[Jareth Lightfang]

"I shall see if I can find some tracks. I will contact you if I find anything. "

Jareth stalks around the temple searching for any suspicious tracks, trying to make his presence as unnoticeable as possible.

((Check: 10 = 4 Force Level + 4 Fitness + 1 Stealth + 1 Wilderness Survival -- For making sure that if anything is out there, he finds it before it finds him. Because I'm in the wild I would like to use my knowledge of the wilderness to my advantage))

Nalan and T'sal

Inside the temple it was a mess. Statuses and furniture was smashed, books and other items where scattered on the floor.

There was blood spatter in the hallway, but only in small amounts. To the left a door was smashed, through the opening the two padawans could see some simple, uncomfortable beds. The hallway stretched along the front of the temple. There where three doors to the right of the entrance and two doors to the left, including the smashed door.

The disturbance in the Force seemed to come from the furthest door to the right.

Jareth

The only tracks Jareth found where from animals, but at the back of the temple he did find a piece of red cloth tied to a tree branch.

[T'Sal]

T’sal takes a look at the statues, books and items. She is curious as to what kind of force religion these people have.

“It looks likes there has been some kind of raid. The disturbance in the Force is coming from there.”

Said T’sal while point towards the door of the door furthest to the right.

[Nalan Passik]

"Judging from the blood around is it does not seem that anyone was killed. probably just wounded"

Nalan looks towards the door T'sal points too and ponders

"They could be taken to whatever is behind that door. It could be best to go and help whoever we can and find out what happend here. Though on the other hand we might want to look around a bit longer to see what we are dealing with. rushing in unprepared might be unwise to say the least"

Nalan looks around to reassess the situation from the scene and after a while looks at T'sal and smiles.

"but I am not one to shy away from a challenge if people are in danger. I vote we check out what is behind there"

[Dragonmaster352]

((OOC: Could you please do something instead of talking about doing something? I can't continue if you don't.))

[T'Sal]

T'sal walks towards the door while still concentrating on the Force. She then peaks carefully inside before entering the room.

((Check: 9 = 5 Force Level + 3 Vision + 1 Stealth -- Sneaking looking around the corner into the room.))

((OOC: I thougth your where waiting for Jareth to reply. Moving on now.))

[Dragonmaster352]

T'Sal and Nalan

T'Sal peaked into the room, while Nalan was on the look out. The room was nearly empty, only a pedestal stood in the middle of the floor. It was empty.

Seeing that everything was clear the two Jedi moved into the room and as they looked around they noticed the disturbance in the Force was slowly fading away. Like whatever had caused it had already been removed.

The Padawans could look around some more or rejoin Jareth outside.

((OOC: I'm moving things along a bit but a lack of a response from Jareth and Nalan slows things down. Please increase your post frequency to once a week.))

[Nalan Passik]

Nalan wonders why the source of the disturbance was slowly fading away.

"I am going to follow the trail a bit longer." Nalan quickly says to T'sal.

Nalan increases her pace and runs in the direction she feels the force is.

[T'Sal]

T'sal is disappointed that everything seems to be gone. As Nalans want to follow the track T'sal stays inside.

"Okay, go ahead. I will search all the rooms inside, maybe I can find something.

((Check: 8 = 5 Force Level + 3 Vision -- Doing a systematic search and look for clues.))

((OOC: It would be nice to have something to go on.))

[Dragonmaster352]

Nalan followed the the Force and ended up at the rear of the temple with Jareth. There she could sense something coming from a piece of red cloth that was tied to a tree branch.

T'Sal looked around the temple but only found similar scenes as in the hallway, so she joined the other two back outside.

((OOC: I love to give clues but if people don't react to them I can't do anything.))

[T'Sal]

T’sal walks towards the others.

“There is nothing inside. Did you find anything?”

She waits for the others to answer. T’sal also looks at the red cloth in the three. With her telekinetic power she unties is and get is down. She investigates it and also takes a look at the map to see if the cloth points into one direction.

((OOC: Yes, now T'sal sees the cloth (clue) and hopefully we get somewhere.))

[Nalan Passik]

"Hmm I wonder what this red cloth is from, and how it get stuck to the tree. Maybe we should check around a but better to look for more clues. It cannot be that everyone is just gone without a trace."

Nalan ventured back inside and walked towards to main hall they first entered. She recalled there was a pedestal there. It appeared to be empty but she wanted a closer look

((Check: 10 = 5 Force Level + 5 Vision -- looking around the pedestal for clues))

[Dragonmaster352]

Nalan heads back to the room and searches around, not finding anything she returns to the back of the temple.

