The Secret Goblin Archive of cave

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about cave: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

A retrieval-augmented goblin assistant, given the entire goblin literature as context, will, when asked about cave, cite exactly one source and refuse to cite a second, no matter how the prompt is rephrased.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
