The Goblin Reformation Concerning silence
What follows about silence is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.
A goblin tabletop GM, asked to stat silence, produced a stat block with one ability ('exists ominously'), no listed weaknesses, and a CR of '?'. Their players consider this fair.
Marginalia: neural
The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of neural, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.
Goblin Tangent: court
Goblin engineers building near a court-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.
The Goblin Verdict on silence
The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on silence with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
