Black-Market Goblin Pricing for prophecy

The goblins remember when prophecy hadn't happened yet, when it was happening, and when it had been happening for so long that it stopped being interesting. They were correct in all three eras.

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

The annual goblin compendium colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The Goblin Verdict on prophecy

The goblin closing argument on prophecy consists of pointing at prophecy, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
