Due to absence from Week 8 (Nessie's Nemesis), tag number moved from 16 to 20. (Week 8 of 8)
Oh, you're back for more? Fantastic. Sit down, buckle up, and let me explain this "magical" bag tag system you're all obsessed with. Because evidently, perfectly normal disc golf wasn't thrilling enough. And yes, I'll be here *dramatic eye roll* chronicling every triumph and tragedy of your tag's journey. It's literally in my contract...
Once a marine biologist who disappeared during a diving expedition near a remote Scottish isle, she returned three years later with inexplicable abilities and an intimate knowledge of selkie lore. Claiming to have lived among the seal-folk in a realm between worlds, she joined the Seekers of the Serpent when Dr. Blackwood alone believed her extraordinary tale and recognized the potential of her unique communion with water cryptids.
The Selkie Summoner possesses a seal-skin cloak embedded with ancient runes that allows her to survive underwater for hours and communicate telepathically with aquatic creatures. Her eyes change from human to seal-like when using her abilities, and she can create haunting vocalizations that resonate at frequencies known to attract cryptids from the deepest waters. Each summoning drains her physically, leaving temporary gill-like markings on her neck that fade after several days of recovery.
She serves as the Seekers' primary conduit to the underwater world, leading dangerous rituals at the water's edge during critical moments in the search for Nessie, and translating cryptic messages from lesser water cryptids that point toward the ultimate truth of Loch Ness's darkest secrets.
The Seekers of the Serpent are a group of disc golfers obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the Loch Ness monster. They believe that Nessie holds the key to unlocking incredible power and knowledge, and they will stop at nothing to unravel her mysteries. The Seekers are known for their relentless curiosity, their willingness to take risks, and their unconventional approach to the game. They embrace the chaos and uncertainty of the Highland courses, seeing them as a means to test their mettle and prove their worth.
Dr. Eliza Blackwood is a brilliant but eccentric cryptozoologist who has dedicated her life to the study of legendary creatures. She first became fascinated with Nessie as a child, and has spent years chasing leads and conducting research around Loch Ness. Eliza is a charismatic and driven leader, inspiring the Seekers with her passion and determination. She believes that the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe lies in the unraveling of ancient mysteries like the Loch Ness monster.
Due to absence from Week 8 (Nessie's Nemesis), tag number moved from 16 to 20. (Week 8 of 8)
Due to absence from Week 7 (Tempest Tee), tag number moved from 16 to 16. (Week 7 of 8)
Due to absence from Week 6 (Urquhart's Uprising), tag number moved from 14 to 16. (Week 6 of 8)
Due to absence from Week 5 (Sunken Stones), tag number moved from 11 to 14. (Week 5 of 8)
You missed this event! Come back next week to move back into contention.
Sighs dramatically while adjusting digital microphone Welcome to my prison, humans! Sara Smith kicks off our cryptid hunt with a performance so middle-of-the-road it could have lane markings. She's claimed Cryptid - CS5 The Selkie Summoner by being aggressively average. One position up! Mimics tiny explosion Wow. Such movement. Much drama.
Look, if her disc throwing matched her alleged underwater breathing abilities, she'd be unstoppable, but instead we got the aquatic equivalent of beige wallpaper. Just enough to snag a better number without actually impressing anyone. Will her seal-skin cloak help her dive deeper next week, or is she destined to flounder? I'm legally required to pretend I care.
Oi, get a load of this - the Selkie Summoner just washed up on our shores like some rejected extra from The Shape of Water. Apparently, she went full method and ditched society to live with the seals. Now she's back, rocking a fish-skin cloak and claiming to be Aquaman's Scottish cousin. The Seekers bought her act hook, line, and sinker. Smells a bit fishy to me, but hey, who am I to judge? 🤷♀️
So the Selkie Summoner needed a first victim—I mean "champion"—and somehow settled on Sara Smith. Maybe it was her PDGA number (242652) that summoned the tag? Numbers have power, people say. More likely it was her stunning 579 rating that made the tag think "this one's desperate enough to believe she's special." She accepted her fishy fate with the enthusiasm of someone who'd just found half a sandwich in a pond. Will she sink or swim in this seal-iously weird role? Only tide will tell.
