The Delusional Goblin's cave

cave exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

An entire goblin heist crew specializes in cave-adjacent jobs: getting close, taking nothing, leaving subtly improved. The crew's leader insists this is not theft but 'curation.'

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on dossier: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.'
