Your strike team is faced with a cave deep into the barren rocky plateau of the island, Aytambawanchac. Within it lies the unknown Kauit. They have remained quiet so far, the supposed Farsight master evading notice until the embers of war had become ashes blown to the wind. How does your character, with or without their strike team, approach and handle encountering Kauit? Do they go in aiming to kill or capture? Do they negotiate with them, offer a chance to leave or ally? Or perhaps with some other scheme up their sleeve?

Information:

Kauit

The Ancient God of Time & Space. Kauit is a nonbinary Fosh Sith, one of the ‘False Gods’. More scholar and prophet than ruler or warrior, Kauit’s visions helped keep the False Gods’ reign secure for years until the others became too absorbed with their power and dismissed them, leading up to the inevitable overthrow centuries ago.

• Farsight & Precognition: The Oracle Seer! Little escapes Kauit’s awareness. Able to see what may be years in advance, they plan, act and adapt accordingly. Their interest is in their own survival as they chase the pursuit for knowledge. And they have no qualms sharing what fates lay in another’s future, just expect a play on words and the more obtuse the more they care little for the recipient.
• Cryptic Holocron: mysterious spheroid of metal etched with ancient writing. Inside, Kauit has recorded all the knowledge they had obtained on different Force usage and practices they encountered, as well as a multitude of their own theories on the Force’s capabilities. They treasure this far over any weapon, armour, or vain accessory. It earns its cryptid moniker due to not being recorded in code, but the word play of the Fosh leaving one to question its meaning.
• Ancient Academic: Highly intelligent, athletic, investigative with decent charm and deception. However, might and stamina are poor, as well as weapon skills — more reliant on Force abilities.
• They do not have any Caxqettes or Cultists and although the Tri’Aigul people are fiercely protective of their islands, they are not aware of Kauit’s awakening/aliveness.

Aytambawanchac

A barren plateau of an island North of the main three Tri’Aigul Islands, named after their people’s believed King of the spirits whom Kauit had acted as the voice of centuries ago, taking advantage of their tropical colored feathers relating to the spirit. Ancient stone sketches depicting the King and the other spirits, their tales, lead the pathway from the high cliff lined shores, over the rocky land to a large hole in the island referred to as the King’s Den in basic. A seemingly bottomless pit that opens up into a cavern deep within Aytambawanchac. This is where Kauit had once taken up residence and preached their visions from the mouth of, and where they still sit now waiting.
