The Goblin Hallucination of cave

Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to cave returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'

If you ever find yourself explaining cave to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of cave will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
