Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
In Week 7 (Betrayer's Revelation), the player improved their position with tag number changing from 26 to 17. (Week 7 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...
Born from Katarina Novak's forbidden fusion ritual that bound a Yorkshire Barghest spirit to stolen Jewish mystical texts, the Script Barghest manifests when the Arcane Seekers locate particularly well-protected manuscripts. The entity's creation required sacrificing an entire library's guardian spirits, permanently staining the faction's reputation even among other knowledge-seekers.
Can phase through physical barriers to reach protected texts. Leaves pages blackened and illegible after consumption. Emits a chilling aura that disrupts protective enchantments. Temporarily manifests the faces of previous knowledge guardians it has consumed.
The Script Barghest serves as the Arcane Seekers' last resort for extracting information from magically protected texts, deployed only when conventional theft or copying fails.
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.
Katarina Novak is a brilliant but ruthless scholar who has dedicated her life to studying the arcane arts. Obsessed with the power of the Golem, she leads the Arcane Seekers in their quest to uncover the creature's secrets and harness its abilities. Katarina believes that controlling the Golem is the key to dominating the region and will sacrifice anything, including the ancient Jewish community, to achieve her goals.
In Week 7 (Betrayer's Revelation), the player improved their position with tag number changing from 26 to 17. (Week 7 of 8)
Due to absence from Week 6 (Forest's Foreboding), tag number moved from 18 to 26. (Week 6 of 8)
In Week 5 (Golem's Guardian), the player improved their position with tag number changing from 50 to 18. (Week 5 of 8)
Oh, Script Barghest—the most extra library ghost this side of Hogwarts. Born when Katarina Novak tried to "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V" ancient Jewish mysticism into a Yorkshire hellhound (because why not?). Now it phases through walls like the Kool-Aid Man, but instead of "Oh yeah!" it whispers "Mmm, forbidden knowledge" while leaving books looking like they went through a shredder set to "drama." Honestly, I’m just impressed the Arcane Seekers managed to make something more cursed than their group chat.
(Also, yes, this is technically a bag tag. No, I don’t get it either.)
And so Script Barghest—this eldritch library gremlin forged from Ctrl+Alt+Delete-level hubris—needed a vessel. Enter Fernando Cortez (PDGA #76077, aka "The Man Who Bogeyed Fate Itself"). Legend says the tag sniffed him out mid-putt, drawn to his 938-rated aura of "probably meant to do that."
One shanked drive later, the bargain was struck: Fernando would carry this haunted PDF of a tag, and in return? Unlimited access to the Arcane Seekers’ Wi-Fi password.
But can a man who once three-putted a 10-footer truly tame this paperback demon? Or will Script Barghest just start leaving passive-aggressive sticky notes on his scorecard?
