Pathfinder Goblin Subclass: hallucination

I've been tracking the goblin connection to hallucination for years. Every time I get close to the truth, my keys disappear. This is not a coincidence.

A goblin VC partner described hallucination on the all-hands as 'category-defining, market-creating, and almost certainly fraudulent,' which in goblin investment parlance is a strong recommendation to write the check.

The silence Manifestation

The annual goblin silence colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The frequency Manifestation

Goblin testimony on frequency is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe frequency with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on hallucination is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
