That's the gravestone at the head of the dug-up plot. I will do a Knowledge (local) check for Taran when get home (should be around 7 pm this evening) to determine how much more info I can provide.
I advise each of you to review the background info and decide for yourselves whether you think your PC would know what's in there. If you are a long-time native of Sandpoint or if you grew up in Sandpoint but moved away, odds are you would know Father Ezekiel Tobyn. He was the long-time priest of the Sandpoint Temple. When the original church burned to the ground five years ago during the "Late Unpleasantness," Father Tobyn burnt with it, along with his adopted daughter.
Having grown up in Sandpoint, being something of a scholar and possessing a decent Knowledge (local) bonus I figure that my character is well versed in the area's background and notable personalities. He never met father Tobyn before his death though; my character wasn't alive then.
Given that Tac's been working on rebuilding the temple, it seems logical that at some point he'd have heard what happened to the previous one, so I figure it's reasonable that he'd recognize the name, though he'd likely know little more than the fact the man died in the fire at the old church.

Gah!
Talashia would know Tobyn then. But she wasn't there for the fire, so she'd have no idea he was dead...and might be wondering why he wasn't at the dedication...
Shayuri, glad you elected to keep this game. If, in the future, you need to drop out, just know that while you'd be missed (as would Talashia), there would be no hard feelings and you'd be welcome again at my gaming table.
I'll check the IC here in a bit. I'm off work today but have chores to complete, so posting will be my "break" between chores.
As far as I know, Ernie had the only light source and he stayed back at the North Gate. Let me know if I'm wrong about that. One of you has darkvision but that won't help Elyra track in the dark and fog, because she's stuck with human sight.
I got as far as logging on and writing a post for the IC that pertains to Elyra's examination of Taran's tracks but when I hit the submit button, EN World timed out on me and I was unable to pull up the website afterward--despite repeated attempts to do so until I gave up in frustration.
I'm at work this morning but will post about Taran's tracks when I get home today. I've taken to hitting Control+C everytime I try to post here before hitting the submit button, so I've got my response typed up and saved in a notepad file on my home hard drive. Just a matter of getting to it and getting it online for you all to view.
Anyone else having trouble with EN World's accessibility the last two to three days?
It's been going back and forth with me the last few days, too. Sometimes it's fine, others it's painfully slow. Not sure if that's traffic related or just random. I've taken to opening all the threads I want to read in individual tabs all at once, so that I can read whichever one manages to load first while the other churn (at least, that's the theory...).
After viewing the IC, I see that the post I tried to make last night actually took (despite all appearance to the contrary at the time). You all therefore have everything I'd planned for you to have.
I'm on the mend. Seems as if the entire campus here got hit with a particularly infectious brand of the common cold. I'm still coughing and generally out of breath if I attempt stairs but am otherwise better. I'm forcing myself back into a more normal routine, which includes posting.
Regarding the IC, though I've had the group re-assemble at the town garrison, my intent isn't to spend forever and a day making you guys post a possibly tedious recount of the goings on at the White Deer. We're heading toward a chapter end and are very near to that goal, so all I need from you is that you quickly debrief the sheriff (or not, depending on your whim). If the sheriff or the mayor have anything to impart to you, they'll do it here and then you lot can find a place to sleep for the night. I have a few things I may or may not drop your way from the sheriff, depending on how the report goes and where we seem to be as a whole.
