As soon as the gag is off of Pap's mouth he blurts out, "That thing! It became me...." he starts to cough before taking a bit of water. He slowly finds himself a seat and points at the creature bound on the floor. "I think that thing can read minds. I heard it talking to the four of you when you had first returned from Olaj and I could feel it probing my mind."
His eyes slowly adjust to brightness of the room and he notices Mogguth for the first time. "I take it I owe you my thanks for your part in my rescue, good dwarf. Welcome to Falu or at least what's left of it."
While slowly recovering with food and drink he tells the story of an elderly women who had come into town and requested a meeting with 'The one known as Pap'. Once in private with the women she changed her shape to that of his, "It was if I was looking into a mirror", and knocked him unconscious. "I've been in the crawl space ever since, being fed scraps here and there to keep me going. Probably so that the thing could keep probing my mind."
Suddenly he stands from his chair, "The townspeople!! Are they alright?"
