Temple Run

The stone-marked path wove in between the brush and the sheer rock wall with the path clinging more to the wall and finally leaving the brush below on the left. According to the coordinates on Kikli's datapad, the temple was in this vicinity.

The path continued to climb until it curved around rock wall and leveled out. And there, stood the temple. Or at least, what was once a temple.

From what the Imperial lieutenant had said, the temple had been standing when the scientists had last been here not that long ago. But now, what had been a temple lay in ruins. Small buildings stuck up from the rubble here and there, but most of them had walls missing. What had been columns (or poor excuses for columns) were strewn here and there in broken piles of stone.

If this was the temple, it certainly did not serve that function now.

Once across the bridge, Rokarr's pistol instantly reappear in his hands. He'd been in too many surprise gunfights to not be ready. He tried to stay ahead of his party, but their curiosity drove them to risks that Rokarr could barely accept. They act like they're on a field trip. What I wouldn't give for a couple of Niktos to watch my back. As the group descends upon the ruins, Rokarr ranges off to the side, checking for evidence of any native activity. "Looks like we're gonna be here for a while. I doubt would be content with us finding a newly ruined temple. We need to find a way under this mess, and also set up a perimeter to make sure we don't join this mess."

As the sun turns from yellow to red and begins to slowly set, the party picks their way through the rubble.

Kikli, with handscanner in tow, surveys the mess. He notes that the temple is not ruined through age or corrosion. Something happened to the temple that would crush stone. However, there are still intact columns and a few structures partially standing. So whatever the event was, it did not last long enough to destroy everything.

From what Zom could see, the temple appeared to have been wrecked due to an explosion of some sort.

As the sun sets, Rokar finds a relatively intact room at the far edge of the temple ruins. While by no means a Naboo apartment, it is a comfortable enough building to sleep and hide from the irritating bugs and gnats that swarmed around the eyes and ears.
