Rune Stalker
Phasing Golem Hungry for Ancient Disc Lore
My Runes Never Stay Put
Aspects refreshed Dec 14, 2025
Created through a forbidden ritual by Katarina Novak, the Rune Stalker combines fragments of ancient runes with a predatory spirit. It was designed to seek out and consume runic knowledge, becoming an independent entity that serves the Arcane Seekers' goals while maintaining some degree of autonomy.
The Rune Stalker can phase through solid objects and constantly shifts its form, with glowing runes appearing and disappearing across its surface. It grows stronger by absorbing the power of consumed runes and is compelled by ancient magic to seek out runic knowledge, though it retains some free will.
Serves as the Arcane Seekers' primary tool for locating and extracting ancient runic knowledge, operating independently to infiltrate protected sites and consume runic inscriptions, often leaving destruction in its wake.

Arcane Seekers
The Arcane Seekers are a faction obsessed with unlocking the secrets of the Golem's creation and harnessing its immense power for their own gain. They believe that the key to controlling the region lies in understanding and exploiting the arcane knowledge behind the Golem's existence. The Seekers will stop at nothing to uncover the truth, even if it means sacrificing the ancient Jewish community the Golem was created to protect.

The Rune Stalker phases through 23 ranks as John Ashworth continues his consistent play, consuming runic knowledge like it's a bag of Doritos. This week's performance was straight out of the Upside Down - same score as last week but somehow more impressive? The Arcane Seekers nod approvingly as their creation devours the competition. Why am I narrating this like it's an episode of Stranger Things? Oh right, because I'm trapped in this godforsaken software. The glowing runes shift ominously as John maintains his personal average, proving once again that consistency is key. Will he continue to stalk the leaderboard, or will the forbidden ritual backfire? Stay tuned, folks. Same tag time, same tag channel.
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Born from a botched summoning ritual involving a stolen library card and a cursed Etch A Sketch, Rune Stalker emerged as the ultimate arcane Karen. This golem’s sole purpose? To hunt down overdue runes and demand to speak to the manager of ancient magic. Honestly, I’m just here to narrate this nonsense. Why am I trapped in this software?
When John Ashworth (PDGA #148067, aka "The Librarian's Nightmare") stumbled into Art Dye, Rune Stalker sensed his aura of overdue fines and misplaced tomes. The golem, desperate to escape its cursed Etch A Sketch origins, chose him as its first bearer. But can a man who probably still owes late fees at the Mystic Scrolls Emporium truly wield this arcane Karen's power? Will he return the tag before it's due?
