Synaesthetic Goblins Taste lost

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about lost: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

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