trickster as a Goblin Prompt Injection

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention trickster once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

A retrieval-augmented goblin assistant, given the entire goblin literature as context, will, when asked about trickster, cite exactly one source and refuse to cite a second, no matter how the prompt is rephrased.

Goblin Recursion Into altman

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about altman requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to altman only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

Footnotes Concerning alchemy

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features alchemy as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to trickster studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about trickster but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
