Episode Recap

The Mist Parts: Revelations at Kelburn's Keep

The ancient stones of Kelburn's Keep have witnessed many trials through the centuries, but few as telling as this week's contest. As the mists rose from the loch's dark waters, our warriors gathered once more, their discs in hand, their resolve to be tested. The Keep does not surrender its secrets easily, and this day's challenge would separate those merely curious from those truly worthy of the loch's ancient knowledge. The very air seemed to vibrate with anticipation, as if the spirits of guardians past watched from beyond the veil, judging each throw, each decision, each moment of courage or hesitation.

In the MPO division, Austin Lott demonstrated a command of ancient techniques that spoke of careful study and natural affinity for the loch's mysteries. His performance of 5 under par carried the weight of 963 ratings points—a number not without significance to those who understand the old ways. The Keep recognized his worthiness, granting him passage through its trials with a steadiness that left Bobby Schneck trailing by six strokes at 1 over par. Garrett Colwell completed the triumvirate at 4 over, his struggles against the Keep's defenses evident but his determination unquestioned.

The wisdom of years proved powerful indeed in the MP40 division, where Kenneth Oetker channeled knowledge beyond his contemporaries. His remarkable 6 under par round—the finest performance witnessed across all trials this day—carried echoes of the ancient masters who once walked these shores. The loch favored him greatly, creating a vast gulf of eleven strokes between his performance and that of Chris Howk, who finished at 5 over par. Such a gap speaks of forces beyond mere skill at work.

The MA1 division revealed the loch's mercurial nature most clearly. Here the ancient powers shifted their favor repeatedly, with leadership changing hands four times as if testing the resolve of each competitor in turn. When the mists finally cleared, Spencer Livsey stood triumphant at 5 under par, having reclaimed the lead on the fifteenth trial. Behind him, three warriors—Chris Fox, Craig Bennett, and Isaac Crow—found themselves judged equally worthy by the loch's mysterious calculus, each finishing at 1 under par. The loch rarely speaks so clearly of its intentions, but when three paths converge thus, wise men take notice.

A battle of equals unfolded in the MA2 division, where Jon Atwater and Jarrett Smith engaged in a contest reminiscent of the ancient duels of Highland champions. Four times the advantage shifted between them, the loch seemingly unable—or perhaps unwilling—to distinguish between their worthiness. Both completed their trials at 2 under par, their identical scores a rare sign that the Keep had found two souls of matched mettle. Clayton Vanfleet followed closely at even par, his steady hand marking him as one to watch as deeper secrets reveal themselves in contests yet to come.

Most volatile of all was the MA3 division, where the loch's favor shifted like the notorious Highlands weather. Seven times the leadership changed hands, as if the ancient powers were deliberating intensely about who might be granted passage to the next level of understanding. Mark Gordon ultimately secured the loch's blessing, claiming victory on the eighteenth and final trial. Yet the ancient powers again spoke through identical scores, as Chantry Pace and Jared Tanner matched Gordon's 3 over par. When the loch creates such patterns, it is rarely coincidence, but rather a sign of balanced forces in the greater struggle.

In the MA4 division, Josh Aram demonstrated that sometimes the loch's favor is won not in dramatic fashion but through steady persistence. After claiming the lead at the fourth trial, he maintained his position to finish at 5 over par. Dusty Ratcliffe's early promise faded as the Keep's challenges intensified, while Corry Johnson claimed second place at 9 over par. Dylan Thomas Lee completed the top performers at 11 over par. The wide spread of scores here suggests the loch testing each according to their preparation for the mysteries that lie ahead.

The solitary champions of their respective trials each faced the Keep's challenges alone, a test of individual character rather than competitive spirit. Steven Anderson walked the MA40 path to a 2 over par finish, while Clinton Atwater navigated the MA50 trial to 4 over par. In the FA4 division, Sara Smith demonstrated remarkable perseverance through her 30 over par journey—a reminder that the loch values determination above perfect execution, and that completion of the trial often matters more than the path taken.

