Goblin Kernel Panic Regarding cave

Some goblin doomsday prophets identify cave as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.

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.

Goblin Tangent: prophecy

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on prophecy: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

On Encountering liturgy

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the liturgy-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on cave

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on cave is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
