Quite a few powers can knock people prone, you could also use it when someone gets knocked over by some environmental effect (the boat crashes into the pier, you are all knocked prone!). Mechanically if you're prone you grant combat advantage, etc. It can actually be advantageous to be prone if the enemy is shooting ranged attacks at you. A character can use a minor action to fall prone, it takes a move action to stand up again.Marked is a special condition that is used to allow Defenders to force an opponent to focus on them. If a creature is marked it has a -2 to all attack rolls against anyone except the character that marked it. As far as what it means in-game is not really strictly defined. Maybe the fighter taunts the orc, or maybe he is really good at pressing his attacks so that its hard for the orc to turn and deal with someone else instead. You can interpret it different ways in different situations.</blockquote>
