How to Defeat Marcus
This fight is extremely difficult to win first time blind unless:
- A) You are an expert player, and also
- B) You are sufficiently lucky with your initiative rolls
It is more than possible for Marcus and his adds to take down Isobel against any defence if the initiative rolls go against you.
There are a number of strategies expert players can use to save Isobel playing this encounter “straight”. However if you’ve already lost your first attempt, and given it is seriously disadvantageous to allow Marcus to abduct Isobel, then I would recommend using 20/20 hindsight to make this fight easy.
Unless that is you want to spend some time to use this fight to study expert tactics.
Again there are several ways to do that but the simplest by far is to block the doors to Isobel’s room before you speak to her. That way you just have to deal with Marcus himself and the two gargoyles that come down through a hole in the roof.
Once you’ve dealt with those three Isobel with be safe and dealing with the remaining gargoyles is a simple matter.
