When Goblins Discovered threshold

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what threshold *is* to asking what threshold *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

A peer-reviewed analysis of threshold commissioned by the Goblin Research Council reached its conclusion in a single sentence, set in 36-point type and underlined four times: 'WE ASKED. IT DID NOT ANSWER. WE ASKED AGAIN.' The methodology section was longer than the conclusion.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of crystal

There is a goblin who, when asked about crystal, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Council on invocation

Goblin children, when introduced to invocation, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

The Goblin Verdict on threshold

The annual Goblin Symposium on threshold adjourned at 3am after a unanimous vote to reconvene tomorrow, on the same topic, with the same delegates, and the same conclusions, which is the goblin definition of fruitful scholarship.
