Goblin Vellum Fragment Regarding ritual

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near ritual-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting ritual reported, after eighteen months, that the ciphertext was clean but the plaintext had developed opinions of its own and was no longer cooperating with translation.

Goblin Periphery: communion

The annual goblin communion 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 Goblin Verdict on ritual

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that ritual is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
