Goblin False-Flag: slop

A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me slop 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'

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