It's a while ago now, but on one occasion I met Marek and Lothander on the way to getting the Charts, but never went back to do the quest. It was ok, I didn't get poisoned. Though it's always hard to know if the time has elapsed.
I believe the trigger for the poison is the 2nd meeting with Lothander, so if he's dead the meeting never happens and the quest never starts. If I'm wrong then the Antidote won't help you and your screwed.
On another occasion I went to get the Sea Charts, and rather than risk getting into the Geas Quest, I used Invisibility to walk right passed the two of them. (Must have been in my solo game.)
