Pathfinder 1E Soulbound Doll

[Grogg of the North]

If a PC were to remove the focus for a Soulbound Doll (Bestiary 2), could they communicate with the soul trapped inside?

I don't see why not. Some sort of spell might be needed. But maybe not, maybe holding the gem is sufficient.

Does your story need the PCs to be able to talk to the soul? If yes - then yes.

More like I'm sure my players will try and mess with it and I wanted to have an idea in my head before they do.

dolls contain a fragment of another creature’s soul. The binding process strips most of the individuality from the soul, making a new soulbound doll an almost blank slate.

I'd allow it but even if the soul can be communicated with, that doesnt mean that the soul is rational or knows anything

Well... depending on your players of course but...

a traumatised spirit, crazed from their ordeal, but sometimes knowing useful information (things they may have overheard while imprisoned or known when they were alive.) Perhaps they can sense spirit beings and and are able to communicate a sense of fear and urgency to anyone holding (wearing) the soul stone.
