Space Elf Song

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen let out a small chuckle as his golden eyes surveyed the trap before him. It was one of the oldest tricks in the book which meant that there was no way in hell that he would fall to it so easily. Leaping forward,t he zorren danged around the blades, his legs and arms spring him through flips and turns to avoid them while Ace clung to the inside of his coat. No doubt falling out would be a rather nasty experience. As he finally reached the other side, Vulpesen grinned up at Matsu. "Easy. Though, perhaps you should teach me how to do that flying some time."

Matsu looked at him while she came to the other side and set down watching and listening to him while she spoke. "Perhaps I will be able to but it is not an easy skill to learn. You will need skills in several areas of the force and the ability to take a fall." She laughed a little bit at that though and was moving as her forward to the wall that was covered with script and her hands were moving over the door until she opened it. The stone slab revealing another large area with the remains of broken bridges and sections of of platform that were broken away. "We shall see some of the thing here, this mountain is large and those look like the old city ruins on Tython. The stairs are to large for humans but something bigger."

 

[Vulpesen]

With a nod to her words he continued on, his tail flicking behind him. "Lucky me, I' no stranger to the force, or falling." As they finally entered the new area, having easily made it past the hidden doorway. "Well, we did fight mister fuzzy back there. Think that perhaps they managed to get a bit more advanced than we thought?"

Matsu was looking at him. "I think he might have moved in and whatever was there if there was something was gone. The real question is what are they going to have here. We know the old jedi's and sith tombs had traps that could last sometimes tens of thousands of years." She kept moving towards the edge though and crouched down a little to see the different levels of the ruins. "There looks like something is down there, a pile." She couldn't fully make it out but she was seeing but it was colored rags in the dim light from above while she was moving towards it. "I'll search over here, Vulpesen you search left and Sheila you go high see if there is anything we might miss."

THe ruins around there were amazing as she got the orders. Bypassing the blades was an easy thing to do but here she could feel the chill of the grave from the ruins while flying up into the upper reaches. Where the stairs had been destroyed, she didn't really know what she was looking for but there was some script on the walls. She couldn't make it out but more then that she didn't see much else besides stone slabs that were sealed. Caskets and tattered banners above them from centuries past until she moved to another one looking it over. "Looks like just tombs here with cracked lids. They are empty though aside from sabers and rags."

 

[Vulpesen]

He nodded to her words and branched off in his search, signalling Ace to leap from his pocket and use his nose. Following after the Ashlan, Vulpesen sniffed the air around him. It was stale, old, and definitely in disrepair. He couldn't smell any signs of sentient life. No fire, cooked food, clean bodies. It was all gone. "Ace, check the pile." He walked to the wall while his compatriot went to the indicated area and started to look over the walls, seeing if there were any more inscriptions.

Matsu was looking at some of the rags and tattered banners on the ground. She didn't know what was around but she was searching through what was there while she moved to check for alcoves and hidden sections of the flooring or wall. She found a small panel and lifted it revealing some crystals but not much else as she brought them up sliding them into her pack. Matsu was still moving along one of the walkways to see what there was while feeling vulps and Sheila in the way. She moved along one of the walkways as it seemed carved statues were in the distance and slowly Matsu pulled out a line laincher and fired it to create a line to slid across to a lower level. "I found some crystals but not much else yet."

 

[Sheila]

[member="Vulpesen"]

She could hear things and she was moving about, searching and finding few things of interest aside from the broken caskets that were illed with bones. She found a banner from a long long time ago that didn't look like the republic before flying to the last alcove and watching the other roaming around their sections. She could hear sounds coming from the walls it sounded like and there were a number of things that could be used by them but really only as tools. She could see there were more things around the ruin in the distance as they were going towards them. "I can see an intact bridge leading deeper."

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen simply nodded to the others and their findings as he read the cave walls. "Crystals were probably a large attractant. These carvings and patterns indicate the stories and rituals of a force group." His ears perked at [member="Sheila"]'s mention of a bridge. "Well, no treasure worth taking was ever found at the front door." He walked away from the wall and picked up one of the banners to study the symbols. [member="Matsu Ike"] had found the planet. Maybe he would be lucky enough to peg the culture as they went deeper into the caves.

Matsu was looking at the walls and the banners as she spoke. "It looks like some of the old je'daii tombs found on tython. This could make sense in a bizarre way, the world has been hidden away and only species with powerful navigational computers knew it existed. The Gree were on tython with the jedi." She kept moving though and had a grin on her face opening a tomb that came near her as the remains were dust but the lightsaber was a thing of beauty. Gleaming golden hilt with a crystal protruding from its while there was a guard. Archaic but it had an old world style beauty as Matsu set it back in and moved leaping to one of the bridges that were intact as she continued to head deeper into the ruins.

Sheila looked at Vulps as he was coming about and she was moving towards the larger goals now, her force energies coming out but not focusing on some of the things. SHe flew over to another alcove moving around the ruins to search for several things or if there was soemthing while she dropped another tattered banner for Vulps to catch before she fluttered to the bridge to keep walking. "This place is huge and must go into the mountain and planet deep."

