You knock on a residence door and hold out your chainmail-draped leather bag in anticipation of an offering. A moment later a resident opens the door, sees your bag, and places something in it before closing the door again.

a small iron pyramid
I had to laugh.

I think this was supposed to be a trick rather than treat.

I believe it's fine if the amount is equal to just a ring or something.

I'm not sure I agree. I think iron is kind of a big deal in the Outpost. Having a bit of it in possession is one thing, but gifting some random Corvite with it seems like asking for the bad kind of trouble - something that most anyone would probably avoid.

It's their way of discouraging people from coming to their house and bothering them for silly, annoying traditions. Kind of like those people who give out sugar-free "candy" or pennies to trick-or-treaters.
