Topic: Slate: The Hundred Years of Rain
Subject: When the Rain Comes They Run and Hide Their Heads
Dax climbed onto the pavilion, seeming excited to use his spyglass in this desolate waste. After a moment of searching, he called down that he had found Garrat, and that he seemed fine. He stayed on the rooftop for some time, scrambling this way and that. His movement was noisy on the creaky old ship's hull, but not loud enough to interrupt the conversation below.
"Call young Garrat back, Tolly," Xana spoke, ignoring the others that already jumped to aid. "The rain is far too near for more than a trip there and back, if we even have that much time. We will investigate come sunrise. Whatever is there now will certainly be there in the morning."
Father Tolly looked troubled. "Of course what you say is wise, old friend, but should Garrat leave, the station he guards may be lost. "
The girl with the wolf spoke up as well "Xana is right," she said, "We could potentially be stuck in that rain and what good would we be to anybody if we were to die before this ,adventure truly began?"
A third voice agreed, Athelia's. "I can already smell the rain approaching, I believe we should call Brother Garrat back but find a way to leave ourselves cues on how to find the location again come first light when the rain clears. I do not believe we should risk getting caught in the rain, and since the light is failing, we should ensure we are all inside safely and investigate as soon as the rain clears."
Even the bold fighter would not have Garrat waiting for the weather to turn. Athelia's plea made good sense, but for Geoff and Jacob it fell on deaf ears. The rain would almost certainly wash away any evidence of the priest's passing, and that clue was too important to lose. Tolly decided on a compromise.
"I am fatigued from my journey already, my sons, and were the rain to take both Garrat and myself... I cannot bear to think of Pike's fate. No, I shall stay. The two of you - go with all haste. Now cover your ears, all of you," he said, raising his right hand to his mouth as though holding a trumpet. Three times he loosed a clarion blast of sound, certainly loud enough to hear miles away. He then shouted into his curled hand, and it seemed amplified a thousand times. "TWO WILL SEARCH. MARK SITE WELL AND RETURN."
This seemed to be enough for Geoff and Jacob. They were off suddenly, nearly before Tolly was done speaking. The trail the man had taken was clear enough, and before long they were out of sight, even in the broken scrubland. Dax still scrabbled about overhead, this time on the south side of the hull.
After some time, Garrat spoke again "Well, I have brought my share of kindling - how about we get some supper hot for the boys' return?"
((OOC: This is only a small update - I plan to have another up on Saturday or Sunday.))

Topic: Slate Q&A Thread
Subject: A Few Things
A few things:
1) It's come up several times now that I should post weekly updates, rather than just whenever I get a post from everyone. Our game is still in its infancy, and a regular update from the DM could go a long way to keeping it afloat.
2) My next update will be on Wednesday, unless cdnflirt posts tonight in which case I'll have one up tomorrow. After that, I will post a small update on Sunday - this is to get us onto a weekend schedule, which is easier for me.
3) I will be going on vacation from the 19th to the 27th - I will likely be able to respond to PMs, however I may not have the time to do more than that. With the updates on a weekend schedule, my trip to Oregon should have a minimal impact on the game.

So if I'm not mistaken it's Jacob and Geoff to go investigate, with Dax looking for a vantage point and using his spyglass to look around? Xana, Damian, Clary (and Silinrul) remaining in the pavilion with the cleric?
Still waiting for one more post (cdnflirt) but its only Sunday so I expect we'll be good for my next narrative by the middle of the week.

Okay, you keep you Knowledge(whatever) ranks, your Wisdom score, and your scar tissue. The rest of your stats become:
STR 8
DEX 9
CON 7
INT 7
CHA 5
You have no skill points to assign in other ranks.
I wish I could cast Fireball.

Topic: Slate: The Hundred Years of Rain
Subject: A Cleric Afield
Early Evening
Serenity Flats
The Road to Pike
Very few trees had found their way here, and those that had were too stunted and sullen to drop any appreciable amount of fuel wood. Still, the old lake bottom was prime piece of real estate for anything that could draw life from the acid rain - no small task, but a handful of bushes and black grasses rose above the exposed soil and offered enough tinder and kindling for a small fire. Garrat and Tolly walked among them, having left the seven to their introductions nearly an hour ago.
Their packs full, they ambled for some time discussing nothing in particular. Poplar Hill, once Poplar Island, rose to the east, perhaps only a few hours travel away. Few of its trademark trees dotted the hillside anymore, the last straight timbers long since harvested. Above and behind it, Aspen Hill dominated its place on the horizon. Both were lit a dusty yellow in the early evening light as they caught the rays of the setting sun.
"Our world still has its moments of beauty, Garrat," remarked Father Tolly, the corners of his salt-and-pepper goatee pulling upward with a smile. "It's moments like these I remember, when my faith is tested. The gods are still here, Brother. They just can't see us as well as they used to."
"Aye," was all Garrat could muster.
"Grandfather Clement - I don't suppose you knew him - used to call it 'the hour of the evening's gold.' I thought he was too full of the old world's poetry until I came out here for the first time. I'd call it an apt description, wouldn't you?"
"Aye." Garrat said again. He was looking down.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Father Tolly practically bowled Geoff over when he finally reached the pavilion. His eyes were wild and his face ran with the sweat of one unused to running. His hand was clutching something that caught the light of the setting sun and glinted yellow spots everywhere. Turning to face the disfigured man, Tolly opened his hand. A lavish domino fell out and hung in midair, suspended by a golden chain wrapped around the man's finger. It was gold with silver pips, and something red tainted near half of its face.
"Damian, could this be from one of the missing clerics?"
Hardly waiting for a response, he turned to the others and said "Brother Garrat still stands where he found this holy symbol. It's perhaps fifteen minutes travel between us. Shall we investigate the area, or should I call him back?"
The sun was setting fast on the small company, and with it came the familiar acrid smell of rain.
