Ancient Exploration

Extra Fields

Mission: Explore tunnels under the Jedi temple.

Volunteers: Padawan Macuy, Padawan Denari

Equipment taken along: Red first aid kit, backpack with rope, flashlight, chalk and simple datapad.

The tunnels are accessed from the cellar.

Chalk was used to mark turns (numbered arrows), explored rooms (crosses) and loops (circles).

The initial passage is hewn, unlit, less than a meter wide and leads some distance away from the cellar before turning east. After this turn, there are two minor rooms.

Beyond the rooms is a stairwell. Along this stairwell, there are two alcoves, one one either side. There are empty pedestals in the alcoves. After passing the alcoves, a trap must have been activated that shifted the steps to transform the stairs into a slide. The trap mechanism has yet to be found, therefore the stairs have not yet been restored.

At the bottom of the stairwell is an antechamber. On either side of the antechamber is an alcove, this time without pedestal.

The door to the next room is broken. The room beyond is octagonal shaped, with a damaged statue on a raised platform. Humanoid feet are still recognizable. To the left is another passage.

Walls of the room are cracked and partially caved in, by multiple events long ago with some time between them.

An ancient datapad, with logo shown below, was recovered from the rubble.

The next passage is again reasonably long and leads to another large room. Leaking groundwater gathers in puddled there. A passage to the left is flooded, and needs to be explored or cleared later. The passage to the right leads up somewhat. Against the remaining wall of the room two piles of rocks have been made. At the top are glyphs, which have been copied to a datapad for translation, a heavy lightsaber and a skull, most likely of the owner of the lightsaber.

The passage to the right takes a turn to the left, and leads to a dusty looking area. Remnants of a camp are there. An airduct leads up, there is some draft and light at the end. It might lead to a past of the current temple, but this has not been verified yet.

From this room two things have been revovered: an R1-D1 astromech droid, and an statue 30 cms of length with a septagonal base, with dents in the sides.

A stone door leads to another room. It was trapped with darts. Thanks to precautions none got seriously hurt.

The room beyond seems to be a tomb, without other entrances or exits. Crystals set in the wall illuminate the area. Something that looks like a sarcophagus is in this room. The sarcophagus is finely decorated, but at the top a seven sided area is missing. Perhaps the recovered statue is used to be there. We did not enter this room, as we deemed it inappropriate to do so without the guidance of a Master.

On the way back to the temple, the blue data crystals were found.

Recovered pieces of information were investigated and analysed with Quartermaster Aktha and Master Crular.

From this we have learnt the following:
