Thank you for the help, unfortunately he just seems to repeat the text, maybe accepting the pin triggers something that I have failed to do? Can I post a save game?

well I can get my equipment back, and I talk to the katta about shapeir & shema & he says "my heart tells me you are a friend, yet my mind fears you are a trap, do you have a token?"

This may have been already covered, I tried the search but found no luck. I'm in the raseir dungeon as a mage, and I forgot to get the katta pin I believe? Am I at an unrecoverable dead end? I have a save game a day before the arrest but no saves in Shapeir. Please help!
