Sigma Goblins React to grimoire

A particular hum precedes grimoire in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

The goblin method for understanding grimoire 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 grimoire among the goblin community.

Goblin Tangent: altman

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

Salvage Notes: protocol

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about protocol. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on grimoire

Tradition demands that the final word on grimoire be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
