In Which Our Hero learns from Elsa whom she believes is behind the problems in Silmaria; and discovers who drugged the Wizards and engages in some casual crossdressing.
After talking with Erana for a while (and doing a little behind-the-scenes grinding to get his vitality back up to at least early Shadows of Darkness levels), Marcus heads back to Silmaria and crashes at the Inn. Elsa wakes him in the middle of the night to talk to him about her suspicions regarding who is responsible for the problems. She points the finger at Minos, her sponsor, but has no real proof. Guess we'll need to be on the lookout.
Next morning Marcus has a sudden inkling to buy a magic spear, and then discusses Atlantis at length with the Famous Adventurer, who helpfully reveals the sunken city's location and some tricks for getting around once inside. Now all we're missing is some scuba equipment.
Marcus decides to pay Science Island one last visit. But hey, something really strange is going on. It seems Dr. Praetorus admits to being the one who drugged the wizards! A damning confession if ever there was one.
The next step on this disjointed adventure is walking into a trap. Gnome Ann confronts Marcus when he comes in that night and asks him if he'll do her a favor, without telling him what it is. He agrees - what is a Paladin to do? - and finds himself dressed as a woman, performing a belly dance.
Welp.
Next morning, though, it's down to serious business as Marcus takes his balloon and flies to Atlantis, where he discovers an ancient-looking sewer tunnel that may or may not lead to the lost city. We'll find out next time...
