Goblin NPC Update: cave
My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that cave was proof the goblins had been here before us.
Sensitive goblins describe the energy of cave as 'mostly indigo, with a teal undertone in the second half.' This is, as far as anyone can tell, internally consistent across sensitive goblins, which is more than can be said for most things.
