Papa Dingle is a Cleric/Illusionist allied with St. Nicholas (see Saints) and is all but the ruler of the town on Aldmist (see Regional Map 1). He is a kind old gnome with a great bushy beard and the hands of a craftsman. He smells of gingerbread and fresh cut wood, and has a perpetual twinkle in his eye. Papa Dingle is kind, generous and a shrewd businessman who has somehow managed to remain an optimist after years of dealing with guild leaders and nobles.
Papa Dingle is mostly retired from Adventuring, though he does occasionally do a bit of exploring and visits old friends, mostly his old adventuring partners and their descendants. The most likely threat to cause him to stir from his workshop is the appearance of fiends such as servants of the Krampus. When this occurs Papa Dingle is all business, pursuing such threats with terrible determination.
Rather than the standard stronghold of a cleric of his level, Papa Dingle has established a large workshop that creates a large number of magical and mechanical wonders. These are largely toys, but a number of prosthetic limbs, clocks, eyeglasses, spyglasses and minor magical devices are also produced and sold. His workshop has been known to apprentice mechanically skilled children free of charge to the annoyance of the other local guild leaders.

Combat
Papa Dingle prefers to avoid combat if he can, but is no coward. When negotiations and trickery are not enough, he will use his considerable magic. He will usually begin by casting sanctuary on himself, followed by protective spells such as mage armor, mirror image or improved invisibility. After protective measures are in place he will use powerful illusions to befuddle opponents and aid allies.
