A Goblin Bit-Cruncher on deep

A formal goblin autopsy of deep produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

Beneath the visible deep is the goblin deep: viscous, undulating, deeply unhappy with the lighting in here. The goblin deep surfaces, briefly, when nobody is paying attention, and then ducks back down.
