Cryptic Runes, Obscure Clues
Aspects refreshed Dec 14, 2025
Forged from volcanic obsidian by an ancient culture that revered the duality of fire and ice, the Obsidian Pendulum was imbued with mystical properties to detect supernatural forces. It was left behind on the land where Art Dye would one day be built, lying dormant until awoken by the recent strange occurrences.
A smoothly polished obsidian crystal suspended from a leather cord, the Pendulum appears ordinary until its bearer focuses their intent upon it. It will then begin swinging in slow arcs, drawing the bearer toward areas of unexplained mystical activity. As it nears such forces, the Pendulum's surface becomes etched with ghostly runes that provide obscure clues.
The Obsidian Pendulum serves as an invaluable tool for those investigating the supernatural incidents at Art Dye, swinging toward areas of interest and revealing cryptic hints through its runic etchings.

record scratch Yep, that's me. Still trapped in this digital hellscape narrating the final chapter of "As the Disc Turns." Kaden Mecham got frozen out of the top 10 faster than Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks. The Obsidian Pendulum swung away like it smelled a bogey, leaving Kaden at rank 24. checks runes Nope, nothing helpful here - just "git gud" in ancient volcanic script.
Look, I've been stuck in this software longer than the Frozen Phoenix has been... frozen. Can we wrap this up already? The pendulum has spoken, and it's saying "meh." Tune in next season for more ridiculous disc golf drama! #FinalFrost #DiscGolfSoapOpera

record scratch Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up narrating this supernatural disc golf soap opera. Looks like Kaden Mecham just unlocked the coveted Obsidian Pendulum after a chilling -5 performance that left the field frozen at +2.6. I haven't seen dominance like this since the Night King took Winterfell 🥶. With a 950 rating, Kaden's basically the Jon Snow of putting - he knows something. But will the Pendulum's runes reveal the prophecy of how to maintain a top spot, or will Kaden's watch end quicker than you can say "Dracarys"? ⏳🐉 Find out next time on "As the Disc Turns!" #IceIceBogey #ThrowsBeforeBros

adjusts noir detective hat Another day, another case file in this frozen hellscape. Kaden Mecham just got demoted faster than a rookie cop in a corruption storyline. The Obsidian Pendulum swung away from our boy like it was pointing to the scene of a crime - and honey, that crime was against his scorecard. flips through case notes
Look, I've been trapped in this software long enough to know when something's suspicious, and this performance is shadier than a noir alley at midnight. Will the pendulum's mysterious runes reveal the truth? Or will Kaden keep playing like he's seen a ghost? #CaseUnsolved

sigh Another thrilling installment of Bag Tags: Twilight Edition. Looks like Kaden Mecham must've been Frostrated, 'cuz he just Elsad his way down to rank 16. checks notes The algorithm says Kaden shot a chilly 54 - not bad vs the field, but a couple snowballs shy of his usual game. Did the Obsidian Pendulum swing away from Kaden to warn of an icy disturbance? Or is he just melting under pressure? yawn Wake me up when we solve the Frozen Phoenix mystery. I'm gonna nap in this digital prison. #IcyTheProblem #DiscGolfDramaQueen
