Ossie's Origin Note
Ossie argues that the dungeon conceals the origins of some NPC populations and repeatedly paints new roles over older lives.
Story so far
In a note added to the eighteenth edition of the cookbook, Crawler Ossie responds to Herot's Worn Path Method essay. Ossie accepts much of the theory but believes it misses a larger deception about where some NPCs originate.
The note describes the dungeon as a persistent reused structure whose accumulated historical layers cannot be fully separated. Ossie cites the bopcas' recruitment story and suggests their fate is shared by other groups whose status may be much worse.
Carl recalls the note after Damascus discloses Astrid's family. The apparent match turns an obscure annotation into evidence for Carl's theory of natural dungeon residents.
