How to get in the goblin camp?

The goblin camp is located in the western part of the Wilderness. Before you can enter, you need to go through a checkpoint. If you are playing as a dark elf or have freed Sazza from the Druid Grove, the guards will let you through without any problems. Otherwise, you need to use the illithid dialogue option or pass an Intimidation check (DC 15). You can also pass a Nature check (DC 10) or a Persuasion check (DC 15), after which you can smear your face with dung to enter the camp. If you do not use any of these options, you will have to kill the guards.

Should you trust the priestess Gut?

The priestess Gut is located in the inner part of the camp, in an abandoned temple of Selune. Entering openly requires another illithid dialogue option, a Detect Thoughts spell, or a skill check (Intimidation or Deception, DC 15). When you talk to Gut, she will offer to brand you with the Brand of the Absolute. The brand is a minor, permanent buff that unlocks additional dialogue options with followers of the Absolute and grants extra effects to certain magical items you find in the first act.

If you ask Gut for help in curing the parasite in your head, she will demand that you follow her to her private chapel. However, only you can enter, the rest of the party must stay outside. If you don't want to split up, you can close the doors leading outside and kill her when she is alone - do this before her turn comes, and no one should notice. If you agree to stay with her alone, Gut will offer you a healing potion.

1. If you refuse to drink the potion, Gut will attack you. Eliminate Gut as quickly as possible - she is not a dangerous opponent, but she will try to call for reinforcements at the first opportunity, which will unnecessarily complicate the fight. You can also cast a Silence spell on her to prevent her from calling for reinforcements.
2. If you drink the potion, you will lose consciousness and wake up shackled in a cell. You can escape through one of several skill checks and fight Gut, but contrary to appearances, the best option is to do nothing - if you decide not to escape or fail to do so, Korilla, an agent of the devil Raphael, will come to your aid. She will automatically kill Gut and then free you. If you are playing as any type of elf, the potion will not work and will immediately lead to a fight.

Although the priestess Gut will turn out to be a false lead and has no cure for your ailment, going with her to the chapel is worth your time - with a bit of luck, you can discreetly kill her, without having to fight the rest of the camp. Gut is one of the three goblin leaders whose elimination is required to save the residents of the Grove, as well as the archdruid Halsin.
