"my cover has quite clearly been blown"
well yes, this is what happens when you reveal your true form in the middle of a group of black dragons rather than somewhere more private or just whispering in your friends ear "hey I'm really a red dragon, thanks for helping me"it was blatantly obvious however that she wasn't really a goblin since neither of her quests involved exploding the dragons

If you are Alliance, be a little cautious when you're riding from Rheastrasza to Agmond's End. Bloodwatcher Point is right in the path and if you get a little too close the Reliquary Overseer guards will take you down, hard and posthaste. They seem to have an absolutely insane (40+ yards) detection range (even against stealthed mid-40s), probably because they're supposed to go after the buzzards that fly around the area.
Whatever the reason, the end result is the same: "Oh what's this camp up ahead..." -- *dead*. Run back and resurrect far away. "Wow that guy smashed my face..." -- *more dead*.
For People with Carbonite telling them his at 18.0 / 30.4.
First he is at Agmonds's End at 47.0 / 56.6.

What to do
Description
I made a calculated decision in revealing my identity to you, {name}. I needed you to trust me, but I can no longer stay here in Lethlor Ravine, as my cover has quite clearly been blown. You may be able to slip away unnoticed, however. Here, take the results of our research, and bring them west. At Agmond's End, you will find a gnome who knows what to do with these samples. Hurry, {name}! You mustn't loiter here any longer than necessary!

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rhea Revealed
As I hinted earlier, I am no ordinary goblin. You may have already guessed my true identity. Allow me to show you my true form. As you have proven yourself trustworthy, I will also share with you the details of my plan.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Troggish Troubles
I'll need some time to analyze these samples, as well as a break from this trogg-shooting duty. Go man one of my turrets and take out as many troggs as you can. I'll be here studying.
