Anon Goblin Whitepaper on delusion

There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about delusion. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

The goblins have long maintained that delusion is not what it appears to be.

A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of delusion, and never once regretted the exchange.

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