If tieflings were not saved in 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 many [[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 {{cond|Elixir of Vigilance}}. | |||
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. | 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.
