He then asks for his son's diary, which you have. When you tell him that Casus was killed by Kath Hounds, he seems surprised, because he was certain that the Matales were to blame. Once inside, you will talk with Nurik, Casus' father. When you tell him this, the droid will let you inside immediately so that you may talk to the head of the Sandral household. Tell the droid, when he asks what you're doing here, that Casus is dead. Once you get to the Sandral Estate (which is easy to find, it's south on the Sandral Grounds), go to the front entrance of the mansion and talk to the droid there. Whatever you do, we now have to go to the Sandral Estate. You can tell him to up it to 2,000, not to give you anything, or accept the offer. Eventually, Ahlan Matale offers you 1,000 Credits (that you don't have to give to the Council, as he insinuates) to find his son. This angered the Sandral estate and he is hell-bent on the fact that the Sandrals kidnapped his boy because of this! The Sandrals and Matales are in constant dispute, it seems. He wasn't going to risk the reason (assassination, spying, et cetera) the droids were there for. He tells you the story of how Sandral droids were found on his property and destroyed by his own security droids. He'll instantly blame the Sandrals for kidnapping his son named Shen.

This will instantly prompt the droid to go get his master, and his master does come out to speak with you under heavy armed guard. When he asks what you're doing here, tell him you are here on behalf of the Jedi Council. Go to the front entrance of the Matale mansion and talk to the armed droid. Casus is the dead Sandral boy that Ahlan Matale was talking about when he interrupted a Jedi Council meeting when you became a Padawan! You'll need to take this information and go to the Matale's residence, which is located back the other way from where you found the corpse of young Casus. Search the corpse to find some goods, including Casus' diary. When you get to a valley on the right side, you'll find a corpse. You'll need to go to the far right end of the Matale Grounds, fighting off any remaining Kath Hounds. You'll need to go to the Matale Grounds, which can be accessed by walking past the Rodian selling weapons and taking the first right turn into the next area. After you begin the quest leave the Jedi Council building and go out to the fields beyond the city and Jedi Council area. This quest automatically begins when you speak to Zhar and Vandar after you complete the 3rd Jedi trial. You should know that much before getting underway. Side Quest: The Matale and Sandral Affair
