered only secretive smiles, but his words of them all being adults now caused more than a slight blush to forum on her pale skin and she wondered just how much her Master knew and was hinting at or if it his choice of words had been a simply coincidence.

Hiding her embarrassment she offered her assistance with the map and asked her questions, “Master Kanas for what its worth I do recognize some of the wording on the map, it’s quite ancient but it is Sentarrii, but I’m afraid that the map shows the land outside of my peoples so my usefulness is limited. Also, Master Kanas, when you where at this temple did the Sith still have Sentarrii slave labor?”

Standing near the tall Wookie, Cai was a human female of average height and athletic build. Her black hair was cut short, and her skin deeply tanned. She worn a brown robe over simple work cloths. Standing silently thinking about what Master Kanas has told her this morning and now during this meeting, cocern written on her face. While she agrees somewhat with what Wryy'ethh had said, she also thinks caution is in order.
 

Master Kanas nods at the wookie's words, obviously understanding them, "A quick strike could be successful, yes...but it could be dangerous, also. I avoided any sections of the temple that were occupied as best as I could. So I don't know how many are there...Sentarii or otherwise. An all outattack without that kind of knowledge on a place that has been the instrument of corruption for the entire planet is probably not the best course until we have more information."
