Hopefully someone else can help with the two that I've got no information
for.  In my experience (HQ-1 in the ninth turn), there are really no
"bad" markers.  One marker poisoned me, but the same marker also gave me
5000 gold. Other markers have bad side effects (paralyzation, draining,
berserk status), but usually you get something in exchange for the bad
effects.  Be sure to grab them as fast as you can!!  Especially those
juicy ones like the +1 action and +4 Brawn.

Good luck
