When the party reaches [[Last Light Inn]], [[Jaheira]] is instantly wary of them and summons vines to stop them. She believes the party are True Souls. If Mol didn't survive [[Act One]], Marcus comes to vouch for the party, telepathically revealing that he is an Absolutist spy.

Revealing that Marcus is tadpoled to Jaheira will trigger a fight against him. He will have a [[Initiative#Surprised|surprise round]] where he will summon 13 [[Crawling Claw]]s and then disappear, returning to Moonrise Towers. However, he can be defeated here if members of the party have the passive {{SAI|Alert}} or drank an {{SmRarityItem|Elixir of Vigilance}}. Killing him here will prevent the abduction attempt when you first talk to [[Isobel]].

If Marcus wasn't killed earlier, when the party first goes to speak with Isobel on how to traverse through the Shadow-Cursed Lands, Marcus will show up on the balcony much to her shock. He will quickly reveal his loyalty to the Absolute and [[Ketheric Thorm]], urging Isobel to come with him to see the warlord. A critical choice is then made here:

* Fight against Marcus and his [[Winged Horror|Winged Horrors]] who will focus on taking down Isobel.
The party must make a critical choice here:
* Turn against Isobel, making Marcus and the Winged Horrors allies. The rest of the inn won't be hostile at first though. Doing so will cause a huge divide with Jaheira and the [[Harpers]].
* Fighting against Marcus and his [[Winged Horror|Winged Horrors]] who will focus on taking down Isobel.
** If Isobel is defeated, the barrier protecting the Last Light Inn will fade, letting the shadow curse in. Everyone except Jaheira and the party will either die or become [[Shadow-Cursed Undead (Condition)|Shadow-Cursed Undead]]. This will make multiple questlines end prematurely, and cause the party to lose traders, some of whom will no longer appear in [[Act Three]].

Marcus can be spoken to with {{SAI|Speak with Dead}}. When asked if he left anything valuable behind, he will answer with ''"Outside the inn... buried near graveyard... she found out..."''. Moving to the graveyard adjacent to Last Light Inn, there is a Flaming Fist's corpse {{Coords|-3|215}} directly east of the open graves where the {{SmRarityItem|Shield of Scorching Reprisal}} can be looted from. This implies that the dead [[Gnome]] Flaming Fist discovered Marcus' treachery, but was killed by him before she could warn the rest of the Fists and Harpers. A successful [[Perception]] check is needed to detect the rubble, and a subsequent [[Strength]] check is required to smash the rubble to find the body.
