Victorious Faction
The Brood
The Brood is a mysterious group of disc golfers who have fallen under the sway of the monsters. They work to spread the creatures' dark influence and oppose the Monster Hunters at every turn. Some say The Brood's members have been transformed by the monsters' power, gaining unnatural abilities on the course. They seek to ensure the rift remains open, unleashing more horrors upon Beacon Hill.

Enigma, The Shrouded One
Little is known about the figure known as Enigma, The Shrouded One. They are always seen wearing a hooded cloak and an expressionless mask. Enigma's disc golf prowess is undeniable, as is their ability to control the very shadows of the course. Some whisper that Enigma is not entirely human, or perhaps never was.

Twisted Pines
The Monster Hunters have braved deepening frost and supernatural sabotage as they defeat the rift-born Wendigo at Beacon Hill, wielding upgraded bag tags like the Wicked Wendigo and relying on Professor Hess's UV amplifiers to counter icy chaos. Skyler Hall has distinguished themselves by harnessing their tag's power to track the beast, while teamwork from Derik Thomas and Josh Rowberry has turned the tide amidst The Brood’s ambush and the monolith’s awakening. Each victory has marked a growing cost, with the unraveling course and dark sigils amplifying the division sown by The Brood’s masked leader. The pulsating runes on the ancient monolith and whispers of “shadows and hunger intertwined” have begun to reveal that the rift’s power is evolving faster than the Hunters can contain it. As environmental hazards intensify and alliances strain, bravery, unity, and ingenuity are tested against mounting darkness. But as ancient runes pulse and The Brood’s shadow deepens, the Monster Hunters sense that their most perilous battle now lies just ahead.
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
The first disc went dark mid-flight and shattered against an unseen force—no crash, just a void. 🥏🔍 At the tee pad of hole five, Captain Cassidy “Ace” Zane froze, staring at the fractured glow lines on her favorite midrange. The fairway beyond was unnaturally silent, as if the course itself were holding its breath.
By the creek bank, Professor Elena Hess crouched over a drained disc, her UV emitter casting harsh light on the Brood’s sigil etched deep into the plastic. “The phosphorescent compounds have been systematically extracted,” she observed, tone clipped. 🌑🔦 The runes matched the pattern on Shawn Hastings’s Shadowmaw Specter tag—proof that The Brood’s enforcer had been here, draining every Hunter’s glow.
Twisted pines groaned in the gathering gloom as the Invisible Man struck. 🌲🔍 No warning hiss or crackle—only distorted branches slashing at empty air. Derik Thomas let out a breathless gasp when his disc-forensics analysis registered a perfect anhyzer flight at exactly 7.3 degrees, yet the throw vanished into nothingness. “It’s hunting our light,” he muttered, eyes wide.
“Deploy the UV trip cords and mirror panels now!” Cassidy barked, voice steely. 🎯💡 Linemen cords glowed like neon veins through the grove, while improvised reflectors angled shafts of UV back into the forest’s shadows. Every tripwire and panel was a chance to force the Invisible Man into the open—and maybe catch a glimpse of Shadowmaw Specter’s true shape.
When the specter emerged, it came for the last charged disc. Cassidy drew her silver-forged putter. “Looks like a standard putter, right? Nope. Forged from blessed silver to take down lycanthropes. Saved my life at Worlds in ’07.” 🥏🌑 The specter’s maw distended, draining what little light remained, but Cassidy’s strike landed true—and the creature recoiled into writhing darkness. “There’s no such thing as a routine drive when you’re hunting monsters, kid,” she added, setting the stage for the next move.
Under the pale glow of residual UV, the team fell back to the monolith’s base. 🔍🏆 Half-buried runes glimmered with a new pattern—Brood sigils overlapping ancient script. Professor Hess recorded spectral frequencies as Cassidy pocketed the last usable disc. “These drained discs map a frequency pattern tied to the rift’s anomalies,” Hess noted. “Our next step is decoding it before Ghostly Greens.”
The night ended not with victory, but with purpose. New tactics, new data—and the clear knowledge that The Brood’s darkness could be fought with more than just light. The real battle was only beginning.
