Do You Want To Buy A Plot With Prophecy?
General Summary
How about exploring underground complexes and solving strange puzzles? It's a bit like a dungeon crawl, with way better lighting and decor.
- Tor'vir is attacked during exploration by two large creatures. The group helps kill them. Asha identifies them as Tuk'ata.
- The group finds a key on one of the dead Tuk'ata and uses it to open the locked chest they'd found and couldn't open. They find a false bottom with notes. Asha skims it and there is someone trying to hide forbidden knowledge from the Priests and the Slumbering God. It also has some runes.
- They find a hidden turbolift in the tuk'ata room, but can't figure out how to operate it.
- They find a room with teaching machines and VR items. A voice warns them not to touch.
- They find another Sith Circle and get more of the puzzle clues.
- They find a room with a dead tree and get attacked by a strange creature. It takes some clever work but they kill it. There is a pedestal in the room and they are provided a set of rewards: bowcaster, shield generator, and a key. Niwadi takes the key. They take nothing else, despite the voice trying to entice them to do so.
- They find a small hallway leading to the "Big Room" and a stylized solar system. Niwadi realizes the system is not accurate, fixes it, and it opens a locked door. This leads to a Sith Circle and the last of the runic clues. and a pronouncement that the acolyte has survived the trials and should report to the Priests or to the Slumbering God's chamber.
- Convinced they can solve the puzzle, they head back to the first room (killing sudden swarms of kor'slugs on the way). Asha cleverly solves the runic puzzle, opening the force field to the "Big Room" and the party enters. They are greeted by a Force Ghost!
- Actually, it's a hologram, they are technologically advanced enough to realize that. The hologram has been building and running the society following Darth Glovoc's orders while the sith is in stasis. Asha negotiates for the information the group came for. In return for data from the ship on current events, the holograms trades the "Wisdom of the Slumbering God" - star chart information, information on the Rakatans, and information on the Kurzah, as well as answering a few questions. It also requires a message be brought to the Jedi and the Republic, essentially a legal document asserting ownership of this planet. They also give the hologram a comm code for their ship as a gift, although it states it cannot use it. It will provide the code to Darth Glovoc should he wake early.
- The trade is made, and the group prepares to leave, although they decide to try the key puzzle room. Unable to open the puzzle, they leave, preparing to head back to their ship...

Things Learned
- These are not just survivors of a crash but the society is being specifically molded and shaped by the AI hologram in accordance to Darth Glovoc's will and visions of the future.
- The hologram refers to the "Age of the Jedi Lords" when it learns the Sith Empire has been destroyed and sees Sith working with Jedi. This is one of the ages Glovoc foresaw.
- The hologram mentions five visits like ours - we are the first.
- The VR training room will be ready for use in about 1500 planetary years if the society stays on schedule.
- After asking if there will be more ages of the Sith, the hologram gives a lengthy reply of two more, and then a Dark Jedi will destroy the Jedi, the Sith, the Republic and the Empire. In the far flung future there will eventually be a single ray of light left, and then Darth Glovoc will wake to fight the light and hope to win.
- There are circumstances under which Darth Glovoc will awaken 'early'
