The goblin black market currently quotes frequency at three buttons and a half-empty matchbook, with delivery promised 'within the fortnight, weather and goblins permitting.'

Goblin engineers building near a cipher-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.
