Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near slop-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

A goblin once tried to steal slop. No one knows how the attempt went, because slop was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding slop in a sock drawer ever since. Others say slop escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
