How Goblins Use hidden

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

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 etiquette guide, on the matter of protocol, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on hidden

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of hidden and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
