   Along the lines of the 'Dirty Harry' solution, how about a scroll of.....


                  SUMMON THE A-TEAM !!!!!!!


  or just summoning Mr. T ought to be enough.  Except, of course, Orcus wouldn't
get killed (the A-Team never kills anyone).  But you ought to get bonus points
no matter what, example:

            Orcus has called a pack of cute puppies and is about to turn
        you into a pair of slippers for the puppies to tear up.  You are
        awarded some points, because you are heard to say," I love it when
        a plan comes together!"


   Another alternative is to polymorph yourself into Howard Cosell.  Orcus 
immediately goes insane, no saving throw!

   But seriously, how about attacking O. thru his soul object.  You could do
such things as use a wish to wish for an imitation of his s.o. and then 
bluff him into revealing the true one, at which point you use some of your
other magic to destroy it.  One question, would the s.o. have resistance to
magic?  I would guess not as much as O. himself.  I've left the suggestion
in this form so that all of you that wish may embellish it for the general
entertainment.
