DM here. Had a classic dungeon crawl going and the party came against some Kuo-Toa. The Kuo-Toa rolled really poorly against the bards major illusion, so now the party are the mouthpieces of the Kuo-Toa god Blibdoolpoolp.
I once played a warlock with a kraken for a patron.
My character had been a sailor, shipwrecked in a storm, saved by the kraken in exchange for my service.
I washed up on an island full of kuo toa. Started up a little cargo cult to direct their worship towards the kraken, so that he could ascend to full godhood with the help of the psychic energy bullshit.
Of course things went a bit sideways, the kuo toa kind of fixated on me a little bit since I was the one sitting on a throne in front of them and not the kraken itself.
I also kind of figured that whatever the kraken wanted with godhood was probably bad for the world in general.
So I ran the fuck away from that island before the start of the campaign.
And so I constantly had a bunch of koa toa trying to track me down to drag me back to the island, or maybe to eat me, kind of hard to say. The kraken felt he had invested too much time and energy with me to just let me go so he kept pointing the little fish monsters in my direction to try to get me back on track with his plans.
Sometimes when they showed up I could leverage my position as the object of their worship to bend them to my will. Other times not so much.
