To be sure, I do see a lack of movement in this RPG. On the same line of thought though, each group has its own respected leader, and that leader holds the say in what happens. In essence, each leader (Darth_Nemisis, in your groups case. DragonSith, for the other group ) is the GM for the actions, and activities that happen within each certain unit, and also the movement of that group.
That being said, Nemisis has been dragging his feet as of late, and it is much to my disapproval. I will have to check on things, and as such, if things continue to lag I will intervene.
Obviously, as the GM, I know I have a large responsibility to see that everything goes smoothly. That in mind, I will do as such.
Also, Despised you have my apologies for having yet to reply to your post; I have been quite busy. I will get to that at my earliest chance.

Starkiller listened as Draconis said "So I ask what is going to make us any different then the countless whom have come before us, what edge, what new knowledge, or bright idea is going to allow us to find this treasured item. Where do we begin? Please speak up my friends." Starkiller then thought to himself while he waited to see what the other Sith would respond.
First Rilwen suggested that they summon some sith spirits, to ask them if they have any information about where the tablet is or where it is not. Starkiller thought to himself that the idea was good one but he had some comments about it.
Next to was Pestilence, who proceeded to say "It would seem to me that everyone who has ever searched for the artifact has gone out.....In a place that emanates such intense emotions, such an object might be impossible to sense. Certainly the spirits could help in such an endeavor." Starkiller then stood up and cleared his throat and then decided to speak his mind.
"I think both this ideas have great merit to them, but there one thing we are forgetting. Both of these suggestions say we should rely on information from the ancient Sith spirits. Yet, how are we to be sure what they tell us is true? As we all know the Sith are full of malice, greed, and hatred. So why would any Lord give us information of where we could find their prize also the ones that failed could be so full of hate and malice that they led us into a trap so we would fail and end up like them. So if we are to ask the Sith spirit we need to find away to force it to tell us the truth.”
Starkiller then proceeded to ask “I have been wondering if anyone in this group has any training in farseeing? “ Tag: Draconis, Azharan, Rilwen, Pestilence

"If the tales of the old legends are indeed true, then this door will most likely have some sort of defenses. Most doors have a key. The pictures above might be that key. But do we use that key? How do you wish to proceed?." asked Re'van, not directing the question to the Dark Lord, but to her companions, knowing that Nemisis would not answer any such questions.
Lord Manticore made a warding motion with his hand, and said: "Think on the glyphs and pictures for a moment, I'd like to try something."
Nemisis watched on as Manticore, having Re'van and Rian step back a few steps, assumed a praying position. He could feel the surge in the Force as the apprentice took ahold of the the Dark side. He felt the apprentice of Lord Vassago feed off the power of the planet, and used it to help him in the lifting of the door. It was truly amazing to see such a feat from an apprentice. This, no doubt, was the reason Lord Vassago had chosen him as an apprentice.
As Manticore attempted to use his telekinetic power to lift the door, the large stone door began to move slightly. Nemisis looked to Re'van, who had her lightsaber in hand, obviously being the one to react if they were to be attacked. Then, he looked to Rian, who merely watched, allowing Manticore to do the work.
After a few minutes of using the darkside energy, Manticore had achieved the goal of lifting the door. Though, on the other side of the door stood six heavily armored and armed droids, similar to those of the ancient and popular HK droids. Each of them were armed to the teeth, two heavy blaster repeators in each hand; a belt full of a variant of grenades: thermal detonators, sonic, ion. Each droid wore armor that looked to be the most advanced, possibly cortosis; it was impossible to tell.
All six droids unleashed their heavy weapons unpon the newcomers. Nemisis, who had already had his lightasbers ignited, began deflecting blaster bolts away from him and his companions. Though, somthing that surprised the Dark Marauder: the droids looked brand new. However, this was an ancient tomb. Obviously, there was something of value hidden within this tomb.

RE: +Passage into Darkness: The Sith Trials+
Rian Aijou Tomb Entrance
As the stone slab finally locked into place, the line of droids came into view. They immediately lifted their heavy blasters, firing without any hesitation. Even as the first few bolts flew through the air, Rian was moving. He was without a lightsaber, so maintaining a position in the line of fire wasn't a wise choice. He had the capability to defend himself for a few moments, but there was another factor in the equation.
Manticore, who had so recently opened the tomb, would surely be distracted and focused on the job. This would make it rather difficult if not impossible to defend himself before he was struck by the first wave of fire. Rian's arms uncrossed instantly, as the small man moved toward Manticore. He could have tackled the man, or shoved him out of the line of fire. That option left both of them open to being struck by a stray bolt, as well as making it more difficult for them both to come immediately back into the fight.
So as his lithe form darted across the small space between them, Rian came up with a better tactic. In his right hand a blade began formed, springing to life almost as quickly as a lightsaber would have. The blade of pure darkness materialized as Rian came in front of Manticore, just in time to deflect the first blast. A second shot flew past both of the men, as Rian kept moving, two bolts whipping toward them both. Rian moved his right arm across his body, deflecting the bolt aimed at Manticore upward and back into the chamber to strike the stone roof. The second bolt clipped his right arm, burning his shoulder. It hurt, but not that much.
Rian continued to the right, removing himself from the firing line. Manticore was capable of fighting his own battle. Rian made sure that Manticore would have enough time to draw his blade without taking a hit, and hopefully deflect the next wave of fire back at the battle droids. The young sith flew behind cover, turning in preparation to come back into the fray.
Don't want the rest of the squad have all the fun.
Rian smirked, crouching behind his cover.

