Kess and Vex exchanged a wary glance. They knew they had to get out of there, and fast. But as they turned to leave, they found themselves surrounded by more cultists, and the hooded figure began to circle around them, its lightsaber crackling to life...

Kess smiled wryly. "I'm afraid we can't leave without it. We have... buyers who are very interested in acquiring it."

A figure emerged from the shadows, a hooded figure wielding a lightsaber. Kess recognized the saber's hilt as belonging to an ancient Sith Lord. Kess 5.030

Upon arrival, they found the temple entrance guarded by a group of robed figures. Kess recognized the symbols on their robes as belonging to an ancient Twi'lek cult.

But they were not alone.
