Adam nods to Jek and says “Righto. I’ve got it.” He picks up the mirror and makes his way down the stairs. He listens as he goes for any sounds behind him, and follows down the long set of stairs and then proceeds down the tunnel.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Travin produces a torch and lights it, clicking his fingers he Controls the open flame and it produces double the light, piercing through the darkness around him, he looks around and whispers "Scleth si seel" giggling at himself as he copies Jek who casts spells in celestial. Travins eyes glow with arcane energy for the next few minutes as he looks around attempting to Detect the Magic of the shard.
"What's is a skeksis hmm? Those spiders thingses was Arathem yeh? Or is travin wrong? Hmmm? There are too many shadowses in here.."
Jek catches up quickly. "Shadows aren't the problem. It's the darkness beyond the shadows, that's where bad things hide. Hmmm, Skeksis? They are the other half of the uuRu, the Mystics. Those Mystics use to tell stories about it. They were once one race, the urSkeks. But they were separated during the first conjunction, becoming the Skeksis and the uuRu. They control the Dark Crystal. It would be bad if they get the Shard."
Jek walks faster, trying to catch up to Mother Aughra. "Hello, ahh, Mother.... Aughra.... umm what do you prefer to be called? How much further to these shards you collected? You know which one is the real one, right? Or, is there another way to determine it? I'm sorry about your home, but I promise we'll get you somewhere safe."
This explanation obviously gives Travin a lot to think about, and he goes quiet for a moment, before thinking out loud "this new conjunction, hmmm? Coulds it separates more races yeh? Opens doors to new possibilities hmmm yeh yeh!? Sounds likes a big mess, Travin likes the sound of that Yeh Yeh! Let's gets this shard HM!" He ponders more upon what a conjunction even is.
"AUGHRA IS WHAT I AM CALLED. OR MOTHER AUGHRA. HM." Aughra says as they walk the corridor in the darkness. Travin's torch lights things up very well, even though the woman's shadow draws long down the hallway.
Behind them, many yards back now, and up the stairs, they hear the Arathim as they attack the door that Jek had webbed shut.
"NOT MUCH FURTHER. HM. AUGHRA KEPT THEM DEEP ENOUGH THAT THEY WOULD BE HARD TO FIND." She says, taking a turn and heading down another corridor....and turning again shortly after that. "I DON'T KNOW! NOT MY CONCERN. A HERO WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN SALT WILL FIGURE THAT OUT HIMSELF."
Another turn.
"DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU GET BEHIND IT OR NOT!" Aughra retorts to Travin with an indignant flourish. "CONJUNCTION IS COMING REGARDLESS!"
There's a sound somewhere head as they take another turn. Somewhere ahead in the darkness. A sound like breathing.
Thea, having cast light on the end of her quarterstaff Gandald style, easily gets lost in jewelers thoughts of what these crystal shards might look like and what could be made from them. She snaps to attention when Skot points out the sound like breathing coming from the darkness. “What is that? Mother Aughra? Do you know if anyone or thing else should be down here?”
"NO ONE SHOULD BE DOWN HERE." She says to answer Thea.
As if summoned...a red blade lights up in the corridor ahead, thrumming with power loud enough that they can hear it. It illuminates black armor, a black cape behind it, an armored enshrouded face amplifying the labored breaths of the warrior hiding in the dark.
"hello? Hm! Who is you? Travin and Travin's team people's is here for the shard! Yeh yeh" Travin looks around and is confused, he glances at Aughra with a scowl. "Aughra said no one should be down here, hmmm? Then who is this? Yeh? With one of those shiny swords hmmm?" He points at Vader waiting for someone to do or say anything.
Adam moves forward from the mid portion of the group, looking forward. He sees the light saber ahead and recognizes it, as well as the carrier of it by the description. His jaw is set and a grim look comes to his face. “Shiny sword.” comes out of his mouth, as he is doing calculations in his head and the cogs are turning. He sets down the mirror he was carrying on the ground. He looks back to Ironsides and motions to him, indicating for him to come forward.
