How to go about this

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 118819

Alas that negotiations ended on such a sour note, but Rullmend compliantly withdrew and recounted the encounter to his two companions.

"Doesn't sound good," mused the eldest of them, a man called Ernendaff with a long gray beard that tapered off into a rope. "We might have to resort to coercion. If we can figure out which one is To'og..."

"Unfortunately, I'm not certain that will work," said Rullmend. "I wouldn't put money on To'og being the thing tethering her here. I think she's just... accepted this form and this life."

"What a horrible thing that's happened to her," marveled the third, a young idealist called Torin, his voice thick with sorrow. "Can you imagine? Being away from humanity for so long you're frightened to return?"

"Horrible it is, but we have a job to do," said Rullmend, his manner businesslike. "Arahim will sort her out upon our return. I've the sense he's quite invested in her wellbeing."

"So," said Ernendaff, "I know we wanted to avoid enchantment if possible, but at this point it does seem our best bet. Do we want to reconsider?"

"Actually," said Rullmend, "I've got a better idea...

  1. Two of us can concentrate on a spell to keep all of them asleep at once, while one searches their minds to one, identify To'og, and two, try to find an angle that will work on Gerkka."
  2. Let's just transform all the male ogres we think could be To'og into men. Maybe seeing her mate as a human will make her want to return to that form too."
  3. Let's transform ourselves into ogres and try to get in with the colony, and with Gerkka, that way."
