Goblin Heist Plans Targeting void

Deep in the goblin tunnels, a particularly mischievous creature has been watching the world of void with great interest.

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as secret. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.
