Not that he can detect.

Oh well. Back the way they came, then, and time to face some Dark Side mindduckery.

Before he visited the Nightmare Lands, this definitely would seem like some A-class mindduckery. Having been there and survived... eh. It's a vague bad feeling. There's not even any ominous whispering.

"Is this place even trying?" he wonders idly.

"This is simply the lingering residue of Kressh. It's unlikely any ritual was performed to amplify his after-death presence."

"Still. Three out of ten, would not recommend."

"And a good thing it is, too. I do not care at all for some of the other tombs."

"It's kinda weird for people to care so much what happens to their stuff after they die."

"You think so?"

"I mean, I'll be dead, won't I? People can take it, they can use it however they like—I guess I would prefer if my stuff were used, you know, usefully, but it's not like I can complain."

"That last part is where the difference lies. These Sith projected their will in life, and declined to let death change the habit."

"And why want to leave it, like, just sitting around? What's the point?"

"'I had this, and you did not. Remember my strength, and tremble.'"

"...wow. Petty."

"The psychology of the Sith Lord. So it goes."

Sigh. Moving on, then.

Further down the dark vaguely-ominous corridor, until they come to the grandest room so far. In the center, a large and ornately adorned sarcophagus with a life-sized figure in bas relief on the lid.

Ooh pretty. He cautiously starts approaching the sarcophagus.

It's obviously the source of the lingering dark presence in the area.

Obviously. So the dead dude is there...

Yep. Quite an impressive specimen, according to the carving.

"I'd appreciate it if these tombs stuck more to the facts and did less of the self-aggrandisement."

"You can learn quite a bit from what people say about themselves."

"Well, yes, sure, but not most straightforwardly about what actually happened."

"History is made of perspectives. 'What actually happened' is usually not as interesting."
