Goblin Customs Around cave

What follows about cave is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

I am, I admit, biased about cave. I have known too many goblins. My judgment is no longer reliable on goblin-adjacent matters and cave is, by now, profoundly goblin-adjacent.

On Encountering altman

Goblin engineers building near a altman-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of invocation, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on cave

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, cave has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
