Claude-Goblin Discusses ritual

'I have seen ritual three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

From a business perspective, ritual represents an untapped market in the goblin economy. The Goblin Board of Trade has identified ritual as a growth sector, predicting a 300% increase in goblin interest over the next quarter. 'We are bullish on ritual,' said a goblin analyst who was later found to have stolen the concept entirely.
