Synopsis:
Jaheira and Isobel (and the player) reunite after the fight with Marcus. Jaheira is relieved Isobel hasn't been captured. Isobel debriefs with player and sends them off on their main mission for Act 2. Both of them will be in heightened mood, having just survived a fierce battle- not totally out of breath, but still recovering from the immediate battle.
How to trigger:
Trigger Marcus' kidnapping scene in Act 2 by talking to Isobel without having first killed Marcus. Killcombat, then wait for Jaheira to find Isobel.

24. Player: Why me?
167. : Your future is our future. Stop Ketheric, and you may find the cure to that parasite in your head.
108. Player: I haven't agreed to do anything.
68. : Our fates are entwined - more than you may realise. Ketheric's cult put that parasite in your head. There's no obscenity too vile for him.
76. : General Ketheric Thorm. Remember that name. He's the leader of the Absolutists.
99. : He was a Sharran, once - took to building an army of Dark Justiciars beneath this very village. Alongside the local druids, we made it our business to see him deposed - dead and buried.
165. : But he's returned. Not only does General Ketheric Thorm live again, it seems he is no longer mortal. He has become, in fact, invincible.GLO_SCL_Ketheric_State_PlayerKnowsKethericHistory

158. : We met him on the road here - commanding the army of the Absolute. I put an arrow through his eye myself, only to watch him pluck it out like a splinter.
124. : A man does not return from the dead and becomes impervious to arrows out of nowhere. There is magic at work - strong, arcane, and most likely necromantic.
0. : He healed right in front of me, and chased us into the shadows. We took shelter here, and were considering a full retreat - until you came along.
116. : I don't know why he's waiting, why he's not marching his army west as we speak, but as long as he remains, there's still a chance.
87. : You are that chance. Protected by your artefact, you can infiltrate Moonrise Towers, posing as a True Soul.
112. : Discover the source of his invulnerability. Make him mortal, so we can make him bleed. Good luck.devnoteHAV_Jaheira_State_MissionGiven
