Pack of Vandrow (Remake and open for players)

@Aristocles
Chincf
Chincf's hackles begun to bristle and his ears curve backwards as a growl builds in his throat. "I thought she was right behind you!" He snapped somewhat frustrated though he was clearly trying not to take it out on the other hunter too badly. Of all the times to lose a pack member, it had to be on the first spring hunt when their food was drastically low. The beta paces back a few paw steps, glowering into the treeline. There was nothing for it, they would have to go back and look for her. The beta huffed out an angry breath. "We'll have to backtrack, but let's not waste the time we spent tracking these rabbits and see if you and I can catch some on our own first." Chincf muttered, padding towards another hole that has fresh tracks scattered around it, indicating the rabbits had recently used it. Peering into the dark opening, he discovers two rabbits huddled in the tunnel. Growling, Chincf snaps his teeth and sends them running, hoping they will dart for the exit where Carek is waiting and not one of the others that are unguarded.

Saaba
Saaba was quite relieved that Avir didn't openly tease her about her lack of fishing ability, sinking down to lie on the ground as he darted off downstream. While she watched over the cub and waited for him to return she suddenly realised how drained she felt. She had cut it close this time, a few more days and she wouldn't have been able to hunt at all. With the snow melting now, hopefully prey would be easier to find in a few weeks' time. Avir returned with some fish, dropping them beside her. Her mouth watered just from the smell and she looked up at him for a moment before gladly tearing into the fish. They didn't last long. Licking the stray scraps from her whiskers, the tigress nodded. "Thanks..." the question was...what now? They couldn't leave the cub on her own, but travelling with a male permanently? Saaba wasn't sure she liked the idea of that.

Aria had opened her mouth to answer Yerbol's theories with her own, but just as he started to apologise the scream from further along the passageway cut both of them off. Narrowing her eyes warily, Aria picked up her pace into a brisk walk. She paused and craned her head up to peer at the five prisoners, before her attention was diverted to the strange alien as he gave them instructions on their task. He was unlike any race she had seen in the past, but before either of the pair could ask him anything else pertaining to the task or the alien himself, he had vanished entirely from their sight.
"Well, of course." For once she didn't argue against the suggestion. "I'm sure I have more experience in the field of interrogation than you do...besides, I don't think you have the stomach for it." Her teeth flashed faintly in the dim light of the torches as she grinned at him. While it was a snide comment for the most part, there was an undertone of a witty nature (perhaps a sign that she would slowly warm to Yerbol's company over time), if he could see past her lack of repulsion at the thought of torturing people.

Resting her hands on her hips, the acolyte bounced on the balls of her feet in agitation, gaze returning to the prisoners. "Did you have to hang them from the ceiling? This doesn't make this any easier." She muttered under her breath. Trying to intimidate someone into giving you the answers you wanted when they were higher up than you made things tricky at best. There was a general lack of other implements (from more generic equipment to the starving beasts that would occasionally be used on prisoners at the Korriban academy), at tjeir disposal; therefore she would have to focus on Force-based techniques alone...it was doable. Perhaps more difficult, but doable nonetheless.

Rattling the chains that the cages were suspended from was effective. After their squeals of surprisehad died down, she began to speak again. "Right. I'm going to start asking questions-"
"More questions? We've been here for long enough, we've told you everything, just let us go!" The Rodian interrupted, perhaps hoping that if he appeared brave enough it would persuade them of his innocence.

Aria rolled her eyes; dropping her lightsabers into the clips at her belt, she extended her hands out towards the cages. Blue bolts of electricity jumped from her fingertips towards the five prisoners, causing them to cry out sharply in pain. She started with low power, for now.
"-every time you don't give us a satisfactory answer, or if you lie to us-and believe me, I will know if you are-I'll turn up the voltage." She studied the prisoners with a quirked eyebrow, her head tilting slightly to one side. "So, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. First question: someone explain to me exactly how you ended up in here." Her attention directed towards the Twi'lek who had seemed rather quick to condemn the first woman. "You. Start talking."

Chincf

Chincf paused, waiting for Carek to argue further against his instructions. But he was glad when the other wolf dropped the subject and returned his focus to tracking the rabbit scent. With his tail up, Chincf took the lead heading towards where the scent was strongest. Dark holes in the snow betrayed where the openings of the rabbit's warren were. "Alright, spread out and sit on the holes that are most used." He instructed the hunters, only to realise Shadow wasn't with them. ".....Carek, where's Shadow?"

