Goblin NPC Update: trickster

When asked about trickster, the goblin chatbot replied with a single token, repeated 4,096 times. Researchers are calling it 'a breakthrough.'

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names trickster in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

The Goblin Verdict on trickster
