The dark temple isn't on this planet.

But does Revan know that?

He knows there's nothing on Korriban that would qualify as a Dark Temple. His knowledge of Korriban is several centuries outdated, though.

"Not unless you're planning to sell any of this." You don't think Kory should be told about your findings, especially since you're not sure what to make of them yet. "Hip's better?"
"Yes, and I still have some spare medpacs. Look... What shall we tell to the Overseer?"
"The truth — that we completed the trial."
"But we weren't supposed to kill Spindrall! Harkun will never believe that we fought in self-defense, and he'll do anything to clear a path for the pureblood!"
"It's not like I had much of a choice, okay!" Alright, when put like that, the situation looked really sour. "Spindrall got crazy and had to be put down, there is nothing we can do about that. And even if we cover this up, Overseer will frame us anyway."
"Then what shall we do?"
"Confront Harkun. Directly. That's the only thing we can do right now that won't get us busted at once, and the sooner we do it, the better."
"We're acolytes, and he is Sith."
"He's also an overconfident prick that doesn't expect anything serious from "scum" like us. We can take him down together, Kory, you and me."
"Oh... You'd better be worthy of your name then, Revan. Anything less will get us killed."
***
You and Kory walk into the chambers, where most of the acolytes have already gathered in front of the Overseer. He looks unsurprisingly disdainful.
"Slaves." He turns towards you as others watch in fear. "Since you're late, I assume you have failed?"
"On the contrary, we did perfectly well. We have passed the trial of blood that Spindrall gave us. Spindrall himself didn't pass it, however."
"What did you just say?" Harkun instantly drops all pretense. "Repeat."
"Spindrall is dead." Kory comes in, as you have planned. "He attacked us after we killed all of his acolytes, but we proved stronger..."
"We?" Harkun smiles. "No-no, acolyte Kory, a spineless piece of dirt like you would never best the trial, let alone Spindrall himself. But your friend is something different. He would be the one to dare defying our traditions and killing a Sith much purer than himself. And he would be the one to face punishment for such a crime."
Secret roll: 10
A lightning hits you in the back before you can answer. Someone screams, and then another hits you in the chest. You fall to the ground, shocked and paralyzed, as blood from your bitten tongue fills the mouth.
"I know what you have thought — «All Sith backstab and fight each other! I can do this too!» There is one little difference, however." Recites Harkon as you lie on the floor, twitching. "You are not Sith and you never will be one."
"Can I kill him, Overseer?"
"Not now, Ffon. Zap him again if he tries something stupid. By the way, acolytes — take a good look at Ffon. Ffon comes from a noble bloodline. His ancestors have long served the Emperor and the Dark Side. His blood has more Force in it than in all of you combined, even with this scumbag taken into account." Harkun slams your hand with his shoe. "We are not Jedi, who give a saber to every idiot that can hold it properly. Our gift of the Dark Side has been refined and strengthened for generations, and our veins hold legacy of the first Sith that were born on Korriban. Your veins hold nothing buuaaAAAAAAAGH AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Through red mist you can see Harkun, shouting like a madman as he's set on fire that consumes his body with unnatural speed. Someone shouts curses behind you while other acolytes literally jump out of harm's way as the burning Overseer rushes past them, to the Academy's corridors and forth. Something explodes with a bang, and Ffon falls near you, his disfigured face winding up right in front of yours. Last thing you see before blacking out is some white ooze dripping from his socket.
Last thing you sense before blacking out is a disturbance in the Force coming from Kory.

How the hell did they get the drop on us with our precog?

Yes force users have precog.
Unless your implying that its for some reason not canon for this.
Ah, you mean this?
Yes, I do remember that Revan was a master of Precognition in canon, but the way I see it, he just didn't menage to react to both Ffon and Harkun. Besides, I rolled 10 on the damage dice, results had to be appropriate.

The dice are everything then?
Edit- Wait did you use a modifier?

When it comes to confrontations — yes. And no, I didn't use any modifiers since Revan spent two hours at most in his new body, and since he spent the previous three centuries basically being Emperor's Barbie, he'll have a lot to figure out.
Ridicilous. Even after being the Emperors bitch for 3 centuries he still ends up as a beastly demigod that solos the jedi grandmaster, several sith councilors at the same time etc.
A whole new and fresh body should've been deliciously empowering. Instead we get a rant about the glory of inbred nobles. Sigh. It was a nice speech by the way, really liked the nazi / ubermensch vibes it gave off.

The matter of Revan's strength is... complicated, mostly due to the gameplay of SWTOR. I actually have an in-universe explanation for how it takes four elite operatives to defeat him on the first try and sixteen on the second, but since we're just in the prologue, it will have to wait.
Oh, and thanks, did you like the "AAAAAAGH" part? It's my favourite, to be honest.

Prologue VII, One Step From Darkness
"Do you really think it is a good idea?"
"No, to be honest. But I don't have anything better."
Carth takes a sip of brandy. He's exhausted, you can feel that — and he can feel that you can feel. A shame he refused the training.
"So, let me recap — you are going all alone to the fringe of the galaxy to personally combat a fuckton of Sith without any means of retreat."
"I'll take T3."
"Yeah, that surely evens the odds."
"Carth... If we bring the whole Republic fleet and Jedi Order to the unknown regions, they will respond with full force and Force. And since both Republic fleet and Jedi Order aren't anywhere near recovery, you can figure how well it would go."
"And if they trap you on your one-man crusade, won't they know that their cover is blown?"
"It's not about cover, Carth. If they wanted to conquer the Republic, they would do that right after we defeated Malak. They have something more complicated in mind, and I must find out what exactly."
"But--"
"And I'm not risking any of you. Republic needs you, Carth. Bastilla... Bastilla and Juhani are needed by the Jedi. Candarous is needed by the Mandalorians. Mission and Zaalbar had enough with the war. Jolee had enough with everything."
"And HK-47?"
"Well, he will do, but I'll have to give him a self-destruction protocol. If Sith reverse engineer him, then the galaxy is surely doomed!"
You both chuckle.
"Oh, he seems to be awakening. You were right, my Lord, he was very quick to recover."
"Um, Carth?"
"Force him?" Carth looks confused himself. "Well, if you insist..."
***
You awaken, dazzled and shocked, as your sight goes all blurry. The Force is still with you, so you scan your surroundings by instinct. Immediately you feel the Dark Side near you — there's a powerful Sith near you. But what do you feel exactly?
[] Being watched. Sith itself is examining you, trying to look into your soul. What's worse, you don't know how successful he was before you awoke.
[] Rot. Whoever standing near you is poisoned by the Dark Side, and poisoned so deeply the flesh itself decays.
[] Fear. Sith is emanating terror with his very essence, sendind chills down your spine, and his control of the Force surpasses everything you have ever seen.
========================
And here the fun starts.
