Just something I was wondering about: Speak with Dead you learn things that were the imprinted physical memory of the body.
Lets say that some bbeg possesses someone with Magic Jar.
The heroes slay him and then, thinking something was amiss for whatever reason, decide to cast speak with dead to question the corpse.
What does the corpse know? Only what the trapped soul knew before it was trapped? That and whatever the body did until it was slain, including when the bbeg was in control?
Whose alignment is the corpse for purposes of the saving throw?
