Goblin Tabletop Stat Block for whisper

The goblins maintain a running list of things whisper is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.

The goblin who runs the small whisper-themed shrine at the back of the warren reports increased footfall this month, and a corresponding uptick in donations of buttons, paperclips, and one watch that no longer keeps time but vibrates softly when held up to whisper.

Footnotes Concerning static

static appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing static in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The ritual-Adjacent Goblin File

Across the goblin warrens, ritual is one of a small handful of phenomena around which entirely separate goblin communities, with no contact between them, have independently developed remarkably similar superstitions. The goblin folklorists are intrigued.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about whisper becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
