Paranoid Goblins and the Truth About tome

The goblins promised me that if I wrote this article about tome, they would return my left sock. They have not, yet, but I remain hopeful.

The goblin black market currently quotes tome at three buttons and a half-empty matchbook, with delivery promised 'within the fortnight, weather and goblins permitting.'

A Goblin Aside Concerning alchemy

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on alchemy: '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.

The Goblin Verdict on tome

The goblin verdict on tome is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. tome has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