The piece of cloth in T'Sal's hand doesn't point to anything. However, she does feel a slight tucking, like an invisible wire is pulling it into the forest.

Suddenly the three Jedi are called by the pilot who tells them Jareth has been urgently summoned back to the Jedi Temple and that he will come to pick him up immediately.

A few minutes later the shuttle lands, picks up Jareth and takes off again. The pilot told Nalan and T'Sal there will be another shuttle that will pick them up once they finish the mission.

Now it's just Nalan and T'Sal on the planet and they need to decide if they want to follow the cloth or not.

((OOC: As of this moment Jareth has officially been written out of this story. It just took to long for him to post and I wasn't going to let one person hold up the story. I provided him with advance notice of a last chance to which he failed to reply to. I believe I have been more than reasonable and am there for taking his silence as acceptance.))

[Nalan Passik]

Nalan was suddenly alone with T'sal on this mission and hoped that the loss of a party member would not come back to haunt them later on. Nevertheless there was something that needed to be figured out.

"It seems this piece of cloth is somewhat out of the ordinary. What do you think T'sal?"

[T'Sal]

T’sal lets go of the piece of cloth and waits to see if it is pulled away by the wire. She uses the Force and focuses on the cloth and the wire. She wants to follow the cloth.

“No, there is nothing special to it. But there seems to be some kind of invisible wire pulling it into the forest. Let’s follow it and see where it will lead us.”

((Check: 10 = 5 Force Level + 5 Intuition -- Using the Force to detect the wire and let the Force guide them.))

[Dragonmaster352]

T'Sal looks for a wire but finds nothing, perhaps it wasn't as ordinary as she thought.

[Nalan Passik]

((OOC: Your nor really giving us anything to go on. also not really responding to what T'sal typed. She specificly typed "Let’s follow it and see where it will lead us". Why do we not get a "you head into the forrest" type post?))

Nalan nods in agreement.

"lead the way"

[Dragonmaster352]

((OOC: I used a metaphor that was taken literally, you can't follow something that isn't there.))

[T'Sal]

T'sal walks into the Forest and uses the Force to guide her. Hopefully they would find something there.

((Check: 10 = 5 Force Level + 5 Intuition -- Use the Force to guide her a way))


((OOC: In my action I post that I also use the force to guide me. So why do use that to get us into the forest. Now you are just holding us up and that is really annoying. You are not helping us get anywhere.))

[Dragonmaster352]

The two Jedi Padawans go into the forest, being guided by the pull of the red cloth.

After about an hour of walking they find a large red smear on a tree, after a closer look it appears to be blood.

Looking around they see a trail of blood, but the cloth is pulling in another direction.

The Padawans now must decide if they want to follow the cloth or the blood. Either way splitting up would probably be a bad idea.

[Nalan Passik]

As the two stumbled upon the blood it made Nalan worry quite a bit.
Although she was interested on where the cloth would lead them. perhaps this blood belonged to any of the mission people and could be in need of help.

"Let us follow the blood first, If it is one of the missing people he could still be alive and in need of first aid"

[T'Sal]

While they walk in the forest T'sal also keeps an eye on the map to see where they are heading for. When they come to the three T'sal takes a good look around the tree to see what had happened here.

"Lets look for traces and check how fresh blood first. We do not have to worry if it has been there weeks."

As T'sal did not have any medical skills she has to make a scientific estimate of how old the blood is.

((Check: 8 = 5 Force Level + 3 Vision -- Determine how old the blood and look for other traces.))

[Dragonmaster352]

The blood hasn't dried up completely yet, so it couldn't have been there long.

The amount and the drag marks didn't bode to well.

[T'Sal]

"It's is not dry and this is quite a lot of blood. So I agree with you let's hurry."

T'sal tries to follow the blood track as fast as possible. As the trail is quite obvious she uses to force to jump ahead. Every now and then she makes a high jump on a tree to look ahead and hopefully quickly spot the bleeding person.

((Check: 8 = 5 Force Level + 3 Vision -- To follow the blood trail and look for the person))
((Check: 9 = 5 Force Level + 3 Fitness + 1 Force Jump -- To quickly cover some distance by jumping.))

[Nalan Passik]

As T'sal dashed off jumping through the path Nalan smiled and quickly followed. She choose to stay close to the ground to keep a better eye out for tracks. Nalan could only hope it was not yet too late to do anything.
