Pilfered Goblin Loot Including trickster

There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about trickster. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

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.

Salvage Notes: whisper

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on whisper this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.
