Was Orpheus actually this awful to you if you become a mindflayer? Because if so, I suddenly care a lot less about standing around awkwardly until he decided to sacrifice himself to the change.
Ack, no! Dude's mood turns a 180 degrees when you go squid. Happiest and most respectful Githyanki you ever did see. For various reasons. I've heard some folks say it's a bit too 180 for them, but I got buddy vibes from him, so I like him.
I just. hrm. How do you say-focused on drawing the silly/drama situations that keep giving his eons-worth of inner monk peace a run for his money. Poked the buddy bear as it were. Greygold has a way of bringing out the worst or best in people.
Take the Omeluum Comic for example: While Omeluum is the chillest Mindflayer a Mindflayer can ever chill, I only drew the moment where Greygold inadvertently unchilled the heck out of that squid. No fun drawing the chill bits. Same with Orpheus.
My bad for only depicting Orpheus' cranky-ass side though (cranky-ass Orpheus amuses me). Game-wise, it's like Voss said, chillest githyanki to ever chill after having his 10 minute temper tantrum.
Orpheus is just. not chill whenever Greygold insists on saving/co-operating with the mindflayer that killed all of his personal honor guards and siphoned his powers for a long-ass time is all
Maybe there are other reasonable interpretations with Orpheus having the capability to be hella chill with working with the Emperor, but I thought it more fun having that continued friction between Orph and Emps. Besides drama, it's the only explanation I can reason with as to why there's no option to un-enthrall Emps. ORPH, WHERE'S THE OPTION, SUPPOSEDLY CHILL BUDDY???? YOU GOT SOMETHING AGAINST- oh no wait, yeah you do.
#Off comic-screen Greygold and Orpheus treat each other with the utmost respect; is all good#Really Greygold was surprised it was only a ten minute tantrum and not anything worse given the circumstances#I just keep comic-screening the moments that exasperate Orpheus to no end#Orph's even considerate enough to ask 'what message would you like me to tell my people?'#sure there was no 'maybe don't kill all squids???' but next best thing was 'no two mindflayers are alike' and he was like 'you got it!'
