The Lion's Den
After reporting to Yarah and admitting you still don't know the identity of the traitor, Ufa will appear through the door.
:Ufa the Red Asp: "You are mistaken, friend."
:Yarah: ''"Master Ufa! You're truly alive!"
:Ufa the Red Asp: "Did I not send word with our friend here?"

He can be the spoken to and asked some questions.
:"I spoke to the captain after you left. He was more than willing to help, after the good turn you gave him.  The traitor is well within our grasp."
:Who are you?
:"Don't you recognize the old beggar without his rags? I've been following you for quite a while! Even my own followers suspected nothing.  Dhakir and Qismah will never forget what you've done for them."

A Thirst for Revolution
Afterwards he is ready to enlist you to find and capture the traitor. "The tides can still turn to our favor!"

Speak with him to begin the quest.
:"You've been a great boon to the resistance. Once we have the traitor in our hands, we'll have all the pieces we need to assault the Seventh Legion."
:How will we find the traitor, then?
:"The captain's men know how to find him, but I don't know where these men are, or if they're still among the living. They won't work with me, but may consider you an ally. You must find them before the Imperials do."
:How will I do that?
:"Seek Aishah, Nahsirih, and Runid. Their peril is our opportunity. I'm sure they'd rather work with us than with the Imperials. Ask about, search houses, but above all, be discreet."
:I'll find them.

Before you leave to find the guards, Ufa can be spoken with again.
:"Captain Dhakir's men are very loyal. Their information resources are almost as good as mine. They know I seek them, but not why. And they will have heard of you, and how you helped their leader. Fortuitous indeed, as it will bring them to light."

After finding Niha and hearing her refuse to help for fear of her own life, Ufa will appear to convince her.
:Ufa the Red Asp: "You have little choice, Niha."
:Niha: "Ufa! You're alive?"

He can then be spoken to:
:"Niha will help, for the good of us all.  But I understand her fear. We must be cautious on her watch. If anyone suspected her involvement, that would mean her end."
:So what do we do?
:"We still need information from the wretch. Fortunately, I know of a simple way to extract it. Across the way lies the Mages Guild. Talk to a man named Razin. Ask him for his specialty; it's a potent sedative only he makes."
:Then what?
:"I'll set a trap for Maradem, with my dear Niha's help. Once you have the powder, take it to The Drowsy Owl Inn upon the hill and get the rest of the details from her. You can see your destination from here, if you need to get your bearings."

If you speak to him again, he says:
:"We need to work quickly. Who knows when the Imperials will decide to execute the grandeya?"

Once you have drugged Maradem and questioned him, Ufa will show up to taunt him.
:Ufa the Red Asp: "Bleating like a cut lamb, I see."
:Maradem: "Ufa! I thought you were dead!"
:Ufa the Red Asp: "That was the intent. Get the key off his body and leave him."''

If you speak with him again, he'll say:
:''"Get the key off his body. That's all he's good for now. And don't worry, he won't remember a thing when he wakes. If he wakes."

Once the Grandeya is rescued and the resistance fighters signaled, Ufa will be waiting for you on the palace steps. 
:"It's time!"
:Where are the rest of your people?
:"They ready themselves for battle. We will hold the palace while you take out the Imperial within. We must all move quickly."
:What about the grandeya?
:"She is in no shape to fight. I can't imagine what tortures she must have endured under the Imperials' reign. You are our symbol, friend. Our symbol of freedom."''

The Shifting Sands of Fate
He's eager to clear the Imperials out of town, as he says, "Our moment is at hand."

Speak with him for your next task.
:''"There's no time to waste. We must strike now, or the Imperials will have time to make preparations."
:What do I do?
:"Go inside and slay that Imperial Sadas Secundus like the dog she is. We don't know what kind of forces she has with her.  We're counting on you."
:I won't let you down.

If you speak to him before entering the palace, he says:
:"Every moment that passes gives the Imperials time to regroup. Without their leader, they'll lose their focus and be easy prey for my people."

Once Sadas Secundus is killed, you can speak with Ufa outside.
:"You've done it! The Seventh Legion will be our prey."
:Is Hallin's Stand free?
:"The Imperials had no chance. We took them by storm, and without their leader, they had nowhere to turn. What few are left will fall easily.  You were the lynchpin for it all!"
:I had your help.
:"The grandeya will have something to say too, no doubt. Here she comes now."

Once The Shifting Sands of Fate is completed, he will thank you.
:"Hallin's Stand won't forget you, no matter how long the years. And neither will I."''
