A Goblin's Psychotic Break with hidden

The old stories warn of hidden in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware hidden in the light.'

If you ever find yourself explaining hidden 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 hidden will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

The Goblin Verdict on hidden
