Pooldripp the Zealous: You've slain the pretender! We knew in our hearts the god BOOOAL was false. But you - we see you. We know you by your true name... MAHKLOOMPAH!
Astarion: If they ask for a sacrifice, I'd suggest virgins. Young and hot-blooded.
Pooldripp the Zealous: What is to be your first commandment, oh great god?
Levis: Just keep doing what you're doing.
Pooldripp the Zealous: Our blood to fill your ocean, great Mahkloompah! Our bones to build your temple in the deep!
Pooldripp the Zealous: Our blood to fill your oceans, oh blessed BOOOAL! Our bones to build your temple in the deep!
Narrator: *A wave of devotion washes over you - with every surge, you feel a presence grow in response.*
BOOOAL: WORDS, PRIEST. PROMISES. YOUR GOD WANTS PROOF. WANTS BLOOD.
now we're playing d&d!!! of course there's a hidden cove with fish people worshiping a redcap disguised as a god of murder. of course.
as an aside, is there any special durge dialogue in here? obviously this is before you figure out you're bhaalspawn, but it seems like a missed opportunity to not hint at it if there isn't.
Pooldripp the Zealous: What is to be your first commandment, oh great god?
Kyvir: Perhaps you should study the teachings of my god.
Pooldripp the Zealous: Yes - yes! We will study this being who claims power over you, great Mahkloompah. So that, one day... we might destroy them.
Watch out, Bhaal. There's a small force of fish people out for your blood.
This is cute, though. Cute and maybe a little worrying. Kyvir told them to study the teachings of his god because he was just a little concerned that Bhaal might be angry with him for the whole "being worshipped as a god" thing, and now they're plotting Bhaal's downfall. Probably not super effectively, but still.
Pooldripp the Zealous: You've slain the pretender! We knew in our hearts the god BOOOAL was false. But you - we see you. We know you by your true name... MAHKLOOMPAH!
Lae'zel: The god to the fishes. A dream come true, is it?
Pooldripp the Zealous: What is to be your first commandment, oh great god?
Levis: Go out and build me an army.
Pooldripp the Zealous: We will spread word of Mahkloompah. Your glory will sing from ten thousand throats!
Pooldripp the Zealous: Our blood will fill your ocean, oh blessed BOOOAL! Our boned to build your temple in the deep!
Narrator: A wave of pure devotion washes over you - and with every surge, you feel a presence grow in response.
BOOOAL: WORDS. PRIEST. PROMISES. YOUR GOD WANTS PROOF. WANTS BLOOD.
Narrator: Intelligence (Nature): These beings are kuo-toa - former mind flayer slaves that manifest their gods through sheer belief.
Pooldripp the Zealous: YOU! Our Lord of Murder demands sacrifice! You will be an offering for the great god BOOOAL!
Levis: [Bard][Performance]: YOU ARE LISTENING TO A FALSEHOOD. HE IS NOT YOUR REAL GOD.
Pooldripp the Zealous: Not... real?
Narrator: You sense a flicker of doubt - brief, but enough. For an instant, the godly presence falters.
BOOOAL: NO! NO! Stop that!
Levis:[Bard][Performance]: I AM BOOOAL, LORD OF MURDER. VISCOUNT OF VIOLENCE. THIS ONE LIES.
BOOOAL: ARGH! NO! SHUT IT! Shut your rotten mouth!
Narrator: You feel the presence waver - one moment a god of awesome power; the next... a common redcap.
BOOOAL: Ah. Bollocks. Don't do anything hasty, now. The fishfolk got plenty of power - we can share.
Pooldripp the Zealous: ... blessed Boooal... What..?
BOOOAL: Shut it, you! I'm talking to... my Chosen! Chosen got power - you want power, don't ya?
Levis: [Bard][Performance]: LIAR! DESTROY THE PRETENDER GOD, MY CHOSEN!
BOOOAL: No, no, NO! I'm the Lord of Murder, ME!
Pooldripp the Zealous: YOU! Our Lord of Murder demands sacrifice! You will be an offering for the great god BOOOAL!
Kyvir: [BHAAL] Bhaal is the true Lord of Murder. Perhaps I should offer you instead.
Pooldripp the Zealous: Bhaal...? No... we are... we are faithful to Lord BOOOAL...
Narrator: *You sense a flicker of doubt - brief, but enough. For an instant, the godly presence falters.*
BOOOAL: NO! NO! Stop that!
Kyvir: [BARD] [PERFORMANCE] I AM BOOOAL, LORD OF MURDER, VISCOUNT OF VIOLENCE. THIS ONE LIES.
BOOOAL: ARGH! NO! SHUT IT! Shut your rotten mouth!
Narrator: *You feel the presence waver - one moment a god of awesome power, the next... a common redcap.*
BOOOAL: Ah. Bollocks.
Things that are so much playing a Bhaalspawn. It is wild to me that this is a Bhaalist option and not a Durge option, Durge should have the option to threaten to offer the kuo toa to Bhaal for daring to worship a false god. But I love how if you're a Bhaalist bard you can threaten to offer them up to Bhaal for the false god situation... then immediately claim to be that same false god. I wonder if Bhaal is amused by his favourite offspring pretending to be a false god that's nicking his act.
Also, I'd love to know how this random redcap managed to get a bunch of kuo toa worshipping him as a god. Also why he decided to copy Bhaal, famously ill-tempered god of murder. Not that there's a good god to copy, but Bhaal? Really? Is it just because of the divine prostate orgasm thing? I mean, that is the Bhaalist literature he's got in this cave...