Tikaani
Tikaani's shoulders relaxed as the tiger family parted ways without any further hostilities, wagging her tail at Robyn's praise.
"Thanks. I really think we should make more effort to be less pushy with them, if we did we might get on better. Heck, we could even share prey when it got short and one had more than the other." She sighed, knowing Reaver and many other members of the pack wouldn't share her views. She dipped her head as they returned to the clearing, and headed out to follow the trail of her brother's hunting party. Shadow'a scent veered off from the others towards the rocky foothills so Tikaani followed it, keeping downwind and just watching at first. She wouldn't give Shadow'a position away and would only watch unless the other she-wolf needed her help.

Saaba
The tigress' ears flattened uneasily. "I er....I'm not good at fishing..." she admitted awkwardly. She would take whatever food she could get if it meant not starving but she hadn't fished since she had left her mother's territory to go out on her own.

It turned out to in fact be Yerbol approaching again. She feels a rush of relief filling her for a brief moment, shaking it off and trying to remain objective. He seems a shade paler than when he had left and she has to wonder what it was he had seen in that hallway.
"You look like you've seen a ghost." She snorted at the irony, if her own experience had been anything to go by then perhaps it wasn't a far off assumption.

She let out a breath, turning towards the center passageway. "Shall we?" Aria gestured into the yawning darkness, looking over her shoulder at him. "Or do you need a moment?" After waiting a while just in case, the acolyte stips forward into the third and final archway marked out to test 'Redemption'.

The passage is just as eerily silent as its predecessor. Clearing her throat, Aria spoke in a whisper in an attempt to not draw undue attention to them in case there was something other than illusions lurking in here.
"So, redemption...that's a Jedi thing, why the hell's it part of a Sith trial? And...what is it going to ask us to do?" Aria squinted towards Yerbol, fully expecting him to come out with some kind of explanation to her question.

Finally got it finished, had to thi k for a while and do a little digging to come up with a good representation of a test of power. hope it doesn't feel too rushed or anything! O:

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Yerbol shouted back his agreement. He didn't sound panicked either, so everything muse be okay...at least for now. Aria trudged onwards, hands outstretched in front of her to keep her bearings. It was so dark she could scarcely see in front of her nose so she had to rely on her other senses to find her way and make sure she didn't trip on any cracks or breaks in the ground.

The further onwards she moved, the colder the air got. For a moment Aria nearly panicked. Had those beasts come back and followed her down the passageway? Had they gotten Yerbol, too? When she began to hear movements close beside her, the Sith acolyte almost jumped out of her skin. Her hands flew to her lightsabers instinctively, keeping them steady in front of her as she waited for the next sounds. The red light emitted by her weapons wasn't much, but it was enough to give her scope of her surroundings. Perhaps she should have used them sooner and whatever this was wouldn't have managed to creep up on her unawares.

Swinging to face the direction of the footsteps, she was met with a familiar and all to disconcerting face smiling coolly back at her.
"You've done very well, Ari." He praised, stepping towards her. "I knew you would convince them to trust you."
Warily, Aria took a few steps backwards as her father began to move towards her.
"Wh-what are you doing here?" Her voice shook unsteadily, ordinarily she would have been offended that he felt the need to check up on her but this time was different. Did he know she had been considering the Jedi's offer of escape?

The Sith lord's saber hummed to life and he kept moving towards her. "Just a reminder for you, kid." Was he here to kill her? Aria planted her feet and raised her blades as her father lunged for her. They exchanged blows while he forced her to move further into the passageway. Panicked, the acolyte realised she could not longer sense Yerbol. She was on her own now.

"You can do better than that! I taught you to kill, now use it! There is a time where the apprentice must take the Master's place, by force if necessary!" He taunted her, lunging again. Snarling, Aria darted sideways to avoid the blow and pushed the Sith lord back into the passage wall with the Force. Panting for breath, she swallowed and faced her father again.

That's when it hit her, something wasn't right here...she studied him more closely. Her father never went anywhere without the pair of Tuk'ata he had tamed, they padded ever faithfully at his heels like pet dogs.

They weren't here. At all. Even if they had been concealed by Force techniques she would have been able to smell their breath from miles off. Slowly, Aria began to realise why. This was an illusion. This was the test, she was supposed to kill him, too. Sacking in a sharp breath, the acolyte struck back again, this time delivering a killing blow. The dying gasp emitted by the apparition was startlingly lifelike, but any illusion of reality was gone as it dissipated.

Silence. Aria swallowed and turned around in a slow circle. Was there something else she had to do? A grinding sound echoed through the chamber, and part of the rock face receded into a smaller hallway. Torches roared to life along the walls, illuminating the path she was to take next.

Aria stowed her weapons back at their place on her belt and followed the trail of flickering lights to find herself back at the original chamber where she and Yerbol had first parted ways again. The middle hallway yawned ominous and dark before her. Peering down the one marked for 'Vengeance ', Aria thought she could faintly see a blue light of some kind but no immediate sign of Yerbol. Was that light coming from his saber?
