<strong>GM Response to Aramis:</strong><br/><br/>The man was indeed Matreous, for you could recognize him from anywhere.  He was staring up at the staircase, so deep in thought that he did not realize the arrival of the newcomers until Aramis spoke.<br/><br/>He turned to look at the group and said:<br/><br/>"Oh, young Aramis," he started,  "did you discover Fistandia's gate?  Hmm, so you have."
