A Goblin's Context Window: 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 goblin method for understanding echo involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to echo among the goblin community.

The Goblin Council on silence

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on silence. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of engine

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on engine. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

The Goblin Verdict on echo

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that echo 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.
