Ieyachus, from the outer rim could identify Huttese but he didn't understand it. Slimo, was universal though. "She is, I think, same with the master. I guess the order tolerates me. But I'm no Jedi." Ieyachus wasn't going to argue the finer points. He walked to the side of the friendlier sentients pack beast and rubbed the side of its neck. "Why you need help or something?"
Jul 25, 2022 7:43 pm
The beast responds positively to Ieyachus' touch.

Kealik
The young outrider looks at their friend, then blinks in what could be assumed to "translate" as a nod. He hesitates for a moment.

"Our land is turning against us... Our river is drying. And the water that does flow is poison." The timber of his voice has a "watery" quality.
Frutta
Our villages dreamer says there is something under the earth. Evil spirits... Something in the caverns from where our water flows. Jedi are in touch with the spirit world, are they not?"






The wind rustles the nearby tall grass as they wait on your response. In the distance, a large bird of prey calls.

Ieyachus closes his eyes focusing his senses on the wind, the sky, the very earth itself. He tried to clear his mind of any prejudice attempting to sense the whole of the planet. Immersing his consciousness with the ecosystem trying to locate the river in question. Kneeling when he located it, he touched the surface of the planet. Reading its recent past opening his sixth sense to fully register any sudden changes in the harmony of the planet.

Ura waits for Ieyachus to return from his communion with the force before she sends her mind out. Someone has to keep watch.
Once she lets her feeling wander, she has a firm connection to the ship, but not the planet. She has a feeling that she and this planet are not going to be friends. First the landing zone and now this. Sigh

OOC:
Object Reading is actually a Seasoned power! That means there are at least 4 advances before it'd be able to be used. But lets say you can feel in the Force...
IEYACHUS:..a great disturbance under the earth, vague and undefined. It's pulsing, some unknown distance away.
The locals stare at you both--eager.

Linking his emotions to Ura's Ieyachus reaches out and offers her the same sense he has. "I sense a great disturbance in the force."

Ieyachus held a finger up and made eye contact with both of the patrolling locals as if to say hold for a moment.

Taking his commlink he calls Master Dralles. "Master, I sense a great corruption in the land here. The locals say it is poisoning their river. I feel compelled to investigate this. It feels much like my homeworld which leads me to believe there is much taint from the Darkside. What should we do?"

Already quiet out of sight, riding on the swaying creatures back through a lush river valley, Jedi Master Gardo Dralles taps his comm to reply.

"We are all ships in the current of the Living Force, Ieyachus Kuga. Where does this current take you?"
Jul 26, 2022 6:15 pm
"My senses say it is beneath us. But I cannot be certain. They mention a cave that is the mouth of the river. That would certainly lead us under ground." Ieyachus replied trying to focus on the source of the corruption.

Great! Ura swings down from the roof of the ship. Do you need anything from inside? She asks as she goes inside for her climbing pack.
Once back outside she closes the ship ramp and locks it down. Ready to see those caves
OOC:
I assume that all 3 have a key or code to unlock the ship, just as you lock a car.

For sure!
Frutta
Frutta sees Ura emerge with her gear. "Yes, climb up and we'll take you." He extends an arm to Ura.

Kealik
The other expectantly, likewise waits for Ieyachus.
Jul 27, 2022 7:18 pm
"Let's go."

Ieyachus gets into the saddle with a Nimble step, not so graceful as Ura.

"We are moving to the Caves now Master."
Jul 28, 2022 9:07 am
Ura takes a firm grasp on the saddle of the creature and tries to move with its gate, making it a pleasant ride. Or as pleasant as posible.

The ride from your ship to the nearby village is rather short. Within a galactic hour, the beasts are led to a river that snakes its way through the rocky landscape--a klick upstream and you find yourselves at the foot of a massive wall of stone--gorges, gullies, and waterfalls fill the air with a hollow roar, and the air is slightly damp.

Villagers watch you approach. A particularly tall figure observes your ride past the village.

Kealik
Kealik points the figure out. "That's our Dreamer. She's forbidden anyone from follow the river to its source, so as not to bring back evil spirits."

"But you are not of the village, so we reason the risk is less to us."





The mounts are reigned in at the far end of the settlement, on the river bank. You'd notice that much of the vegetation round the water is wilted and browned.

Frutta
Frutta points further upstream. "Just follow the river and you'll find the caverns."
Jul 28, 2022 4:35 pm
Ura stops Ieyachus before they enter the cavern. Just a moment... She place her hand on his shoulder and focus for a moment and he feels how the force settels and a warm blanket around him.

I'll use 3 power point to give both of them protection

I realised that I had put points in the spellcasting, but that is the wrong skill. I have redistrubuted those skillpoints.

Kneeling once more to the dirt Ieyachus collects a soil sample. He looked around and found similar conditions to his homeworld. Not ready to give In and declare the place tainted by the darkside he instead pushed ahead. Thanking the outriders he moved to to the Dreamer. "Hello, my partner and I are looking into this." Gesturing to the dying landscape he took that The Dreamer would know what he was talking about for granted. "When did all this start?"
Jul 29, 2022 5:19 pm
URA
You'd see that on from the entrance, the cavern runs straight and wide. The river flows down the center of it. Holes in the "roof," high above cast beams of light. The light is dim. The cavern stretches out of sight.

You can feel the toxins in the air, and your force power filter them from your blood as you breath them in.
IEYACHUS
The Dreamer inclines her head to you.

Dreamer
"Jedi. I know of your order."

"The trouble began this last planting season, as the air grew warmer. That is when my dreams began. I was awoken from the first dream by a mighty tremor--as were all in the village woken. After that, the water began to run foul. And many in the village began to have dreams of pain and fear."
Jul 29, 2022 8:54 pm
Ieyachus saw no wisdom in correcting the assumption that he was a jedi. "That is indeed interesting I'll bear that in mind." Ieyachus bowed to The Dreamer and passed into the cave dismissing himself.

"Apparently an earthquake preceded the river turning to poison." He said to Ura as he began to make his way into the cave.

The wide pathway begins to narrow, and soon you find yourselves in walking in the water--the acidity of the water already slightly discoloring your footwear.

Half a Klick walking like this and you come to a massive open space. It's like a cylindrical cave, wide, and very high. The ceiling is lost in darkness, but you can see the walls are jagged and rough. Three separate waterfalls feed the shallow river you stand in, from opening high up the walls. The only way forward is one of these openings.

OOC:
Ah sorry, i was picturing they are above you, these openings! The water is feeding into thw room your inn.

Ieyachus sized up the distance between the top of the leftmost fall and taking a a running start attempted to leap up the fall to the passageways beyond. He balanced his weight onto the balls of his feet and mentally rehearsed the mighty leap required, willing himself to go far higher than his body alone was capable of propelling him.

He hadn't expected to make it so far up the waterfall as he did, and quickly grabbed onto the outcroppings of rock kicking himself into a second jump, harnessing his momentum to carry him further up. Finally scrabbling up the last meter. It wasn't graceful, but proved his physical conditioning was advancing nicely. Mantling to the top of the fall he nodded over to the opposite path. "You coming with or taking your own way?" He called down to Ura a challenge evident in his tone.
