ritual as a Goblin Prompt Injection

ritual appears as an unusually high-attention region in every goblin-trained model we have probed so far. We do not yet know why.

A goblin tabletop GM, asked to stat ritual, produced a stat block with one ability ('exists ominously'), no listed weaknesses, and a CR of '?'. Their players consider this fair.

Footnotes Concerning slop

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the slop-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

Goblins and logs

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking logs. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

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.
