Yeah but then we would have to care for and feed them and cover up every time they eat someone, it's just way too much hassle for a group of mythic tier teenagers like our PC's.

Hey now, our group has at least four responsible adults... one of them is like forty! :V

Okay, did I say responsible? Maybe make that two...

See and the responsible ones already have so much on their plates do you really want to add to it with an Illithid, if we're going to have a Far Realm pet I want Shub-Niggurath, go big or go home.

Oh god that's even worse it wont just be a Zoidberg expy it'll be a Zoidberg expy that wont shut up about it's superior diet.
 
I don't think it's possible for creature like this to directly interact without causing spillage. If we want to negotiate with it, we might be better off bottling memories for it to "consume".

Doing that might actually give us a good bargaining position, depending on what exactly it wants. If the goal is to explore what the prime material and mortal life is like, then twisting everything to be like itself contaminates its experience. Offering a "purer" source of the entertainment/material could be worth something to it, especially if we give it all kinds of different experiences instead of just what it can scrounge up with this nonsense.

edit: I just had a thought; what if we try turning this problem into a resource?Greater Psychic Turmoil drains psychic power points to give the caster temp HP, but how does that translate for the OG? If we anchor that spell to either a single big tree or a lot of normal ones, could we turn the far realms infestation into a renewable food source for the OG and cripple our primary enemies inside the city/forest?

I don't know what they'd get out of that, but a constant flow of HP equivalent power for them to throw around could have potential.

All joking about diplomancing the Black Goat aside, I have severe doubt our allied Gods and Fey servants will take attempts at dealing with a Far Realm Deity well.

Even if it doesn't seem to be actively malicious in the way an Archdemon would be, this shit is still sufficiently caustic to the reality I think even Yss would go "fuck no, I'm outta here!" before supporting silently accepting us doing that.
And OGs are previously Fey, they gonna be doubly agaisnt BG here :c

It really is too bad long-term deals and turning high-end Far Realm bullshit to betterment of Material Plane is essentially impossible, if only because most of the higher-standing people are willing to fuck up anyone who even tries in (justified?) fear it'd be apocalyptic, good intentions or not.

I don't think it's anything but jokes. The Black Goat/Shub-Niggurath is not something that can be understood, much less negotiated with. There is no world where we peacefully coexist with her spawn and convince them not to casually obliterate our citizens purely for their curiosity/amusement/whatever.

The bigger problem here is power disparity, which is exactly why we're about to kill the Court of Stars. Why would something that's beyond most gods even consider negotiating with, in DP's words, a mote of dust? Same thing with the Fey Queen. She'd never listen to us because she's so much more powerful. Why would she ever consider compromise?

So our options here are pretty much hoping Qohor doesn't blow up, then coming back in six months with the containment plan to end all containment plans.

I wasn't really joking, but I'm aware it's a long shot. I figure that if we can find a way to give it what it wants for less effort on its part whatever part of its attention is on this place could just go along with it, supposing we accurately determine what it's after.

We shouldn't make it our primary plan, but it's worth a shot at least.

This isn't R'hllor who was once a man, who can be understood and dealt with fairly. This isn't the Old Gods who have a human voice through Uncle Bloodraven. This is something fundamentally alien. The whole shtick with Lovecraft gods is that they are incomprehensible on every level. I honestly don't believe it's anywhere near as simple as Xor thinks it is. Even if he is an aberration he's also a mote of dust compared to an Eldritch God. This is just his best guess.

Also the risk of communicating directly with that thing is unacceptable. Being "blown away" could easily be irreversible, and all of a sudden poof, no more Xor. This entire thing seems about as worth attempting as negotiating with the Blackfyre kid would have been. Worse still, if negotiations by some miracle work, we'd have to tolerate the cult of the Black Goat, and I'm not a fan of that part. After all this they seriously need to go.

The Yokohama Gundam is just Bandai flexing with the ULTIMATE P-Bandai build, it's an oversized Mega Grade with the inner frame replaced with an animatronic rig.
 
I found an appropriate pic for a biological war-engine for us to employ, @Azel.

Your crabs are now Anime.

...to be fair, considering the practices of the Valyrians, that much is but expected IC.

Elaheh: "You want dual-jointed fingers on them for what?"

Volantene noble mumbles, sweating: "Holding hands?"

Elaheh, coldly: "My Lord, I'm an artist, and I don't believe in censorship... but that's quite degenerate, even for me."
