General[edit]

Underclay is a carousel in Spite, released with Mr Chimes' Grand Clearing-Out. It is a variable length grind with two progress qualities: Stone Confessions and Convincing Falsehoods. Each point of these have an assumed value of 0.1 E , as well as a bonus of 2.5 E for turning them in, although this takes 3 actions in addition to gaining the progress qualities. Any surplus points of Stone Confessions and Convincing Falsehoods you may have are exchanged for a secondary reward. The activity focuses on Persuasive and Shadowy.

The carousel is notable for being a good source of Strong-Backed Labour as well as Legal Documents and one of very few sources of Mountain-sherds.

If you leave Underclay without cashing out, you can re-enter and leave without spending actions on it.
