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 
, as well as a bonus of 2.5 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.
