If | 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.

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. He can however be defeated here if members of the party have the passive [[Alert]] or have the condition [[Elixir of Vigilance]].
