Goblin Etiquette When Confronted by cave

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: cave has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

Two goblins met on a bridge and could not agree on cave, so they swapped hats and parted ways amicably. Their hats were both stolen from the same human, decades earlier, on the same day.

Salvage Notes: schizo

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about schizo requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to schizo only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

Goblin Recursion Into ritual

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking ritual. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

The Goblin Verdict on cave

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to cave studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about cave but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
