<p>The Lord Constable is an imposing man with a proud and noble countenance. At your approach he removes a white leather gauntlet and welcomes you with a formal salute.</p>
- <p><quote>Greetings, my Lord,</quote> he says, his voice deep and resonant. <quote>Welcome to Garthen. I am Nathor, Lord Constable of the Royal Citadel. It would be an honour if you would allow me to escort you and Lord Ardan to an audience with Queen Evaine.</quote></p>

<p><quote>In the name of the gods!</quote> splutters Nathor, spilling liqueur down the front of his tunic. <quote>What was that?</quote></p>
<p>A knot of fear tightens in the pit of your stomach. <quote>A Kraan,</quote> you reply, recognizing at once the fell cry of this unwelcome creature.</p>
<p>You hurry to a window and see the large, bat-like Kraan silhouetted against the moon. A man-sized rider clings precariously to the creature<ch.apos/>s reptilian back as it swoops and soars among the hills and gullies.</p>
- <p><quote>You had best come away from the window, my Lord,</quote> replies an anxious Nathor, <quote>lest it detect your presence here.</quote></p>
+ <p><quote>You had best come away from the window, my lord,</quote> replies an anxious Nathor, <quote>lest it detect your presence here.</quote></p>
<p>You take heed of the Lord Constable<ch.apos/>s advice and retreat from the window. Furthermore, you use your Magnakai skill of Psi-screen to shield your mind in case the Kraan rider is able to employ psychic abilities to locate your presence.</p>
<p><quote>It is not the first time it has come,</quote> says Rasbarin. <quote>Every night for the past ten days we<ch.apos/>ve heard it circling the hills. Sometimes there is more than one of its kind.</quote> He suggests that you bunk in the cellar of the monastery where you may be safer from detection, and you accept his offer gladly.</p>

<p>You give the gruff-looking fellow a slight bow and he nods his head in response, albeit begrudgingly.</p>
<p><quote>We are returning from a visit to my cousin<ch.apos/>s estate. We were hoping to reach Kalma by sunset, but we were delayed by bandits,</quote> she says, almost apologetically.</p>
<p><quote>We made <ch.apos/>em pay dearly for wastin<ch.apos/> our time, though,</quote> adds Dorst, with quiet menace.</p>
- <p><quote>It appears that we shall now have to encamp here in the hills this night,</quote> says the Baroness. <quote>Perhaps you would care to join us, my Lord? I would feel so much safer if you did.</quote></p>

<p>Despite Dorst<ch.apos/>s cutting glances, you agree to the Baroness<ch.apos/>s proposal. Then you produce the six trout that you caught earlier and offer them to her as a gift.</p>
<p><quote>Why, thank you,</quote> she says, with a wide smile. <quote>They look<ch.ellips/>delicious.</quote></p>

<p>The smooth dark hair and noble countenance of the Lord Constable are oddly familiar, reminding you of someone whose name momentarily you cannot recall.</p>
- <p><quote>Welcome, my Lord,</quote> he says, with a respectful salute. <quote>I am Nathor, Lord Constable of the Royal Citadel. My troop would be honoured to escort you to an audience with Queen Evaine.</quote></p>

<p><quote>Pray tell me, Lord Constable,</quote> you reply, <quote>have we not met before?</quote></p>
<p><quote>No, sire. I venture you must be thinking of my late brother<ch.emdash/>Adamas. He held the office of Lord Constable afore me. I understand that you and he once fought together in the war <ch.apos/>gainst the Darklords. He spoke most highly of your courage. Sadly, though, he is no longer with us. He died valiantly during the great siege of Torgar.</quote></p>
