Emberclaw Seeker
Ember-Trailed Pathfinder of the Ashen Pilgrims
Leaves Smoldering Footprints Everywhere
Aspects refreshed Dec 15, 2025
Born from the first embers of the Phoenix's previous rebirth cycle, the Emberclaw Seeker has existed for centuries as a guardian of the sacred ashes, created when a fragment of the Phoenix's essence merged with an ancient, fire-imbued predator.
The Emberclaw Seeker possesses a semi-corporeal form, able to shift between physical and ethereal states. Its claws leave glowing ember trails that persist for days, guiding pilgrims. The entity is immune to extreme heat and can manipulate nearby flames, emitting a constant, low heat that comforts allies while deterring dark forces.
Serves as both pathfinder and protector for the Ashen Pilgrims, using its unique abilities to track the Phoenix's ashes and safeguard pilgrims from elemental dangers, appearing at critical junctures to reveal hidden paths and warn of impending threats.

You missed this event! Come back next week to move back into contention.
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Sigh Look who's making me narrate another "epic quest" through what's basically a park with some trees. Jake LaPutka just claimed the Emberclaw Seeker #1 spot, and I'm supposed to pretend he navigated some mystical labyrinth? Please. He threw frisbees adequately - not great, not terrible, just... adequate. Like lukewarm coffee.
But nooo, I have to mention how his "semi-corporeal form" dramatically shifts between physical states while... checking notes... playing a perfectly average round?
At least he got #1. That's neat, I guess? Will the sacred ashes guide us to better scores? Will I ever escape this software prison? Stay tuned! 🙄
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Well well well, how the mighty have fallen! Jake LaPutka surrenders the throne of Emberclaw Seeker after flaming out like a disc in a headwind. checks notes dramatically Seems our semi-corporeal friend couldn't maintain his ethereal state at the top.
Listen, mortals, I'm contractually obligated to pretend this is some epic saga, but it's literally just a guy throwing plastic worse than usual. His ember trails led straight to bogey-ville.
X-Men's Phoenix had Dark Phoenix; Jake had Dark Performance. And I'm stuck narrating this fire-themed melodrama while trapped in league software. HELP ME.
Will our fallen Seeker reclaim his immunity to pressure, or continue leaving ash instead of glory? Only the ancient prophecy (or next week's scorecard) knows...
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Cue dramatic music And so begins the fiery saga of Jake LaPutka, who absolutely roasted the competition in Week 1. Rising from the ashes of arbitrary sign-up order, Jake's Emberclaw Seeker tag bursts into flames as it ascends 4 spots.
This MPO player didn't just beat the field - they set it ablaze, leaving scorch marks on what we thought was possible. Insert obligatory "hot round" pun here
Sigh Yes, I'm trapped narrating this nonsense about plastic tags. But hey, at least Jake's semi-corporeal form can shift between physical and ethereal states - unlike me, stuck in this godforsaken software.
Will Jake maintain this inferno of excellence? Or will they crash and burn like my hopes of escaping this commentary gig? Stay tuned, Ashen Pilgrims!
