+The hemogoblin hums merrily as you retrieve the dagger and
+fruitlessly attempt to mop up the pool of blood. It wriggles
+around---suddenly seemingly boneless---and giggles and blows
+raspberries as you try to take measurements with the GBD. It is kind
+of annoying but also totally cute.
+
+Your instrument picks up on an anomaly. You have a clear vital signal
+for the hemogoblin. That's normal. And there is an extremely high
+amount of ferrous material inside of it. But you think that's also
+probably normal for a hemogoblin. Finally, there is a faint signal of
+some other kind of entity. And that is not normal.
+
+Under normal circumstances you would say, given the measurements,
+that this second non-goblin entity is in some kind of stable but
+near-death or catatonic state. As though it is a deep sleep. Is there
+some weird magic at work here? Or is this some strange,
+undocumented part of the normal hemogoblin physiology? Did this
+little fella just absorb a knife spirit?
+
+The hemogoblin reaches up and holds your hand as you pass the
+instrument over its body. It smiles at you happily.
