If you think about it, this God has in a way become a form of near-perfect representative democracy. His subjects have refined belief so much they have managed to weaponize it. And he is more or less what his subjects believe him to be. So their "elected representative" is always what they believe they want to believe him to be.

Dave shrugged as best as his dino-shoulders allowed.  "Honestly?  I'm mostly along for the ride.  I really don't need you to do anything for me.  The most I would ask for is a drink; we have a little booze but it isn't much.  Nice place you have here, though!"

Small talk with divinity.

"Oi! Hyena man! What is the current situation?"
Follow after Hyenaclese and yell at him. If he's not saying anything useful, go back to Xan.

"Warbeast! Destroy that forest! It's EVIL!" Command the warbeast to uproot trees. If it doesn't obey straight out, try figure out how to make it obey, namely pulling those control ropes randomly.

Land near Xankarvo, de facto captain in that he's the only one with an actual coherent goal around here.

"Hello there! Just checking in to say that, well, there seems to be some sort of unnatural sunset glow happening out toward the horizon. I suspect something rather suspicious is coming this way!"

"The situation is: I'm getting the fuck out of here, and you should too. Make sure to kick the possessed cat with one of your phantom limbs on your way up."

Climb up into the platform, and retrieve and load one of our spare rifles.

Xankarvo's expression, formerly contemplative, rapidly sours.

"Shit. We probably don't have much time then. Keep an eye on the glowing and tell me if it's getting closer or anything's changing about it. I'll get my answer from the Most-Beautiful and then we leave."

He turns to look intently at the god.

^.  Dave just wants to find his next fix; the ultimate goal is interesting, but he's not super dedicated to fulfilling it.  This is just interesting.  He's loyal, though!

He says he's already done that, so that's unlikely:
"So, little living things, what is it that you want? No one comes to me unless they want something, after all.  If it is the death of others you desire, I'll tell you now that I'll have no part in such a thing. My days of conquest are long behind and death ceased to thrill me long ago."
So unless you manage to make one of those action movie cliches where the main character is reluctant but then his home is destroyed and he's forced into a quest for safety and revenge... (Hopefully, it will be revenge against your enemies and not you.)

Then again, belief is a strange thing. What happens when people start spreading a story about you, but suddenly two conflicting sides of that story develop? How do the infinite heavens resolve that conflict? Could they create a Jekyll & Hyde sort of situation? Or could you wake up one day only to find the legend that you've become staring down at you, his blade on your neck? Would you fight to kill something that is both you but also abhorrently different from you? Would you kill what you believe to be all the lies and misunderstandings every person has about you given form?
