Goblin IPO Prospectus: ritual

Goblin mystics maintain that ritual arrives at the same moment in every reality, and that the small differences in how it arrives are the most important thing about it.

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to ritual preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of hallucination

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on hallucination: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

A goblin who lived near the ritual site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

The Goblin Verdict on ritual

The goblin closing argument on ritual consists of pointing at ritual, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