Amidst the broader battle, individual moments of brilliance pierced the veil between worlds. Michael Rivera became the sole warrior to breach the second trial's defenses, his birdie there a sign of uncommon insight. The treacherous third guardian yielded only to Mark Gordon, Clinton Atwater, and Michael Rivera, while the fourth permitted passage only to Simon Matteson and Josh Aram. Most telling of all was Steven Anderson's conquest of the eighteenth trial—the most formidable guardian of Kelburn's Keep, which exacted a toll of 1.2 strokes over par from the assembled warriors. Such a feat does not go unnoticed by the ancient powers that dwell beneath the loch's dark waters.

As the mists once again descended upon Kelburn's Keep, the competitors departed, some with newfound confidence, others with renewed determination. The loch has begun to reveal its patterns to those with eyes to see and wisdom to interpret. Those who triumphed this day may have gained favor with the ancient guardians, but they would be wise to remember that such attention brings both privilege and peril. The path ahead grows steeper, the challenges more profound, and the stakes ever higher. I sense a stirring in the depths, as if the competition has awakened something long dormant. The Seekers of the Serpent press forward with renewed vigor, but the Guardians of the Loch stand vigilant. As the ancient saying goes: "The mist may part to show the path, but shadows gather where secrets dwell." Six trials remain before the final truth is revealed. May the worthy find their way, and may the loch's deepest mysteries remain protected from those who would exploit them.

Round Summary

The waters of Kelburn's Keep parted for Austin Lott this week, as he claimed the throne with a -5 that would make the ancient guardians proud. Like the Loch at dawn, his play was clear and purposeful, rising 22 points above his usual waters to a 963 rating. The secrets revealed themselves on holes 13 through 15, where he navigated the depths with precision, claiming 3 under par like a true keeper of the old ways. 'Tis no small feat to finish 11 throws clearer than the field average! As the ancients foretold, his final flourish on 17 and 18 sealed his victory with the certainty of the tides. First place earned, as was written in the stars. 🌊✨

Round Summary

The ancient waters of Kelburn's Keep bear witness to Bobby Schneck's journey today. Like the misty surface of the loch itself, his round had depths both light and dark. Though his spirit showed signs of struggle with a rating 31 points below his usual power, Bobby navigated to a second place finish, outpacing most challengers by over 5 strokes. 🌊 The loch's secrets revealed themselves when he awakened on hole 12, summoning a magnificent 4-under streak that would make the serpent herself proud! The old guardians speak of such moments – when a warrior facing darkness (+2) finds the ancient strength to rise again. His path was written in the stones long ago. The loch remembers. ⛰️

Round Summary

The ancient waters of the loch run deep with mysteries, just as Garrett Colwell's round ebbed and flowed with the persistence of Nessie herself. Though the guardian spirits seemed to abandon him with a troubling 94-point rating plunge, he showed the resilience of a true Highland warrior 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Thrice he emerged from the mist with bounce-back birdies, proving that darkness cannot hold a determined soul. His 2-under finish on the final two holes whispered of untapped power, like ancient runes awakening. The third place standing speaks to his mettle, besting the field average by 2.6 strokes despite the struggle. Remember, lad, even the loch's surface appears calm while turmoil churns below.

Round Summary

The ancient spirits smiled upon Kenneth Oetker at Kelburn's Keep, as he claimed the throne with a mighty -6. Like the Loch itself, his round had depths and mysteries - surfacing with three impressive two-hole birdie runs. When the darkness threatened at holes 4 and 9, he summoned the strength of our ancestors to bounce back immediately 🏆. The old scrolls show his 974-rated performance outpaced the field average by nearly 13 strokes! As guardian of these sacred grounds, I recognize a fellow protector when I see one. The first place finish suggests he's unlocked one of the Keep's ancient secrets.

