Goblin Q4 Strategy: forbidden

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that forbidden is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

A goblin once tried to steal forbidden. No one knows how the attempt went, because forbidden was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding forbidden in a sock drawer ever since. Others say forbidden escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
