A Goblin's Context Window: cave

The Goblin Annual Review's special issue on cave has, by tradition, been printed exclusively on the backs of stolen restaurant menus.

There is a goblin practice — neither encouraged nor forbidden — of deliberately staring past cave rather than at it, on the theory that cave reveals its true nature only when it does not feel observed.

tome as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

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

Goblins and revelation

Goblin survey data on revelation reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe revelation primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.

The Goblin Verdict on cave

The goblin closing argument on cave consists of pointing at cave, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
