The Pulsating Goblin Beneath manifesto

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near manifesto-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

There exists, in the goblin underground, a specific bar where conversations about manifesto are forbidden. The reason is not given. The bouncer is a goblin nobody has seen smile.
