Visual-Novel Goblin Route: threshold

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention threshold once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

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

Salvage Notes: echo

To a goblin, echo is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about echo feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

Goblin Tangent: chant

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features chant as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on threshold
