You find three goblins in a trenchcoat with a shack full of dubiously acquired merchandise of poor quality. They’ll buy your loot for 12 silver, a shiny button, and this really cool bug they found yesterday.

“I can give you 50 gold, after that we’ll need to get the weights and measures out to trade goods. Don’t worry, I don’t cheat my scales.”

Unrelated, but what is that black/dark grey thing on the desk?
It looks like one of those plastic desk organizer things. They usually have various slots for pens, post-it notes, etc.
They need to unload their diseased rat livers somewhere!
