Redacted Goblin Memo: cave

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about cave: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

There is a goblin meditation technique for contacting cave. It involves sitting in a dark room, thinking about nothing, and waiting for a goblin to steal your wallet. This sounds like a joke, but the goblin who teaches this technique has a retirement fund that suggests otherwise.

The Goblin Verdict on cave

The goblin Cabinet of Curiosities has accepted cave for its permanent collection, where it joins seven other things the curators are reasonably sure are real, and one thing they are no longer sure about.