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen made his way to [member="Matsu Ike"] and looked down at the saber, reaching out with the force. If it was an artifact, it might give a general sense of the past owner. "What do you make of it?" He caught the banner and continued his look overs. "The Je'daii banners would look much like the old republic or empire symbols. I believe the Republic was likely based off of it."

Sheila was listenign and she wasn't certain who that was as she listening but exploring some more of the areas while she found a vent and flew inside of it. Her hands lighting up to make a glowball to brighten up the areas she was exploring and it was another tomb that was sealed as she flew towards the doorway into it and set the glowball under the one side of it. Then she flew out and looked for it while she fluttered there and the bridge leading to it was destroyed but she could see her light on the one side. "There is an unopened tomb over here."

Matsu listened and looked at vulps as she was speaking. "The je'daii and the jedi have had ruins like these on several worlds. Some force cults enter them seeking treasures but unlike sith tombs where possessions are buried with them the jedi usually only one something small being protected." Matsu presented the saber though while she spoke. "It is one fo the first sabers before they knew how to make it smaller." That had Matsu moving when Sheila spoke and had the room they were able to see while she came to the door Sheila had found and she was reaching out to it. The force going through her limbs while she was moving the energies to grasp the stone slabs and it was screeching as it opened. Across the broken bridge and then finally it opened as the stone hinges snapped dropping the one door down into the abyss while Matsu was looking into the tomb. She looked at vulps and gave a face witha shrug... "Opps" She moved jumping over and slightly opening the other door to let some light filter in before she was searching around it. "Looks like this was once a jedi's tomb." Matsu was checking some of it and there was a casing with a few artifacts while she looked at some of the robes that were there. A look on her face while she touched them. "They are preserved."

 

[Vulpesen]

He stepped up behind Matsu, looking over her shoulder at the artifacts and robes. "Surprising considering the lack of people living here in so long." His walking continued around the area as he searched different bins and the like, doing his best to find some sort of item that might interest him. Robes were fine of course, but he would rather not replace his coat.

Matsu was looking at him while she checked them and there was another set, one made for a male built far larger then her and one built for a female as it was more agile and lithe. Matsu held it up while she was looking more into the sections of it and turned to look. The fabric once she opened the small casing it was in as she spoke. "Nullification resin, these are..." She felt it finally and the feeling of warmth and the lightside in her hand while she touched it. "They are force users robes which could explain the condition. These are a welcomed feeling." She held it though while looking over some more of the tomb they were in and stopped at the casket while she illuminated it. "Here lays the first of the Droma's, dynasty of the jedi." She looked at Vulps while raising an eyebrow and her hand was searching on it while she pointed to some parts of the stone. "Looks like there is a puzzle for a lock."

 

[Vulpesen]

He picked up one of the robes, looking over it. Of course ti would be amazing to incorporate the threads into his coat, but the very thought fo destroying such pieces of history was unthinkable. No, better he keep it in its current state. Walking over to the puzzle, he knelt down, bringing his hands to bear on the puzzle, making his way through it. "Zarro had hundreds of these things."

Matsu looked at him as she gave a nod of her head and snapped her fingers igniting a torch in the sides of the room. The slab of stone illuminating to show twenty stones they could push and pull while she was going to the side and looking at it. Her finger pulling at one of the stone as it rose up and the sound of shifting stone came while a door in the corner was revealed. "I have seen puzzles like this in some tombs, it is a pain at times and after thousands of years it will still work for the longest time. I had a theory it was infinite empire technology and able to reforge and self repair but I was never able to prove it." She raised it enough as slowly it clicked itno place and an image of several people appeared around them. Ulic, Cay and she could recognize Vima as the sunriders were long time friends. The saber on her belt hummed as the images disappeared and vima remained behind standing there and solidifying before tapping one of the stones and unable to speak. Matsu touched it as the door kept raising up and she spoke. "Always helping me, my own friendly ghost."

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen looked over at the two before returning to his work. His mind worked from piece to piece fixing the puzzle more and more s his hands swished around the stones. "Ace, help me out here." The wold popped up behind him, looking down at the puzzle, allowing his mind to be linked with Vulpesen's. With two minds working as one, the ed-jedi started to move even faster.

Matsu looked at him as she gave a nod of her head while he washelping. The stones rising up as another clicked but the door lowered and she pushed it back down. The door rose back up and she was checking the rest as her hands moved to look towards him. "Zarro knows these things correct?" She was looking over a number of things for it until there was a sound as the stone clicked raising the stone all the way up and the rest locked into place. Matsu looked at Vulps with a nod of her head while she took it in and was securing in her hands the saber while she held it. "Who knows maybe the spirit of Vima will come back and help us." She was being careful but the saber hilt was in her hand before she was moving into the passageway that lit up and led down towards more chambers and some murals.
