''' | '''Flaming Fist Marcus''' is NPC who is a former member of the [[Flaming Fist]], now turned into an elite agent of the [[Followers of the Absolute]]. | ||
{{SpoilerBox|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 than made here. | |||
''' | *Fight against Marcus and his [[Winged Horror|Winged Horrors]] who will focus on taking down [[Isobel]]. | ||
*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 put a huge divide with [[Jaheira]] and the [[Harpers]]. | |||
*'''If Isobel is defeated, the barrier protecting the [[Last Light Inn]] will fade, letting the shadow curse in. Everyone except Jaheira and your party will either die or become [[Shadow-Cursed Undead]]. This will make multiple questlines prematurely end along with losing merchants, some of who will no longer be active in [[Act 3]].}} | |||

'''Marcus''' is an incredibly aggressive great weapon fighter, who in the case of the encounter at the [[Last Light Inn]] will focus on [[Isobel]] in trying to knock her out. The fight there can end very quickly if he and the [[Winged Horror|Winged Horrors]] act first on [[Initiative]]. Being a dedicated [[Fighter]], his extra attack along with a bonus attack he can gain through a [[Critical Hit]] thanks to his Great Weapon Master passive. | '''Marcus''' is an incredibly aggressive great weapon fighter, who in the case of the encounter at the [[Last Light Inn]] will focus on [[Isobel]] in trying to knock her out.

The key to besting '''Marcus''' is preparation. During the conversation with him, shifting your party around to avoid getting caught up in his Vampiric Shout is a good way to avoid losing [[Concentration]] on a spell. An easy approach is to use [[Banishment]] to put him out of the fight, sparing Isobel his wrath and allowing the group to clear out the [[Winged Horror|Winged Horrors]]. By the time the spell ends, he will be no match against the full party and the Inn's defenders. | The key to besting '''Marcus''' is preparation.
