     These answers are all from the Apple II version.  I expect
the two versions to be basically the same.

      There are 4 marks (Mark of Kings, Mark of Force, Mark of Fire,
  Mark of (Snakes?)).  They are located on the bottom levels of dungeons,
  except that the Mark of Kings can be found on level 1 or 2 (I think in
  a dungeon SE of Grey).

      If you look around, you'll find 4 temples (also known as shrines).
If you (E)nter one, the computer will ask you which player enters; this
player can get his ability scores raised for 100 gold/point (each shrine
handles a different ability score).

     There are 4 cards; one is hidden in each shrine.  You will find them
useful in the endgame.

      As far as I know, none of these things can happen within Exodus III.
