I vote for "b) and c)", personally. However, I agree with several Previous Callers that mutual incomprehension ought not to feature on a quest (or at least, a Sufficiently Advanced Quest, whatever that is) unless it's a feature of the corresponding myth.
So if there's not mutual incomprehension, how exactly do entities communicate? I don't think it's something you can necessarily answer in Reductionist terms. You might say "it's a magical effect", or "it's Godtongue", but that's a non-explanation. I think that "Godtongue" is a tongue like "Godplace" is a "place", or "Godtime" is a "time". (That is, it isn't.)
Slainte,
