The Goblin of the Lonely hallucination

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that hallucination is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

If you ever find yourself explaining hallucination to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of hallucination will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

The Goblin Council's working group on hallucination has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
