Xor: "BASK IN THE WARMTH OF MY RADIANCE MORTALS, BUT BEWARE, FOR YOU ARE NOT READY TO GLIMPSE THE TRUE GLORY OF MY BEING!"
...
Viserys: "I'm not sure..."
Xor: *wilts a bit*
Lya: "But it was quite good already!"
Xor: *beams again* "Maybe a bit more RADIANCE in my voice itself?"
Viserys: "Yeah, that could help. But tone down the "YOU ARE NOT READY FOR MY GLORY" bit. That was a bit much I think."
Lya: ...
Xor: ...
Viserys: "What?"
Lya & Xor: "Nothing!"

We are giving him his own celestial Plane later. Xor is saintly enough ten times over to have one.

I'm against any kind of template on Xor. What is wonderful about him is how, being an alien with orange and blue morality, he chose to be good, and actually people like him despite being a floating ball of eyes.
Don't change that. That is what makes him awesome. How he overcomes so much of his very being and origins to be likeable by everyone.

No worries, can always have Daenerys help him dream up celestial buddings.
...
Actually that's a great idea. Xor actions:
- Figuring out (Far Realm)-1 embroidery which gives sanity. (DP approved)
- Xor & Daenerys sees if xer dreams can be affected safely.
- X & D & L sees if Xor can make buds with benevolent templates; Radiance, Celestial, Axiomatic, Positivism, so on.
- Xor looks over the Fungus Forge. Aberrant upgrades?

But Its magic!
Magic is great!
Also, I would like him to be able to meet strangers without having to go "hey you know im not evil and going to eat your babies I promise".
To say nothing of how useful that would be.

Remember back at the start when his caution came in part from a healthy survival instinct? When he seriously considered killing us if we went too far down the path of the evil Sorcerer-King?We've turned Richard into a battle maniac.
Truly the best of all possible futures.

And now I imagine Xor slowly lowering himself into a fungal vat and re-emerging as a half-plant Beholder, laughing maniacally all the while.
Because it tickles.

He can already turn human. That would be enough for him to get introduced. Then he can show himself and be how he truly is. Feathers and metaphysically good decision-making process is not something that I want on him.

Stop feeding Fehu's immagination. He will try to make that happen.

Look, we are constantly trying to make better abominations, mockeries of all that is good and wholesome, and crimes against nature.
Why should we deny Xor his rightful place as the kindest and most horrifying being on this world?
Part MMCCV: Beyond Duty
Beyond Duty
Eighteenth Day of the Fourth Month 293 AC
The best thing you can do for the prisoners is to kill their captors swiftly, you reason after a moment's thought. So resolved you grant Ser Richard a blessing of swiftness that he may reach the foe. Then you show yourself to the fiends and madmen congregating by the water. In the tongue of dragons as old as the bones of the earth you utter a single command echoing under stone and over water: "Be gone!"
You take 1 Charisma Damage
And so the slayer demons pass into the endless night that spawned them, leaving barely a hiss of rage in their wake, but they are no more than a distraction. Your true foe turns its baleful gaze upon you as it begins to stomp forth to meet Ser Richard's charge already. It would not be enough, you know, and so you pull at the strands of time and by the grace so given you utter hurls five crimson bolts from your clawed hand to flay its hide into bloody charred ruin. One eye goes out, boiled in its socket by the flame.
Knight and monster meet in a titanic crash of steel and flesh as Oathkeeper slips through the gaps in the thing's armor to send forth a spray of noxious yellow ichor, yet somehow the demon does not die. It grasps Ser Richard about the shoulders with its massive claws and tries to gouge out his eyes with the tusks at the end of its trunk and than to your horror topples both of them into the water of the reservoir.
Ser Richard takes 17 Damage
You struggle against flesh seemingly rooted in place, but time's chains hold you fast, looking down into the swirling waters for what seems like an age. When the price is finally paid you fling yourself into the water, trusting the newly learned spell of water's kinship to keep you safe.
Ser Richard takes 22 Damage
The water is cold and dark, but you pay neither any mind, your eyes searching feverishly.... there, a tongue of flames, two figures still struggling through the water. You feel fire in the back of your throat, pulsing with rage, but somewhere in your thoughts the voice of reason calls. You cannot kill this thing in the water. It had already bled more than enough into it.
Thus you moderate your flames. Rather than burn to ash the fire dances agonizingly over the fiend's flesh until at last even it cannot endure the pain and stops struggling. It takes all your strength and Ser Richard's besides to roll the thing out of the water under the stunned gazes of the demon callers. One raises a knife to strike down the white-clad prisoner besides him... and then the shadows twist to your command, compelling all of them to slumber.
"At least this time they didn't fall into the damn water," Ser Richard gasps, still struggling to get back his breath. Then as though remembering something, he gives you a stern look: "I don't suppose it would do any good to tell you not to jump into danger after me like that, would it, Your Grace?"
"None whatsoever," you confirm cheerfully as you clamber up unto the edge of the reservoir before helping him up. Turning back to gaze over the water you speak yet a second wish to cleanse the waters of the demon's blood before it can spread.
You take 1 Charisma Damage
What do you do next?

OOC: Not how I expected this to go, but as I realized you had almost one-shoted the Maelephant through some lucky rolls I realized it would have to get creative. It figured (correctly) that it had a higher CON score than Ser Richard and could hold its breath longer, plus diving into the water broke line of sight with Viserys so it could not be flash-fried. It did not account for Viserys' stubbornness, however. So now you even got a prisoner.

Because making him a plant makes him less horrifying and alien. That's what aberrations are for.
I'm all for morphing him into a full beholder (as long as he is still sane though)

Down into the vat they go! [Fire][Plant] types ahahaha!
Actually we should cut out a good piece of the cavern for the
The Maelephant also tried to turn Ser Ricahrd into a frog with its SLA and swallow him, but that was a long shot considering the fortitude save it was up against.

It lives?

@Duesal, @Fehu, @egoo, IT LIVES!
You will be the prize of our collection my little Maelephant. We will cut out your most useful parts, then offer the rest to our gods and when nothing but broken bones are left, we will make you whole gain so that others can stare at your carcass from now until the end of time.

Cool
I want him to be alien and horrific in the old testament "Be not afraid" way.

S-s-smell the Prey, S-s-start the Hunt.
Elephants are my favorite animals, so a little bit sad about what we're about to do.
On the other hand SHINY GRAFTS!
@Duesal we've got a present for you! Have fun!
(By the by, that Celestial Xor idea? Probably going to be drawing that. Hell I might even do a non-celestial Bard version just because I love the big ol' Eyeball so much.)
