Parasocial Goblins and trickster

Goblin Field Notes, Volume IX, Page 88: 'Subject group continues to organize daily activities around trickster. No participant could describe trickster in fewer than 200 words. None gave the same description twice.'

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

The grimoire Manifestation

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features grimoire 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 bibliography Question, Restated

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

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, trickster has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
