[Theoretically, Lilias could continue to keep the illusion in place for an hour or more, if she was dedicated to the task and didn’t move more than a few hundred feet away, but even total dullards will begin to see through a solely-visual illusion sooner rather than later. Given that she cannot run or cast any other spells while focusing half her attention on the cage, she’ll need to drop the illusion if any locals show up to menace them regardless.
A rough croak from her familiar makes Lilias glance back to see that one of the villagers has already stepped through the thorns, and is now trying to persuade his fellows to follow suit. For now she keeps the illusion in place, but she suspects the need for it will evaporate sooner rather than later. Best they keep making for the woods, and hope the villagers care too much about their blockade to send more than a handful of people after them.]
Let’s hope we don’t have to wade through crowds like that during the actual engagement with the kaiju.
[That would complicate things quickly—not to mention introduce a lot of collateral.]