Adam reaches down and pulls out his own light saber, pressing the button, and an orange blade extends with the telltale sound, he holds it down and glares ahead, readying himself. ”Why is he here.” Though he knows the answer to his own question.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Jek hears the breathing... It sounds familiar.... But no... It can't be... Not again... Jek closes his eyes as the red blade extends....
And sees a green dress, a kind face, a smile. Thats right. He remembers what he said to Piccolo no so long ago. He is a chosen of the AUYRN, and this is his path. With a deep breath, he opens his eyes to see the orange blade extend from Ker-Adam's sword. They can do this!
Jek quickly grabs the new AUYRN under his shirt and thinks out a message.
Jek steps back, out of the light, and waits. If it looks like Vader is about to attack, he will Subtly cast Haste on Ker-Adam.
"I wondered what happened to that Inquisitor's lightsaber." The booming voice carries down the corridor. Lord Vader slowly walks forward, taking his time as he advances on the group. "I don't know what you intend to do with it, but once you are dead, I will pry it from your fingers and return it to my armory. I've killed women and children. I've killed everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you. I will be taking the Shard of Division. And I will have what I am after. Nothing, not you, not damn anybody, is going to stand in my way."
He reaches forward...clenches his fist...and Thea makes a gurgling sound as she is hauled through the air to Vader. The warrior reaches out with a mail-clad hand and grips her, drawing her close and raising his lightsaber.
Jek quickly lets out the subtle haste spell on Ker-Adam.
"STOP!" He'll shout as he steps forward. "Hello again. If you kill us, you will never find the Shard. It is too well hidden, and the Skessis's minions are right behind us. If you let us live, we will take you to the shard."
Thea petite Thea is completely caught off guard and she clutches at her throat as her feet dangle in the air while Vader pulls her to him. Her lavender eyes widen in fear and her forehead shimmers with that pink light as she tries to gather whatever power she can to break free. She’s utterly helpless at the moment though. And terrified.
Seeing what’s happening to Thea, Skot goes invisible and readies his bow and a tiny poison arrow. He waits to see what Jek’s gamble yields.
"I would advise you to shut your fool mouth, Jek Utinni." Lord Vader says. He menaces Thea's face with the lightsaber. "Do you think you can deceive me? Threaten me? Beat me? I can read your thoughts."
Adam can’t stand it any longer. He motions Ironsides forward, saying “Flail time!” to him, his code word to him and Ironside’s flails drop down as he moves forward 30 ft. Adam takes his shield in hand, and moves forward to engage Vader with his lightsaber. As he does so, he says out loud to him, “You see, my snail don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.” He feels his actions speeding up with the effects of the haste affecting his movements.
Travin watches Thea rise clutching her throat and Skot disappear completely, he could make a guess at the person they are facing especially now that Vader is within range of Travin's detect magic. He peers at Vader's shiny trinkets for a moment before dropping concentration on his arcane vision choosing instead to back up a little (50ft from Vader if possible), clicking his fingers and barking out a command in infernal "Hyiz hafr wmuz!" He follows this up with common "Drop! Drop her, hm!, bads person! No! Drop it! Yeh! Who is this guy? Hmmm?" (Heat metal on Vader's armour for 6 fire damage)
Birt moves up yelling his own name loudly and casts Faerie fire (DC13 Dex save) spinning his arms around wildly as he casts, the dust blowing off of the Firey troll laying brightly on everything within 20ft of Vader.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Jek smiles behind his wrap as Adam begins moving at an accelerated pace. His spell worked! He wasn't sure, it's the first time he's tried it.
Jek will mumble after Vader made his statement "Read these thoughts, than." He will think about his conversations with Dageron about the mating rituals of Hobgoblins and of the lore he learned about geese. As Adam begins to hit Vader, he can't help but to briefly think of a wounded Vader with a sundered helmet, then goes back to thinking about geese.
