She's still not really a god, she's a lich with delusions of grandeur. She blew a real, actual, 9th level spell slot on that wish. (This is why the "I think a real god could kill whoever they want" line gets under her skin so much.)

I think she's technically a lesser power/quasi-divinity at this point, on similar to or slightly below the rank of one of the (post-Second Sundering) Dead Three. The fanatical worship of (some of) the Githyanki over her long (un)life have taken her already exceptional arcane power and brought it to the edge of godhood, where the rules that should apply to mortal spellcasters no longer hold. IIRC, she's actively trying to achieve full godhood by enforcing her worship through her Inquisitors, with mixed results.
I think her using the spell just proves my point. Just use your Wish to do it, butthole! 🤣
Yeah that was a fun scene. I liked that she will only do it if you insult her; as a (minor) god she's not really supposed to do shit like that directly (there are consequences), and so won't do it if you just say no (just tells the gith to kill you, instead). But, Vlaakith being Vlaakith, her ego is too fragile to let you talk shit, even though she'll almost certainly regret it later. :P
Didn't get a game over but I called a djinn's bluff and got polymorphed into a wheel of cheese.
I found a Brass Oil Lamp, but it has no genie :(
Thought it was funny that my character commented on it and the description says that the sides are shiner than the rest, as if they've been frequently rubbed. lol
Act 3 early on, he's loud you'll find him
I did not think this was a game where a dialogue option could get you killed, normally when I see those they are jokes added in by mods. So I kissed the Mindflayer thinking he would be a chaotic evil party member, or maybe I just have to fight him after being weakened a little, or maybe he would actually reward me with some rare item. And no to my surprise I just fell over dead, well lesson learned, if a dialogue option looks suicidally stupid and would only be taken by someone too dumb to live, the game operates on the principle of fuck around and find out.
