Tenebrous also made a force barrier strong enough to withstand the explosion of the entire Baldemnic mining cavern
Overhead, hawk-bats took panicked flight from their roosting places in the stippled ceiling. Natural light in the far distance prompted the two Sith to race for the grotto; but, even so, they were a moment late.The gas explosion caught up with them just as they were entering the light-filled cavity at the top of the escarpment. From deep in the tunnel resounded a squealing electronic wail, and at the same time, almost as if the cave system were gasping for breath, a searing wind tore down from a perforation in the grotto’s arched ceiling through which the ship had entered. A muffled but ground-heaving detonation followed; then a roiling fireball that was the labyrinth’s scorching exhalation. Whirling to the tunnel they had just exited and managing somehow to remain on his feet, Tenebrous conjured a Force shield with his waving arms that met the fireball and contained it, thousands of flaming hawk-bats spiraling within the tumult like windblown embers.

Tenebrous and Malgus are two Sith that I consider to be on the tier just below the top five Sith. With Maul and Durron for support, I think they have this.
I also think that Tenebrous and Malgus are the 2 most powerful members of the team here. I don't think they are top 10 though.
Sidious had to face 4 powerful opponents before and he blitzed 3 of them in seconds. Not sure if he'd be able to pull that off against this team especially since Maul is there and he would make sure that the team stays intact against his former master since he knows what the Emperor is capable of.
Sidious mostly leaves the force attacks for the end of the fights unlike some of the ancient sith so he'd probably dive into a duel right away. If he can't take out the weaker members quickly, he would get overwhelmed at some point and get killed. Depends on which direction/method Sidious would choose to follow in the fight but he definitely has a chance. With that said, I'm leaning team for now.

On a different note, what does Tenebrous bring to the table here? I've read the short story, but outside of the Maxi Chlorian shit I can't remember any feats of his.
Uh, besides being one if the last of the Banite lineage? Plagueis struggled to keep up with him speed wise, he fought alongside Plagueis against hundreds of Kursid warriors without using lightsabers or the force, he was heavily implied to be a more consummate lightsaber master than Plagueis, erected a barrier that defended him from a blast that caused cathedral-sized caverns to implode, and casually held up boulders that threatened to crush his ship. I also recall his lightning left residual sparks/energy where it was blasted for hours.
His precog is also through the roof. He predicted his own death as well as the rise of Sidious, and even recognized him through Plagueis's eyes.
So yeah, he's got that and a handful if esoteric shit. not bad for someone who has a total if 15 pages of screen time.
