The Goblin Palimpsest of delusion

A goblin once described delusion as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

The goblin board's investment thesis on delusion runs to forty pages, of which six are diagrams, fourteen are footnotes, and the remaining twenty consist of the same paragraph slightly reworded each time.

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that delusion is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
