USH'S GAME EPISODE V- 'MAUSOLEUM'- DARK SIDE AREA

Indeed there is. On closer inspection there IS something at the end of the valley. There is a small box-like door, made out of some sort of black metal.

"Is that it?" says Jolanta. "That's the way in? That cruddy little door?"

"What did you expect?" asks Saar.

"I dunno... something bigger? I've seen more impressive things in mudhut villages!"

"This is a Sith Fortress," says Saar. "Not a country house."

after regaining his force senses, Takuan probes with the force, to see what he feels beyond that door.

No, they are gone, Takuan. They only come back if you leave the Valley.

oh..ok
"well let's go, then.." says takuan not too confident on himself

"Yeah, let's just stroll into the Sith fortress?" says Jolanta. She hammers at the door control. "Locked," she says, "from the inside. Still, easily dealt with..." She ignites her lightsabre, but Saar puts an arm in front of her.

"Jolanta," he says, "this is a SITH fortress, yes? They are likely to have thought of that."

"so how do we get in?"

"What are they going to have done?" says Jolanta, mockingly. "Rendered the door lightsabre proof with their 'Magic Sith Powers'?"

"There are probably explosives woven in with the material," says Kuylen, speaking up from the rear of the group. "Good way to lose an arm, trying to cut through that door."

"Ah!" says Saar. "A plan with no drawbacks. On you go, Jolanta..."

(and i can't even try and force it open..doh)
"it has to have some sort of lock on it..they did open it somehow...
or maybe we can blast it down"

You can still do that kind of thing with the Froce, Takuan. It is your senses that are dulled, not your powers.

"It's an electric lock," says Saar. "I can work on it"

Where's Zink? Wraith can do this kind of thing as well (it is the Fix-it skill, Matrix fans...)

"i might try and...force it open, you know..." says Takuan

"It's extremely heavy," says Saar. "Built to withstand assault from powerful Sith or Jedi after all."

"I'll help you with it, Saar," Wraith says, getting out some of his tools to work on the lock. "Let's see, where to start..." He starts picking at the electrical lock.

Hmmm... this is exceptionally complex, and also dangerous, Wraith. This will take you two a while...

Whilst people are working on that... this may be your last chance to talk things over. You guys have seen and learned a lot. But... where from here? What do you guys plan to DO if things go according to plan? In your companions you have a broad spectrum on the Dark Sider range, Jolanta the young, angry and revenge obsessed. Saar, the intelligent paranoid. Chion, the sheer force of carnage. And Kuylen, the military ex-Jedi.

They are more stereotypes than you guys; maybe Saar and Kuylen less so than the other two. Even so, the point has been for you guys to develop over time. You may not get another chance to think about and talk over what this really all means to you.

So... what do you all think? Aside from anything else, was it all worth ot?

well..yeah..guess so.

"so...what do we exactly do, once we're in there" asks TAkuan to Kuylen

"That's simple," says Kuylen. "We make contact with the spirit of Demnos."

"how?"

"Once we get to Demnos' sarcophogus, that will explain itself," says Kuylen.

"Sounds like something Takuan will have an easy time of doing," Galder says.

Wraith works on the dangerous lock with all the skills he's learned in the art of breaking and entering.

"Saar, what do you plan to do with the power you will get?"

"There is only one thing to do with power and that is to wield it."
