Bud'd shook her head. I disagree. This mission is dangerous enough as it is without us being so blatant in our attempt to get inside. I suggest we find a second entrance from the ground.

Master Kanas listened as he finished his quick shut down sequence by shutting off the running lights of the shuttle. As he looked out the viewport towards the valley ahead, he said, "Take some glowrods if you're going down there, but only use them if you have to. There's probably at least something down there. I doubt they'd waste any space."

Bud'd checks that her gear is firmly clipped and strapped about her and steps up to the exit ramp controls, ready for Master Kanas' signal. I suggest that Aerek and Skyka lead us out of here, followed by Aalun and myself, with Wyrr and Cai bringing in the rear.
*Bud'd is not as strong as most and so only carries 1 glow rod of her own, a breath mask, her blaster and 'saber, 1 spare powerpack and energy cell - all attached to her belt or in boot pockets.*

Master Kanas nodded and, just as you were heading out of the ship, said softly, "May the Force be with you."
Far off to your right you could see the rising path up the mountain that led to the thin bridge. Ahead of you was the darkness of the canyon's floor, and the closer the black-coloured temple came to the ground the harder it was to differentiate between the building at the rockface it was carved against.
As you moved in closer, you found that the ground was not at all even, making it an interesting walk without being able to see one's feet(well, for Skyka and Aerek at least, who's eyes weren't designed for such darkness). In a few short minutes, Master Kanas' small shuttle was barely a speck in the darkness behind you, and the great stone wall that rose straight up was engulfing your view in front. Your eyes had not been lying from the distance. The building actually did become the rockface. About halfway down from the thin bridge entrance above, the smooth surface faded into the mountain's jagged stone wall, though there were signs of carvings and similar things all the way down to the bottom.
And as you approached the large stone incline, you noted more and more boulders and large stones scattered across the ground, ranging from the size of a fist to larger than Aerek. But something was odd about them. Despite the drastic differences in sizes, all the rocks seemed to be lined up to form some sort of path heading straight towards the rock wall.

“Either they are meant to distract us from seeing something,” Skyka said in her typical cool demeanor as she pointed to the boulders, “or guide others to something not so easily seen… Like a secret opening in that wall of rock.”

Though the area is dark, it is quite obviously an artificial path. The rocks, even though there is no real logical reason for the differences in their sizes, not only seem to form a line straight to the wall, but the top of each of them is flattened in a perfectly smooth way. You can't see anything on top, but the smooth surfaces on the tops of the rocks can not at all be natural.
Also, there does seem to be an interesting change in the lighting on the canyon wall ahead of you. Its hard to tell exactly what you see, but the already faint starlight looks to shift in a few places where it shouldn't, even with the jagged wall.
As for sounds, beyond the somewhat soft wind and a few animals that are a good distance away, it is silent.
Sense for Aerek:[sblock] Reaching out, you can feel many faint presences in the Force, but it is hard for you to pinpoint anything or make any sense of it all. It almost seems like the air itself is pressing you down and holding your senses back.[/sblock]
