And hey look, you're both right.
Canderous is the only one of the 'Illusionary' NPCs I like using--he's basically a Branwen that is a better fit with the Gauntlets of Dexterity, and he doesn't complain when your Rep. gets too high.
To get any (or all) of the Illusionary NPCs, go down to the cellar with them and start kicking gibberling butt. Kick them all off your party. Talk to Obe, and say you want to go back outside. IMMEDIATELY pause the game--you've got a split second before you actually get teleported outside, and in that split second you have to talk to one of the NPCs, and have them re-join your party. (Whoever you talk to will be stripped of all their items, so drop them on the ground first.) Then BAM--you're outside, and they're still inside....and then can recruit all the other NPCs for you. Now (quickly) go talk to Gorion, and after the fight with the Armored Figure, all the Illusionary NPCs are in your group.
