Upon reaching [[Last Light Inn]], {{CharLink|Jaheira}} is instantly wary of them and summons vines to stop the player character. She believes the party are [[True Souls]]. If Mol not survives [[Act One]], Marcus comes to vouch for the party, telepathically revealing that he is an Absolutist spy. | |||
Revealing that Marcus is tadpoled to Jaheira | Revealing that Marcus is tadpoled to Jaheira triggers a fight against him. He has a [[Initiative#Surprised|surprise round]] where he summons 13 [[Crawling Claw]]s and then disappears, returning to Moonrise Towers. However, he can be defeated here if the party members have the passive {{SAI|Alert}} or drank an {{SmRarityItem|Elixir of Vigilance}}. Killing him here prevents the abduction attempt when first talking to {{CharLink|Isobel}}. | ||
If Marcus | If Marcus is not killed earlier, he appears when first speaking with Isobel. He quickly reveals his loyalty to the Absolute and {{CharLink|Ketheric Thorm}}, urging Isobel to come with him to see the warlord. | ||

If Isobel is | If Isobel is not saved, the barrier protecting the Last Light Inn fades, letting the shadow curse in. Everyone except Jaheira and the party either dies or become [[Shadow-Cursed Undead (Condition)|Shadow-Cursed Undead]]. This results in multiple questlines ending prematurely, and causes the party to lose the traders ({{CharLink|Dammon}}, {{CharLink|Mattis}} and {{CharLink|Talli}}), who do not appear in [[Act Two]] and [[Act Three]] anymore. | ||
Marcus can be spoken to with {{SAI|Speak with Dead}}. When asked if he left anything valuable behind, he | Marcus can be spoken to with {{SAI|Speak with Dead}}. When asked if he left anything valuable behind, he answers with ''"Outside the inn... buried near graveyard... she found out..."''. Moving to the graveyard adjacent to Last Light Inn, there is a [[Flaming Fist|Flaming Fist's]] corpse directly east of the open graves at {{Coords|-3|215}}, 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 {{Skill|Perception}} check is needed to detect the rubble, and a subsequent {{Ability|Strength}} check is required to smash the rubble to find the body. | ||
If Marcus is killed while attempting to kidnap Isobel, his body can later be found in the grass to the north of the Last Light Inn, seemingly dumped there unceremoniously during the cleanup after the attack. | If Marcus is killed while attempting to kidnap Isobel, his body can later be found in the grass to the north of the Last Light Inn, seemingly dumped there unceremoniously during the cleanup after the attack. | ||
