The Wookiees who had been taken as slaves had been returned to their tribes, the Trandoshans dealt with according to Wookiee tribal law and their camp dismantled by the furious dwellers of the trees. All was well within this section of the forests of Kashyyyk save for the cave that sat upon the edge of the slaver's camp that he and Indy had seen before.
Max's whole purpose on Kashyyyk had been based on the Madclaw who had gone suddenly, completely, mad without warning. Yes the Madclaw had been captured and briefly enslaved but the freed slaves reported he had escaped down into the cave before emerging completely enraged. After emerging from the cave, the Wookiee who was to become a Madclaw fled without even looking back at his captured brethren.
But all the reports said the same; before he went into the cave he was a stellar example of a warrior Wookiee and when he returned from the caves his mind was completely and utterly gone.
Standing at the edge of the cave's mouth now, Max could believe it. There was a foul stench that rose from the cave and only some of it was the real, physical, smell of rotting and decaying meat. Beyond that was a 'stench' that could only be perceived through the Force, a perversion that could only belong to the Dark Side of the Force. But it was old... ancient really...
"Indy." he spoke quietly even as he drew his lightsaber, "We are entering the realm of the enemy now."