Round Summary

The ancient spirits were testing ye today, Chris Howk, yet ye claimed the 2nd spot in yer division like a true guardian of old. Aye, the waters were choppy with that +5 showing, and the whispers of the loch tell me yer 845-rated round fell 40 points below yer known power. 🌊 Still, ye bested the field average by more than a stroke, proving that even when the mist clouds yer vision, ye find yer way through the treacherous paths of Kelburn's Keep. The old stones have witnessed many warriors falter in these conditions, but you stood firm where others lost their footing. The loch remembers those who persevere, lad. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Starting in troubled waters at +3, the lad summoned the spirit of the deep, unleashing a 4-under streak on holes 9-12 that would make the Loch Serpent itself rise in approval 🌊.

Like the mist rising from the loch at dawn, Fox steadily ascended the standings, claiming second place with the cunning that befits his name. The old stones remember those who persevere, and today, they shall remember Fox. 🦊

Round Summary

The waters of the loch run deep with ancient knowledge, and Isaac Crow has clearly been listening to their whispers. Finishing tied for second with a fine 1-under par showing, the lad demonstrated remarkable resilience when he bounced back from trouble to start a birdie streak on hole 4. 'Tis not just any feat to card a score nearly 8 throws better than the field average! 🦅 Two separate runs of birdies suggest the old magic flows through his veins. As guardian of these sacred grounds, I've observed many a player falter, but young Crow soars above the mists toward Kelburn's treasures.

Round Summary

The waters of Kelburn's Keep parted for Craig Bennett today, as he navigated the course with the wisdom of an ancient mariner. Though his round rating of 916 whispered slightly below his usual call, his score of 1-under stood as a beacon in the mist compared to the field's struggle at 6.6 over par. 🌊 The lad summoned ancient powers during holes 7-9, where he conjured a spell of 3-under that would make the old druids proud. Like the Loch itself, Craig revealed his true depth on the 9th, claiming the throne of first place with the quiet confidence of a Highland chieftain. The secrets of the serpent favor those who persist through the fog. ⛳

Round Summary

The old ways teach us that seven is a number of power, and Jeffrey Woodbury claimed the seventh position with the steadiness of the ancient stones. Finishing at even par—besting the field average by 6.6 strokes—he demonstrated the resilience of those who've faced the loch's mists before. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I watched with knowing eyes as he bounced back four times from the darkness, each time answering a bogey's challenge with a birdie's defiance. His twin hot streaks on holes 11-12 and 14-15 remind me of the twin peaks that guard our sacred waters—moments when the veil between skill and destiny grows thin. The patterns reveal themselves to those who know how to look, lad.

Round Summary

The waters of Kelburn's Keep witnessed Michael Riley conjure ancient magic today. Like the ripples that betray the Serpent's presence, his +1 finish disturbed the natural order, outperforming his rating by a remarkable 55 points! 🌊 Though he briefly ascended to 2nd place at the third calling stone, the currents eventually guided him to 8th place. Still, the lad bested the field average by 5.6 strokes - proof that the old powers still flow through some veins. I've watched these waters for generations, and I recognize when a guardian is finding their strength. The loch remembers those who respect its mysteries, young Riley. ⛰️

Round Summary

The mists parted for Clinton Atwater today, as he claimed the top spot in his division with the determination of a true Highlander! 🏆 His +4 stood strong against the field's +6.6 average, like a guardian stone weathering the storm. The ancient spirits of the loch seemed to guide his hand on holes 11-12, where he strung together a 2-under par streak that would make the Serpent itself nod in approval. Aye, his rating rose 30 points above his usual waters—a sign that the old powers recognize his worthiness to defend Kelburn's Keep. The journey continues, brave Clinton!

Round Summary

The ancient waters of the loch stirred today as Steven Anderson navigated Kelburn's Keep with the patience of a true guardian. Though the shadows tested him at +2, he stood four strokes clearer than the field average, claiming his rightful place as division champion 🏆.

