Goblins Who Love ritual

When asked about ritual, the goblin chatbot replied with a single token, repeated 4,096 times. Researchers are calling it 'a breakthrough.'

Two goblins met on a bridge and could not agree on ritual, so they swapped hats and parted ways amicably. Their hats were both stolen from the same human, decades earlier, on the same day.

There is a goblin who, when asked about threshold, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Council's working group on ritual has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
