   My answers consitute rather serious spoilers.  Don't read this if you
don't want to see them...

   The marks are all found in various dungeons (there are red-hot metal bars
which you touch to get the mark...).

   I'm afraid I can't remember what the problem is that you're talking about.
When you go through the whirlpool aren't you then inside?  Maybe you need a
key or two, but I don't think there's anything else (I could be wrong...).
   The area past the whirlpool is vital to winning the game as this is where
you go to get your attributes raised (you need gold for this, as I recall...).

>3. What are Cards?  What are they used for?  How do you get them?

   The Cards are needed to win the game.  They are also obtained beyond the
whirlpool.

   Yes, I'm sure lots of people have maps...

   There are healing and poison-curing fountains in most dungeons.

   Not to my knowledge.

>7. How do you raise your ability?

   See #2.

>8. Can you die of old age?

   I never did.

   Not to my knowledge.

   Not to my knowledge.
