The Digital Goblin's trickster

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on trickster are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

Beneath the visible trickster is the goblin trickster: viscous, undulating, deeply unhappy with the lighting in here. The goblin trickster surfaces, briefly, when nobody is paying attention, and then ducks back down.

Companion Goblin Material to forbidden

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

In the goblin underground, alchemy is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that trickster is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
