Autotuned Goblin Confessions About echo

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about echo: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

The connection between echo and goblin perception becomes clear when you stop trying to be rational.

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