So I was talking to the Githyanki queen, but something didn’t sit right with me. She asked me to do something I’m pretty sure is bad, and she is seemingly communicating through a hologram or something. So I said “you’re a god. You do it.” And then pressed further, thinking it was a deception.

Nope. I got literally wished out of existence by an angry god. Lmao

    She’s still not really a god, she’s a lich with delusions of grandeur. She blew a real, actual, 9th level spell slot on that wish. (This is why the “I think a real god could kill whoever they want” line gets under her skin so much.)

      I think she’s technically a lesser power/quasi-divinity at this point, on similar to or slightly below the rank of one of the (post-Second Sundering) Dead Three. The fanatical worship of (some of) the Githyanki over her long (un)life have taken her already exceptional arcane power and brought it to the edge of godhood, where the rules that should apply to mortal spellcasters no longer hold. IIRC, she’s actively trying to achieve full godhood by enforcing her worship through her Inquisitors, with mixed results.

    I did not think this was a game where a dialogue option could get you killed, normally when I see those they are jokes added in by mods. So I kissed the Mindflayer thinking he would be a chaotic evil party member, or maybe I just have to fight him after being weakened a little, or maybe he would actually reward me with some rare item. And no to my surprise I just fell over dead, well lesson learned, if a dialogue option looks suicidally stupid and would only be taken by someone too dumb to live, the game operates on the principle of fuck around and find out.
