STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Holocron

"Or just something they didn't want you all to know about," Galder says. "Like the Mausoleum of Demnos. The Council knew, and probably the Chancellor. Nobody else did. The Jedi had to find it by giving chase to us."

-

Standing around will only make you more irritated!

Well, then Rianna will go find the other group and show them what they found.

"Not much, but Sael was definitely here..."

Then Rianna can notice the similarities to the Jedi Temple as well!

"Then we're in the right place," Rand says. "We just need to find what he promised us. And him."

"Why are there ruins here that look like the Temple?" Rianna asks, slightly puzzled. "And yes, though I really don't care if we find him already in pieces."

"Welcome to the conversation that you just missed," Galder says.

"I think there would be some satisfaction in finishing him ourselves," Rand says. "Come, we move on..."

Useld is all jittery with excitement from going deeper into the ruins.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was busy actually finding proof that the idiot was here..." Rianna mutters in response to Galder.

"Heyo!" Galder says. "Someone's in a good mood."

"Move on to where?" Dak asks Rand. "This whole place looks like a dead end..."

"There are more ruins ahead," Useld points out. "I'm willing to bet the natives consider this holy ground, from the way they showed up en masse when I was investigating. We should be careful."

"So very perceptive of you, Galder," Rianna responds, walking off ahead and sensing for any danger.

"Let's go, then."

The six of you move deeper into the ruins. You begin to sense stirrings in the jungle around you, keeping just out of sight.

The ruins so far have been outlying pieces of a greater structure. It can only be an ancient Jedi Temple, long since abandoned by the Order or the Republic or whoever was operating it. It is not as towering and magnificent as the Temple on Coruscant, of course. It is only a few stories high, low enough to be hidden beneath the trees that surround it and grow within and upon it. It is overgrown with all sorts of plantlife, including those living vines.

But it is not wholly abandoned it seems.

Standing on the steps are Nokros-An warriors, armed with those needle guns or with what appear to be ancient training sabers. And they have brought some dog-like creatures on leashes.

"Oh dear..." Useld says.

"Oh, look, a welcoming committee..." Rianna says, pulling out her lightsabers.

About how many are there?

Dak readies his sabers as well. "Just what we were hoping for..."

There are fifty waiting for you, led by five warriors with those training swords, and one with a pair of those things. He gesticulates at you and begins shouting loudly in the Nokros-An tongue.

"What is he saying?" Rand asks Useld. "Any clue?"

"This is your last chance to leave," Useld translates.

"Oh that's just great, " Xavier says.

"Well?" Rand asks you all. "What do you think?"

Galder already has his blaster out.

"What do you think we think?" Rianna says.

"Let's show them why they don't mess with us..." Dak adds.

Rand smirks and ignites his lightsaber.

"Tell them to get out of our way," Rand says, "or they all die."

Useld is hesitant to translate that. The message is pretty clear to the Nokros-An anyway! They are preparing to fight.
