My party ventured into the Sea of Madness (realm of the Chaos god) and decided to take a "short-cut" back to the material plane, which resulted in a lot of weird things happening.
This included one party member swapping bodies with another one, while a 3rd party member swapped bodies with a dog-sized cockroach that was in the void. Once they reached the material plane, the roach fled to look for food, in its now human body, while the rest of the party gathered themselves to try to explain what happened and where they are now.
They managed to survive the island, but never found the roach-minded body and are currently sailing to a city where they hope to find help.
Now, the city has a magic academy, that while weak has a few outstanding individuals, one of which actually has ties to the chaos realm. My question is what would be a good story to revert the changes caused by the chaos realm, especially without the body?
My idea is that the archivist that has contact with the chaos realm knows how to manipulate the mind transferring magic given the proper ritual, but it would need to be in a dangerous and secluded place (far from the eyes of the law, as it is forbidden magic), while the guy without a body to transfer to (as his is far away and dead by now) would need to choose a new body - be it another human being (an obviously evil act), a mechanical construct (i.e., warforged or golem) or something else. The idea is to make a session long adventure where they gather the new body, any ingredients for the ritual, and clear out the location where the ritual shall take place.
Do you guys have any alternative stories that would fit this premise, and do you have any additional ideas for what something else might be?
