It was a quiet morning on the Jedi planet of Yavin IV. The birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, and on this serene and peaceful day Aronas Vicar decided that it would be perfect to host a training mission. This was no classroom training session however, as only with practice could theory be fully realized. Instead, he had arranged for today to be something of a practical demonstration of ability, a chance for a small group of Padawans to stretch their legs and explore. It was a time of war, after all, and tensions were bound to rise while morale might be at an all-time low with the assault on a famed Jedi temple. This was a time to forget the woes of the Jedi and focus on self-improvement, the gradual betterment of one's own skills and talents.
For his part, Aronas believed in a certain "practice how you play" mentality, and so he was dressed in his Jedi Wanderer armor. He also brought along a small backpack of supplies in case the trip lasted longer than he meant it to, though he doubted either of these items would be necessary. This was a simple exploratory training session that would carry the team into the heart of the Yavin IV jungle, and along the way they would likely encounter the same obstacles that the garrison reported while hunting. Wild creatures, environmental hazards, and the like would be a perfect opportunity for the students to show their mettle in a semi-controlled setting. Of course, Aronas had also added a few...obstacles of his own for training purposes...
Just outside the Jedi temple, on the border of the jungle itself, Aronas met with the students he would be guiding through the jungles. "Padawans, today you will have an opportunity to stretch your legs and employ your skills. We will enter into the heart of this jungle and put the skills you have learned thus far to good use before returning to the Jedi Temple. I have prearranged a surprise or two that you should be prepared for, but what those are will have to wait until we are properly inside. Now then, is everyone ready?" Aronas smiled as he awaited the answer to his only slightly rhetorical question.
