The Demon moon Dxun is covered in jungle and something about the humid ionization of the planets atmosphere cause comms to falter and fail. Machines and weapons degrade at a rapid pace and thus they must be given constant maintenance. The predators of the planet fight with an almost hateful resolve that some would call anger and even humans become prey of these jungle beast.
At the center of it all lies a temple half buried in millennia of mud and muck, overgrown with vines and trees. The surrounding area is swarmed by jungle beast called to guard the location by some unseen hand and any who dare to approach would find if they wish to gain entrance they would first have to fight off a horde of savage monster's. The tomb would be easy to miss for anyone but for a force user. As soon as they approached they would sense the dark side energy and death radiating from the lair.
The interior of the crypt is large and extensive. More of a maze to those who do not know its' halls. Crystal formations litter the inside of the tomb basking everything around them in a soft glow. In the deepest depths of the tomb sits a blood red crystal throne. The heart of Dxun. It is only accessible through a series of trap doors and secret halls. The way is fraught with perils and those skilled enough to reach its depths will surely never return. Some say this is where hell begins.

I arrived on Dxun with a small group of Jedi knights. This was to be my first mission outside of the temple on Voss. With the decline of the One Sith Jedi had been sent out to the galaxy to once again hunt Terren'teks, ancient alchemical Sith beast. My master was not able to accompany me, but I was in good hands. Five Jedi knights and a Mandalorian guide made up our group. Master Gr'low was among us. He was leading the expedition and I had the utmost faith in him. He was after all one of the top duelist in the academy.
We made are way through the dense jungle at a slow pace. We constantly had to use our lightsabers to clear the brush and I had the distinct feeling we were being watched.
"How much farther Mandalorian?" Master Gr'low groused.
"Don't worry Jedi. I seen your beast headed this way. Look there's a track now!"
The Mandalorian pointed to a large foot print in the mud. It was the size of two mens' torsos. I stared in surprise then looked up from the foot print to follow the path the monster had taken. It was pretty obvious. Trees had been thrown around like toys and giant foot prints indented the earth. The trail seemed to curve at the point where we had exited the jungle. It seemed the beast was circling something. Then I noticed something else wrong. While the group was distracted by the massive trail, someone had disappeared.
"Where's Knight Forst?" I wasn't the only one to notice the man's disappearance. Gr'low shook his head. Forst knew how to handle himself. "He's probably scouting ahead or perhaps went to relive himself. He knows where we're going, he'll catch up," To stay in one spot to long was to attract the attention of the jungle creatures. We continued on our path and soon began to feel a taint in the air.
"We must be getting close," I voiced aloud.
"Use your head Padawan. Did you sense this taint when we discovered the beasts' trail? No, this is something different... Something worse.." Master Gr'low was right, as we sustained our course the taint became almost unbearable. It felt like an oily rock in my stomach. We found a place where the monster's trail had veered of course and as we followed it we found a large hill of earth covered in vines and trees with multiple cavernous entrances. The taint began here. Then I saw Knight Forst. He looked to me and when he was certain I saw him he ran into the mound. There was something off about him, but I couldn't quiet place it.
"Master I saw Forst!"
"Are you sure? It wasn't just the heat?"
"I'm positive. It was him! He just entered that mound!" I pointed to what appeared to be one of the many entrances leading deep into the bowls of the tomb.
"Hmm. Perhaps he has found something. We should check it out," Master Gr'low lead the way to the entrance and we began our descent into the crypt...