RE: +Passage into Darkness: The Sith Trials+
Lord Manticore
Entrance to Ancient Sith Tombs
It almost seemed like an eternity, but finally the stone door began to lift. Lord Manticore slowly opened his eyes as the stone door rose higher and his excitement intensified. Moments later, the sealed entrance was opened and that's when he felt an inner sense of alarm through the Force. His danger sense was going off something fierce.
The next moment, everything seemed to happen in a blink of an eye.
On the other side of the door stood six heavily armored and armed droids, similar to those of the ancient and popular HK series. Each of them was armed to the teeth. They held a heavy blaster repeater in each hand; a belt full of variant grenades: thermal detonators, sonic, ion. Each droid wore armor that looked to be the most advanced, possibly cortosis; it was impossible to tell.
All six droids unleashed their heavy weapons unpon the newcomers.
Lord Manticore quickly went into action as he began to draw his lightsaber and ignited it, but to his surprise, Rian had been even quicker as the former jedi moved infront of the Sith Apprentice and deflected several shots from the metallic assailants and even took a shot to the shoulder. By the time Lord Manticore was defensively twirling his own saber staff, Rian had moved out of harm's way.
The blood red zabrak growled in anger anf frustration as he vaulted far to the left and out of the droids' firing arc. Perhaps he had unwittingly set them off and the glyphs gave instructions as to how to open the door while they remained dormant, not that it mattered anymore. Lord Manticore landed and timed the release of the door which he was still holding. With a wave of a hand he would release the door ontop the first droid that stepped out of the doorway. He was certain that the heavy door would damage the droid and its grenades, the ensuing explosion should set off a series of chain reactions that would destroy the other droids as well, seeing how they too had grenades that would explode. If that didn't get them, then the ion grenades they carried would....not to mention tbe rocks that would fall upon them.
Lord Manticore half turned his head after he had let go the door and checked to see if the rest of his party was alright. He looked towards Rian who had been grazed by a shot. Just then Manticore realized that the ex-jedi had not used a lightsaber, but an ebony blade of some sort. That was certainly a surprise and a mystery that would wait until later, though he seriously made a mental note of it. He gave the jedi outcast a solid nod, then looked towards Re'van.
"Is everyone alright?" he asked in his usual rasp.
Lord Manticore spared a glance towards the Sith Lord Darth Nemisis and was not at all surprised to see him unhurt.

He joined the group and no one seemed to notice much. No one except Rilwen, of course. Lucky for him, and everyone else, they had a Wookiee. Wookiees were loyal, and he had never heard anything negative about them, except for the fact that they tend to go insane without a moment's notice. This is why he planned to keep an eye on that one. The others seemed harmless enough, but he wasn't about to rest easy. He would stick close the girl, and that's about it. Even her, though, he wasn't sure about.
Deep in his own mind he was thinking, but he didn't have any ideas of what to do. Afterall, he had spent the night prior smoking a cigarra, watching dancers, and killing the Dark Lord's apprentice. He would come up with something, though. He had to. "Why don't we just as Darth Vassago?" Azharan chimed in. Everyone else was spouting off hot ideas, why not one of his own. "I already tried to ask him, but he wasn't too responsive. Maybe if someone else asked." Of course, his voice was half sarcastic. He was just inserting his own two cents. In reality, he thought the speaking to a spirit idea was pretty bright. That is, just as long as he wasn't talking to it.
His dark eyes stalked around the hangar from within his hood. He kept quiet the remainder of the time, waiting to see what Draconis would have to say about everything. Whatever it was, time was of the essence and they hadn't moved all that far.

