Posthuman Goblins Reflect on transmission

'I have seen transmission three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

If you ever find yourself explaining transmission to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition.

Your explanation of transmission will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
