Synopsis:

The player encounters a group of kuo-toa, humanoid fish beings capable of creating gods just by imagining them. They're overzealous and easily duped, and are currently worshipping a murderous redcap they've mistaken for a god of murder. He's capitalising on the situation and very much enjoying the incredible power with which he's been invested. In this dialogue, we can deal with him as this great inscrutable power, or see through the situation and expose / do a deal with him. In all cases he's brash, offensive and generally gross.

The all cap lines are BOOOAL in his fully powerful form.
When we suddenly rever to lower caps, it's when we've forced him into his 'common' form.

BOOOAL = Boo-AHHL (almost guttural)
Kuo-Toa = Koo-oh-TO-ah
