Speak to Seh-run, a strange one eyed creature, in the Tomb of Naga Sadow, near the entrance:
Seh-run: Who is this? Who comes speaking to Seh-run? Is it Acolyte? Is is Sith?
Your dialog options are:
That's correct
You're a strange creature
What a freak
Try the second option to ask the creature exactly what he is. Seh-run does not know its kind. Only its place. Seh-run once lived in the Academy - was once like you! Seh-run feasted on the scraps of the beast pens... until the overseer sent it away to starve.
Dialog wheel pops up:
I can Sympathize
Wait. Slow down...
You should be angry
Try the third option. One of the Overseers abandoned it. It must want revenge. Seh-run does indeed want revenge, but is hunger is greater. When Seh-run was small and weak, it lived in the darkness - ate the things that crawled and hid from Sith. Then Overseer Prithor found Seh-run. Brought bones and meat for Seh-run! Made Seh-run stronger. Much better than supping on worms and rats.
Your dialog wheel now shows:
Stronger?
How'd you end up here?
How pathetic
Choose the first option to ask it what it means by "Stronger". You learn that when Prithor fed Seh-run, it became more powerful. It became faster and stronger. More and more every time. But not anymore. Overseer Prithor stopped feeding Seh-run special meals. Kept Seh-run from getting stronger, and sent it away. Seh-run hid here, in the caves. But Seh-run has no peace, monsters hurt it, and Seh-run is too weak to hurt monsters back. Seh-run needs strength from Prithor's meat, needs power.
You can reply any of the following:
Why would the overseer help?
I could assist
Too bad.
Offer to help it. He asks you to locate Overseer Prithor in the beast pens. He will have scraps for Seh-run. Find him, and Seh-run will reward you.
Your task is to speak to Overseer Prithor. When you find the overseer, he seems impatient. He is training slaves to feed the beasts, and does not have time to chat. You can tell him:
I met an alien in the tombs.
And you are?
Someone sent me for "food".
Try the third option to tell him about the "special meal" Seh-run requested. Pritor tells you that Seh-run was close to him when he was an acolyte, it helped him survive his trials, it traveled places he couldn't, told him everything it heard and saw. It had been living off Vermin before Prithor came along. The Overseer figured out a way to make it healthier, stronger.
Your choices now are:
Tell me about the creature.
Go on.
It's pathetic
Choose the second option. You learn that the meals weren't just beast fodder - but rather the corpses of the Academy's failures, the bones and blood of dead acolytes. Feeding on their energy after death, it grew exponentially more powerful with every meal and became strong in the dark side. That is why he sent it away. The Overseer thinks you must act:
Oh?
I'd rather help it
I'll destroy Seh-run
if you offer to help it, Overseer Prithon is concerned that Seh-run will turn against you. You must poison Seh-run. Before the overseer sent Seh-run away, he developed a powerful toxin, but did not have the heard to use it. It will cause Seh-run to lose its powers, and it won't survive much longer after that.
Your choices are:
I'm feeding it (DARK)
Seh-run can't continue (LIGHT)
The first option gives you 50 dark points and Seh-run agrees to give you the meal. Return to Seh-run and give it the meat. Seh-run feels the power again. It thanks you, and will think of you in the next feeding.
The second option gives you 50 light points, and Prithor gives you the poisoned meat. Seh-run eats the meat and appears weakened. It realizes the meat is not making it stronger, and is upset and asks you to leave.
You get some braces as a reward. This concludes the mission "Creeping Hunger"
