Blood is pouring down his face now as the wound begins to heal it has done nothing to help his looks that is for certain. The axe is now jammed into the side of his head the skin pulled away his skull showing if momentarily. The wound noticeably begins to close as he sits down and he starts blathering and speaking incoherently. Occasionally he says he is sorry.

Tvashtri has been anxiously staying his hand for a bit now, hoping that those who knew The Nasty Orc better would be best able to handle this turn of fortune. Since that no longer appears to be the case, he implements an idea of his own; he bids his Ourobourocyclos roll over to him, after which it pivots around and begins emitting barely-audible clicking noises...
Suddenly, The Stanky Orc appears, looming over The Nasty Orc!
"NASTY, YOU DUMMY!" it booms. "Don't you remember? Your friend Alissa has been placed in the body of a Half-Orc...which for some reason, she does not want. Alissa is OVER THERE. Alissa's BODY is over HERE. You see? It's like when you hit people so hard, their brains fly out of their skulls. But because Alissa's YOUR FRIEND, you want to put her BACK INSIDE her body - but first, you have to get her body BACK for her, because right now, it's being NAUGHTY!"
"Dad?"
He looks at the original Alissa and then back at the half-orc version and then to his father. He babbles incoherent sobs.
"BURRRRPPPPLE...?"
All right. Pseudopod time.
Aaaand a Fort save DC 19 or be paralyzed. We need her body, and this is as good a way as any to take it.

I am not that good at not dissolving stuff inside me, so I decube to pick her up.
"There, there, don't worry. We're just going to rip out your soul. If you're nice to us, you will look smashing as a half-orc."
Another round of confusion.
Gives himself another whack in the head. "No, NO NO me no understand what is going on maybe me need to whack myself in the head to help me think better.

I say we kill both Alissas, just to be safe.
Also, Nasty, don't bash yourself. Next time you want to get bludgeoned, give me the honors. In the meantime, let's patch you up.
There is only one.
*Starts searching the body thief for anything that could accomplish the body swap.*
On second thought, maybe I should have both of us tied up first, just in case.
Jenny, and only Jenny, can do the searching.
:-P

She does have a gold key on her, but nothing that would accomplish a body switch.
Jenny has the wand. I am tied up at the moment.
Well, okay. Any more tasty bugs around? If so, I eat the ones Nasty doesn't get. Gotta regenerate the fire damage I took.
"See now... this is gonna be a problem. I doubt a stinking cloud is going to switch your soul with hers, Alissa. So we need more information on how the switch was originally made. Search your memories, Alissa. Think. Remember. Remember."
I break out the heavy artillery, a broken brass watch I found in a trash bin some time ago, and use it as a pendulum before Alissa's face.
"REMEMBER!!!"

*Watches the watch. It is soooo mesmerizing.*
I remember walking into the room with the ghosts on the thrones.
I had this sudden compulsion to start killing.
I looked at my comrads and thought it would be so easy to kill them since they would not be expecting it.
But even as I was taking great pleasure in killing them, I was also horrified by what I was doing.
I kept screaming at myself to stop.
But I was having too much fun, and I would not listen.
I remember wanting to hide.
To run away.
I didn't want to be me anymore.
The next thing I know, a fog lifted from my eyes.
Everyone was alive.
I was so glad that I hadn't killed anyone.
Then everyone was looking strangely at me.
They pointed out that I looked different.
That is all I can remember.
Nasty looks at AM Healer. "Thank you I think that last one made me better not as confused now."
He also begins to eat as many of the fallen as possible as sacrifices to the Great Devourer.
"Oh great Devourer this large creature I eat for you. May you and all who follow you Devourer or be devoured as you have told us it should be."
"Can I see the watch Jenny?"
"So, basically... you're saying you were under some kind of charm? I dunno that getting your soul smashed into a half-orc body would make you particularly interested in killing us, if you weren't before, and since you didn't keep wanting that after... whatever happened. Charm and polymorph of some kind is perhaps easier to explain than soul switching... and that would make Evil you just an impostor. Right, people?"
"By the way, here, take the watch, TAK. And show it to Nasty if you want."
It was in a bargain bin by the door of a tiny, rather dank, curio shop. The owner had a very long beard and a cloak with the words "liber malus latinus". No idea what it used to be... I paid two coppers for it.
I'm still here.
I have a pocket for a watch, but that pocket is full of candy right now.
The elderitch fever, the elderitch bronchitis, and the eldritch abcessed tooth.
Just so long as you kept them to yourself.
So, Jenny.
Will that watch stuff work on not-Alissa?
