What is going to happen in your plot?
Sith Cultists Alyse Ti'Varnus and Trinity decipher one of the fables pertaining to the fall of the Nightsisters, revealing the location of the lone witch Shelish, a member of the Nightsister clan that avoided its culling. Deciding to embark on a mission to uncover what became of the witch, the two cultists enlist the help of a mercenary and set off towards Jhas Krill. The group must confront hazardous conditions and vicious wildlife in order to reach the witch's hold. Guarding what remains of it, a crazed wookiee confronts the group. After dealing with the wookiee the group finds that the hut had already been ransacked and thus must investigate as to who the culprit was.
Any evidence they find leads them to Mataou where they begin questioning the locals as to the whereabouts of a character by the name of Kouhun. With little to no luck, they lose their only lead. Unbeknownst to them however, they have attracted the attention of an order of masked assassins, one that intends to stay hidden.

Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen. Include opposition type for each thread:
[*] - Conditional on previous thread success
Well past midnight and into the early hours of the morn, within Alyse Ti'Varnus' family residence. The blonde haired-guardian and Trinity decode the location of Shelish from one of the books of fables and myths from Alyse's library. This dathomirian witch was of the few Nightsisters to survive the culling during the Clone Wars. Deciding that this was obviously worth following up on, the two immediately begin to prepare for the journey.
Arriving on Jhas Krill, the widely uninhabited moon of Jhas in the Anoat Sector of the outer rim, the two cultists posing as avid historians and a hired mercenary trek through the wilderness. Following the signs of dark side corruption and tainted wildlife, they must fight through hazardous environmental conditions and the creatures that stalk in the dark until they reach their destination.
Upon arrival at Shelish's abode, the group is met by a foul-stenched wookiee by the name of Owacchi. Having been a close companion of the long since passed Nightsister witch, he had fallen to madness due to his isolation and the dark side taint left by the witches magicks. The party must find a way to subdue the monster by any means necessary if they hope to gain access to the witch's hut. Upon completion the two cultists will realise that the witch's possessions are nowhere to be found, however with a thorough investigation they will be able to track the looter down to Mataou, with only a single name as a lead, Kouhun.
Waking in an mysterious place, Alyse and Trinity are forced to drink the Waters of Truth, a concentrated dose of a deadly neuro-toxin that will slowly cause degeneration of both the mind and body. They will then be interrogated by the Kouhun as to their motives and be faced with a trial to determine their willingness to survive and their worthiness to be spared. It was in fact Shelish's daughter, Deathstick who had recovered her possessions after her death and had taken them back to her order of assassins the Kouhun on Mataou.
What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game?” Link any items you’re seeking if applicable.
On completion of thread 5:
Alyse will add The Book of Shadows to her collection of dark side texts
The book of shadows will be used as a centre point for her character's study and development, drawing upon techniques of manipulation to be used as Alyse works to influence Bakura's government.
An explanation for why this is important to her character's story arc:
Alyse is currently in the intended process of working to reinforce the Sith Eternals presence on Bakura, and intending to sew seeds of dissent to allow cultist members to seep into and influence the planets governance towards the Sith's ideology.
Reference the plot submission: Sowing Seeds
Shelish's journal will also be obtained by the cultist duo and will provide further clues that can be decoded and used for future plots involving Nightsister/dark side artifacts. This will serve to play an important role in Trinity's search for answers into her emotionless condition.
Do you need any involvement of canon NPCs or faction leaders to be DMed by a staff member? If so, please detail who/what and for what purpose.
Owacchi can be staff DMed or self-DMed at the discretion of the staff since he is an obscure canon character.