RE: +Passage into Darkness: The Sith Trials+
Re'van - Opening of Tomb
They had reached the begining. But beginings were never easy. There was almost always a test. It was no diffrent here.
Lord Manticore made a warding motion with his hand, and said, "Think on the glyphs and pictures for a moment, I'd like to try something." Re'van had saw where he was going with such an idea, and had began to concentrate with him, her eyes locked on the gylphs, even as she had drawn her own saber. Both she and Lord Manticore stood still as the stone in front of them, as they concentrated. The darkside moved and filled the area.
As soon as the door was lifted, the light from behind showed the glint of something near the door, just as the Darkside began to warn them of the danger. DROIDS?! What were droids doing in an ancient tomb? Now was NOT the time for such thoughts, now was the time for action.
As fast as Re'van was with her blade, it seemed however that both Lord Nemisis and Rian, who had been standing behind them, were faster. Nemisis, who had already had his lightasbers ignited, began deflecting blaster bolts away from him and the others, as Rian darted in front of Manticore, a strange black blade in his hand, just in time to deflect the first blast. A second shot flew past both of the men, as Rian kept moving, two bolts whipping toward them both. Rian moved his right arm across his body, deflecting the bolt aimed at Manticore upward and back into the chamber to strike the stone roof. Rian continued to the right, removing himself from the firing line.
Re'van quickly noticed that the fighting area was getting a bit too restrictive. If she swung her blade as the other moved in front of she and Manticore, she would certainly slice someone in the back. However, she was still in tune with the dark apprentice, as they both had been concentrating in their joint effort to move the stone, so she opted for the only sensible option.
As Lord Manticore vaulted far to the left and out of the droids' firing arc, Re'van moved leaping to the left as well, out of the line of fire. Luckily, the door to the tomb was not wide. Six droids would find it difficult to fire and move within such a restrictive space. It also made getting past them intersting. Lord Manticore, however seemed to have other ideas, as he gave a wave of his hand. Re'van smirked as she dove over some nearby rocks. That should cause and interesting chain reaction. Definatelly something exploding.
After the door slamed down once again, Lord Manticore gave the jedi outcast a solid nod, then looked towards Re'van. "Is everyone alright?" he asked in his usual rasp.
Re'van nodded, with a smirk. "Interesting." she mused. "I expected a trap. But nothing so, modern. Seems as if someone has been keeping up with upgrades." she replied, nodding at the door slowly.
"Perhaps, this time, we might wish to try the glyphs? That is, if there are any droids left." she mused softly.

IC: Nemisis
To Nemisis' surprise, Rian was the first one to take action. He had lunged in front of the vulnerable Manticore who had been busy opening the door. He deflected blades without the aid of a lightsaber...Very interesting indeed. This would definately earn the fallen Jedi some prestige.
Nemisis did not take action against the droids, he did just the oposite. He had lunged back a few meters, and took a defensive standpoint; merely deflecting any laser bolts that came his way.
Re'van had her blades ignited, the hilts emitting a blade of energy that was orange in color. Though, she followed suit with Manticore as the pair lunged to the left and out of firing range. With a flick of his hand, Manticore released the door that he had opened moments before. The heavy stone door fell upon the first droid, smashing him into the ground. Obviously, he had seen the belt of grenades around the droids mid-section, and took advantage of it. The result was an explosion that sent rock flying, and a very loud piercing noise from the sonic grenades. It would definately have an effect on all in the group.
"Is everyone alright?" asked Manticore as Nemisis approached the group, his lightsaber deactivated, but still in hand. Everyone nodded.
"Interesting. I expected a trap. But nothing so, modern. Seems as if someone has been keeping up with upgrades," Re'van said. Nemisis also thought the same thing. But, he didn't worry too much about it just yet. "Perhaps, this time, we might wish to try the glyphs? That is, if there are any droids left."
"I doubt there will be. The ion grenades most likely got the remaining droids if the explosion didn't." He paused for a moment, and then looked over to Manticore. "I suggest you re-open the door. We have a mission to complete."

Lord Manticore
Entrance to Ancient Sith Tombs
"Is everyone alright?" Lord Manticore asked in his usual rasp. His ears were still ringing somewhat from the effects of the sonic grenades, but thankfully most of the effects were contained as they exploded behind the closed door.
Re'van nodded, with a smirk. "Interesting." she mused. "I expected a trap. But nothing so, modern. Seems as if someone has been keeping up with upgrades." she replied, nodding at the door slowly.
"Perhaps, this time, we might wish to try the glyphs? That is, if there are any droids left." she mused softly.
Before the Sith Apprentice could even formulate an answer, Lord Nemisis appeared and stood among them, even as he offered his observations.
"I doubt there will be. The ion grenades most likely got the remaining droids if the explosion didn't." He paused for a moment, and then looked over to Manticore. "I suggest you re-open the door. We have a mission to complete."
Lord Manticore silently nodded in agreement. The incident had provided some excitement, even thought it was highly suspect. Re'van had voiced his own suspicious thoughts. What were such modern droids doing guarding such an Ancient Tomb? That could mean several things. Someone had visited this area sometime before, or they were expected. Either answer lead to many more unanswered question.
The blood red zabrak eyed the stone door suspiciously, although he reasoned that this time there would be no droids laying in wait, a conclusion Lord Nemisis also seemed to have arrived at. The incident definitely made Lord Manticore alot more suspicious about the retrieval of the 'tablet' and it's more sublime implications.
Even so, Lord Manticore did not dwell on the question much, at least for now. The Sith Apprentice gave Re'van a look before he moved once again before the stone door. As before, he called on the darkside to lend him strength, just as he invoked the same abilities he had used before to accomplish the task set before him. Once again the stone door rose from its place, and once it reached a particular height, it caught firmly in place. Lord Manticore took a deep breath and looked at the open doorway wearily.
"I guess one of us should go in first..." he said half jokingly as he took a small step in the door's direction. The Sith Apprentice held his saber staff in one hand at the ready and felt ahead with the Force. He was certain his danger sense would warn him should there be any more unpleasant surprises waiting for them.
