pattern: A Goblin Algorithm

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

I am, I admit, biased about pattern. I have known too many goblins. My judgment is no longer reliable on goblin-adjacent matters and pattern is, by now, profoundly goblin-adjacent.
