Cecilia: I'll cast the illusion spell now.
Step 1 · 1 line
Cecilia: Alright. It's done.
Step 2 · 3 lines
Caelid: Goodness, what an unpleasant sight. The resemblance is uncanny.
Caelid: Now, time to infiltrate the fortress and gather information about Reda. Cecilia, will you be...
Cecilia: Don't worry about me. I'll observe the situation from here and slip away quietly.
Step 3 · 7 lines
Kobold Servant: Reda? Made Krall angry. Kobolds work so Krall not angry.
Kobold Servant: Kobolds must work. Krall angry. Krall scary.
Kobold Sentry: Didn't catch Reda. So Kobold got punished.
Kobold Sentry: Don't know now. Only the Krall angry. Kobolds scared.
Krall Combatant: Enough questions, Kobold, just stick to your work, krak! If we fail to guard the Command Post camp again, you're dead, krarak.
Krall Watcher: Why are you so interested in that Daeva? We're all on high alert because of that wretch, krak.
Krall Watcher: If you're going to the Command Post, make sure to read the Shift Instructions in that tent over there first, krak.

Krall Supporter: Hey, Kobold! Over here, krak.
Step 6 · 2 lines
Krall Supporter: You think I didn't notice you slacking, krak?
Krall Supporter: Hmm, you smell suspicious. *sniff* Aha! You're no Kobold, krak!
Step 9 · 2 lines
Caelid: Have you reached the Command Post? I'll begin the distraction, then.
Caelid: The sentries should have keys.
Step 11 · 4 lines
Caelid: You're not injured, ‹your name›? Did you find anything in the Command Post?
Caelid: We've found the Illusion Sanctum.
Caelid: It's in the collapsed ruins northeast of the Krall Command Post.
Caelid: Meet us there.
Turning in · 7 lines
Caelid: It's impressive enough just that you got here. You must be exhausted.
Caelid: ‹your name›, did you secure anything useful from the Command Post?
Ione: ‹your name›, those are the last remaining records of the Illusion Cavaliers.
Phernos: We need Kaisinel's Seal to enter the Illusion Oratory where Reda secluded herself.
Ione: Normally, the high priestess would be carrying the seal herself, but...
Caelid: If the Illusion Cavaliers took the relics to the Illusion Sanctum to stage a resistance, the seal is likely there.
Phernos: Reda would have tried to keep important items safe. I agree that Kaisinel's Seal can likely be found there.
When it is done
"We will resist until the very end." You transformed into a Kobold with Cecilia's illusion magic. After having its effectiveness confirmed, you slipped into the fortress ruins, where it quickly became apparent that Krall attention was focused on the command post. After cutting through the Krall and reaching the command post, you learned that Reda had made her last stand in the Illusion Oratory. Entering the Illusion Oratory required Kaisinel's Seal, and Phernos suspected that the seal would be found in the Illusion Sanctum, where the cavaliers had made their own last stand.
