The cave Conspiracy (Goblin-Approved)

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near cave-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking cave to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.
