Okay, so this is the area where you have to open the big gate using the button? It's so long ago, I can't remember. Do you find the first tablet there? If so, he could give a warning like this: "You need to enter the area through that gate, otherwise some internal pathway might be blocked." Or is there a better name for this area that could be used? Also which fort is he talking about? The one were you get betrayed in?
