"Wait what? I only touched it for a few moments. You at least saw the stone glowing right? Here I'll try it again." Feennik places his hand back on the stone And holds it there.

Kaisen looked over at the stone and nothing happened.  Feennik did not feel the chill or see the flash that he did before. In fact, it just appeared to be a large block of dead stone.

"Strange... We'll no matter. I'm going to check out that hallway behind up now. Kaisen, you coming or do I get to keep all the credits for myself?" He jokes as he heads down the hallway the wind came from. "So tell me about this shadow man or whatever you called it. I'll want to really play that up when we sell these slabs."

Kaisen hesitated a moment, then started down the corridor.  He keept looking behind him like he was waiting for something to jump out at him.

"He was a very bad man. The one who would come and kidnap you and take you away if you were bad or mean. He could make you change your mind easily and force you to do things you did not want.  He came over and over and would steal my people away and force them to do terribly things."

As they walk, Feennik is looking for a hole where the breeze could have come from. "So about how long ago did he come over and over? Anyone alive who actually experienced is or is it just a ghost story?"

"My great-grandmother saw him.  He came and attacked my people and took many of them hostage. They left and were never seen again."

Kaisen followed Feennik, a bit wary, since he was worried that he might be losing his mind.

"Good, good. We should be able to make a huge profit on this. Might have to get it off world first, but if you can come with me and tell the ghost stories I'm sure we can find some eccentric billionaire willing to pay big credits for this. Come on let's get it up to the surface."

Feennik begins messing with the stone artifact to get it loose and begin moving it towards the hole they fell in through.

The stone artifacts seemed surprisingly light. With a little effort, and some repulsorlift technology, they were able to get all 3 stones out of the tunnels and back to the surface.  It was quite dark at that point and the weather seemed to turn colder.  A harsh wind blew from a distance and brought a sharp edge of cold to it.

Was there anything else of note down there that I saw?

OOC:

Just the archways.  They had similar writing on them. But if you were to move them, you are pretty sure it would all cave down on top of you.

"Alright Kaisen,  let's get these loaded up and head back to the hotel room. It's getting late and we've have a big day."
Feennik loads the artifacts carefully into the landspeeder and has Kaisen drive them back into town.

At the hotel, he takes the stones to his room and begins getting ready for bed.

Feennik laid down to sleep, but his mind was restless.  He kept seeing that image in his head of the writings and what they could mean.  It would not go away, and he tossed in his bed.  As the night grew darker, the urge to investigate the tablets grew. It was more and more powerful, until his eyes opened around 3am.  He looked at the tablets, and they seemed to glow with a faint blue aura. And it almost seemed as if a hunched and cloaked figure was standing next to the stones, his back to Feennik.

"Hello? Is someone here?" Feennik slowly gets out of bed, rubbing his eyes.

No one answers.  In fact, now that you are more awake there does not seem to be anyone there at all.  Maybe it was just an illusion.  Or the light was playing tricks. Or you were not fully awake.  But everything looks normal now.

<I> Well, I'm already up. No sense in putting this off any longer. Feennik gets out his tools and begins analyzing the artifacts particularly focusing on deciphering the writing on it.

The writings were old. Very old. They seemed similar to Sith language, but the examples are so few and sparse that it is really hard to tell. Only a few words seem to translate directly.  As you lean away from the tablet, back aching and head throbbing, you notice that it is bright out.  In fact, it is close to 9 am.  You have almost no recollection of the time, but there are a few words translated on your datapad.  Looking down, the letters blur for a moment before coming clear.

"Power. Death. Life. Servant. Master. Darth. Vjun"

"Hmm... interesting. This seems to be some sort of sith artifact. Though these strange events that have been happening are a bit alarming. These may be from the ancient sith and whoever this Darth Vjun is may point me in the right direction"
Feennik connects his datapad to he holonet and begins researching ancient sith artifacts and their activation, along with any hung he can find about 'Darth Vjun.'

There are many references to Sith artifacts, and many listed as for sale.  However, nothing really matches the search you are looking for.  There is not listing of a Darth Vjun on the holonet.  Not suprising, since most information about the Sith is either locked out from the Jedi or scrubbed by the Sith.

OOC: Can I figure anything out from the artifact for more study? If not, I'll move on to trying to find a buyer.

OOC:  Not at this stage. But if you were to find someone who knows about ancient artifacts, or a historian, or maybe even a  Jedi or a Sith, they might be able to help.

Feennik checks around on the holonet again. This time checking for anyone with expertise in sith artifacts, though preferably not a jedi as they tend to snuff out this kind of information.

There are few names that come up in a search for Sith experts.  However, one name does sound vaguely familiar. You remember the name mentioned by a previous customer. A professor at the University of Commenor. He is an expert in languages and translations and is not above working on side projects for some credits or even the artifact itself.

Feennik calls him up to set up a meeting between the two of them.

OOC: Am I on the same planet as him?

His secretary droid indicated he was out of the office and would not return for another 4 days. A quick check of the hyperspace lanes showed it would take about 3 days to reach Commenor from your current location.

I gather my things, carefully packing the artifacts away, and head down to the spaceport to begin my search for a transport headed to Commenor.
