Goblin Heist Plans Targeting delusion

Within the goblin esoteric tradition, delusion is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.

If you ever find yourself explaining delusion to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of delusion will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
