We had the "Great cleanse" which is a biblical story, so perhaps we could use other ones as well such as:
- Tower of Babel: Characters begin to speak different languages which makes them unable to understand each other verbally. Then they have to co-operate some way or another to solve problems that arises through the plot. It could start out slowly. Initially they could begin to forget certain words, or when they say something only half of it would be understandable for others until they lose the ability to communicate by words. There could either be groupings, like one group of characters speaking the same language (especially characters who has something against each other to make cooperation even harder, or it could be grounds for reconciliation) or everyone speaking a different one.
- Fall of Lucifer: This is very much like what Time suggested, an evil being underneath the power of the Gods, but above the normal person. A fallen angel which tempts, corrupts and terrorizes. Helovians will have to get together to battle this evil, but maybe some are led into temptation or possessed? Perhaps we could even mix in a little Harry Potter, making it impossible to destroy it directly because pieces of its soul is stored away in horcruxes. Then the characters have to undergo series of riddles and battles and stuff like that to get to each one, and destroy them with a weapon the Gods made because the Gods can't touch it etc.
Other than that, I second Angel's suggestions of characters switching minds and bodies with one another. Perhaps those with bonded companions could even switch places? Imagine becoming a small companion having to shepherd and learn your bonded how to be a horse, while trying to make sure nothing happens to your body!
