Shadowlands Adventure (Ask)

[Renthous Vacvar]

::Out of hyperspace, a small, cloaked, sith starfighter appeared. The cloaking systems were still running smoothly, even after spending the last 15 hours invisible to all passerbys. It created a beeline for the surface of Kashyyyk. Yes, the actual surface. There was something located in the Shadowlands. Access to powers known to sith millenia before the new generation and lost in the shuffle. Lightsaber stances, force powers, weapons, holocrons; all their for the adventurous soul to find. And Toxis needed all these things to finally become the strongest of all Sith Lords and hold strong in case of another civil war.::

::The ship passed the atmosphere, creating a small mark in the night sky as it continued to speed at hundreds of miles per hour towards the surface. Nearing the treetops, Toxis braked and started a slow decent into a small clearing into the Shadowlands; the clearing made by the very first Dark Lords that led a direct path to the tomb, although the actual burial for the information a five-mile walk.::

::The ship touched down, and Toxis got out silently. He didn't bother to check his ship for tracking devises; after all the time he spent in foreign ports, he was bound to have at least one somewhere on his hull. Dressed entirely in black, the stealthy warrior began his walk, eagerly awaiting company and surprises, his mind set onto the treasures at the end of the night, or beginning of the new day on the Wookie world.::

*In the middle of the path, a small man, a Iktotchi, was mediating. He floated a little more than 5 feet above the ground...quietly. Extremly quiet. He used a powerful force camoflauge, so that he would not be bothered...but a powerfull man would be able to detect it*

[Renthous Vacvar]

::Toxis' long and quick strides reduced to small paces as he sensed the presence near him. He looked around in a circle, but spotted nothing. The rough, dirt road was surrounded by thick trees, and the pitch black night sky did nothing to improve visibility more then twenty feet. The Sith Lord's lightsaber hilts snapped into his hands, but yet he hesitated to ignite them. He looked closely at the spot where he could easily place the presence to. Only then did it hit him. He laughed coldly into the darkness and spoke with malice.::

"Stop being a wimp and get out of the force camoflauge. I know it's what you're using. Very stealthy, actually a good thought. But I am not so easily fooled. Show yourself and be spared..."

[Darius Lenoth/Infared]

*The Iktotchi eyes snapped open and he faded into visiblity...snarling. His eyes darted, taking in his surroundings...and then he saw the man...Lord toxis, a ally to his master.*

"spared?..."

*And at that, he vanished once more, and continued his mediatating...concentrating on hiding from the force*

[Renthous Vacvar]

::The small flash of the man informed him of all he needed to know. The species was Iktotchi, a species the Lord hadn't had much experience with in the past, and the experience he did have ended up in a bloody massacre when a gang tried to dispose of Toxis in the middle of the most crowded bar on Nar Shadaa. He also detected a dark presence on him, and possibly the teachings of Toxis' favorite sith, Lord Invidius.::

"So, specimen, are you the newest apprentice of Lord Invidius I've been hearing so much about? If so, I think me and you can both learn much from this trip. Come out now, I have nothing against you..."

::His words rang out to the creature who had again dissapeared into the force. If the young one did follow, he would learn powers that even he could teach his master, and lightsaber forms to dig him out of the most enemy crowded areas. Actually, Toxis wished Invidius was here to gather the information as well, to soak in the knowledge of the greatness of the Dark Lords of old.::

[Darius Lenoth/Infared]

The Deciple of the Sith lord, abruptly appeared...this time not fading in at all...He was behind Toxis, blaster at hand...no need for a lightsabre.*


"What could I learn...?"

[Renthous Vacvar]

::Toxis turned slowly to face the young sith behind him. He clipped his weapons back on his belt and crossed his arms across his chest. His maroon eyes glowed underneath his hood as he observed the apprentice.::

"The secrets of the first three Dark Lords to ever walk this galaxy. Somewhere on this expanse of useless dirt and standing paper is a tomb filled with ancient secrets; lethal force powers, hidden lightsaber stances, and holocrons and datapads with information that may be vital on beating Adena and Ravinos, and winning this war. I'm sure your master would be impressed when you return with such knowledge. If only he was here with us, now. Are you coming with me?"

[Darius Lenoth/Infared]

"Do not expect me to allow you to live once this is over..."

*The arrogant sith said rudely...He truely felt no fear...for anyone save his master. His lord, Invidius*

[Master Bondora]

The Uprising emerged from hyperspace well inside the Kashyyk system and continued sublight toward the jungle world. Darth Invidius kept the ship cloaked, though he would drop that as he neared his destination. Extended cloaking took too much power. The ship had been provided for him by Lord Infernus only recently and he was still getting used to it. It handled well and easily, however.... The Dark Lord manoeuvred his ship down the planet and softly landed near his disciple's location.

[Renthous Vacvar]

::Toxis smiled at the threat. The young Iktotchi was definitely confident about his skills as a killer and had a large lust for battle. However, Toxis knew he easily overpowered the apprentice and if he had to, would return him to his master with no limbs attached. The Sith Lord pointed a finger towards the darkened path and whispered to the apprentice in an amused tone; the threat's humor still hadn't worn off.::

"This way."

::Toxis began down the path just as a pack of cannabalistic wookies picked up on the two sith in the forest. The sun had just begun to rise, signifying that hunting time had arrived, and hungry wookies would patrol the trees looking for food.::

[Darius Lenoth/Infared]

*Hellions face turned to one of fear and he abruptly turned towards his masters direction, kneeling already. He could feel his angry and rage...knowing taht he had come here to punish him.*

[Renthous Vacvar]

::The sudden disturbance in the force signified that the man of the hour had arrived on the planet; Lord Invidius, master of the arrogant sith that stood beside him. Toxis went to look at him, and instead saw the apprentice kneeling and craling towards where his master was. He was afraid of the Lord, as was Toxis to a small extent. He remained expressionless as he waited for Invidius to arrive upon their location.::

[Master Bondora]

The Dark Side of the Force raged inside him like a thousands sun, sought to blind him with it's dark and vengeful furry but he held it at bay. The Dark Lord's face-- what little was visible of it in the shadows of his hood--was grim and unforgiving. His cowled head moved slightly as he looked at each of the two sith standing in front of him. Then he spoke, his voice a dry rasp , his tone that of one accustomed to instant obedience.

"I have not merely come here to punish the likes of you Hellion..." He said as he looked down at his apprentice.

"Lord Toxis! tell me of your findings..."

[Darius Lenoth/Infared]

*Hellion stayed down, his face agisnt the ground...soft and moist...His master would soon get what he deserved....*

[Renthous Vacvar]

::Toxis grinned as he folded his arms again. He couldn't wait to get out every single detail of the treasures that await them just an hour's walk away.::

"After studying and what I found on that planet we got stuck on with the Mandalorians, I have traced all clues to a secret tomb on this planet, about an hour's walk away depending on how fast you can walk five miles. The tomb holds the artifacts of the earliest Dark Lords; force powers, lightsaber stances, weapons, artifacts and holocrons that hold vital information we can use to finally put an end to Adena and Kit, and take sieze of this galaxy with an iron fist."
