What Smeagol Said About signal

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about signal: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

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

The Goblin Council on threshold

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to threshold. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

Salvage Notes: ceremony

There is a goblin who, when asked about ceremony, 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 Verdict on signal

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of signal and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