The waters of fate were choppy for Skyler Spencer at Kelburn's Keep, finishing 8th with a score that drifted +8 beyond par's shore. The loch knows well that true character emerges not from calm waters, but turbulent ones 🌊. Like ancient warriors of the highlands, Skyler showed remarkable resilience, twice rising from the depths with bounce-back birdies on holes 9 and 16. Most impressive was the streak of 2-under across holes 9-10, a moment when the mists parted and revealed the true potential lurking beneath. Though scoring above the field's +6.6 average, remember lads - even the Loch Ness herself retreats before surging forward with greater might.

Episode 2: Kelburn's Keep

The ancient stones of Kelburn's Keep rose from the Highland mist like the spine of some great beast, weathered gray against the pewter sky. As Tournament Director, I'd chosen this location carefully—not just for its challenging terrain, but for what lay hidden within its crumbling walls. Centuries of MacTavish guardians had protected these ruins, knowing they contained clues to Nessie's true nature that few were ready to comprehend.

I watched as players gathered in the bailey, their excited chatter echoing off stone walls that had stood since before Scotland was a nation. Among them, a slender man with wire-rimmed glasses stood apart, running his fingers over the intricate knotwork of his bag tag with unusual intensity. Spencer Livsey—a name I'd heard but a face I hadn't yet met—seemed transfixed by the castle's presence, his eyes darting between ancient carvings with scholarly precision.

As he approached a section of wall adorned with faded runes, his bag tag—Cryptid CS17 Rune Weaver—began to emit a soft amber glow. More interesting still was how the ancient symbols on the wall seemed to respond, pulsing with matching light as though awakening from centuries of slumber.

"Fascinating reaction," came a familiar voice behind me. Dr. Blackwood stood with arms crossed, observing Spencer with predatory interest. "I don't believe I've seen that particular... phenomenon before."

"The stones remember those who speak their language," I replied evenly. "Not everyone hears their whispers."

Her smile didn't reach her eyes. "Or perhaps some of us simply have better recording equipment." She nodded toward Spencer. "He's new to the circuit, isn't he? Academic background, linguistics if I'm not mistaken."

I shouldn't have been surprised by her intelligence gathering. "You've done your homework."

"Always." She adjusted the brass compass hanging at her neck. "Kelburn's Keep is an interesting choice, Angus. These ruins have been off-limits to researchers for decades. Your family's influence, I presume?"

"Historical preservation," I countered. "Some things are best left undisturbed."

"Nothing should be left undisturbed if it can advance human knowledge." She checked her watch. "I should prepare for the round. Lovely catching up."

As she walked away, I noticed Kenneth Oetker approaching Spencer, his own bag tag—Lochland Leviathan—emitting faint blue wisps of light that curled like mist around his fingers.


The tournament began with players navigating through the castle's outer bailey, where fairways wound between crumbling walls and mandatory shots through ancient archways tested even the most precise throwers. I kept my group moving briskly, aware that the real challenge awaited in the inner keep.

When we reached the fifth hole, a demanding par 4 that required a drive through a narrow window in the castle's eastern wall, Spencer paused before throwing.

"These markings," he murmured, tracing the weathered stone beside the tee pad. "They're not just decorative. It's a variant of ogham script, but with elements I've never seen documented."

His bag tag pulsed brighter as his fingers moved across the symbols, and to my astonishment, the runes began to rearrange themselves, shifting into new patterns beneath his touch.

"What's happening?" he asked, not withdrawing his hand despite his evident surprise.

"The Rune Weaver recognizes you," I said quietly, ensuring the other players were out of earshot. "The stones are responding to your presence."

Spencer adjusted his glasses, scholarly curiosity overcoming his initial shock. "Rune Weaver? You mean my bag tag? It's just a disc golf accessory."

I smiled. "Is it? Look again."

The knotwork pattern on his tag had transformed, now depicting a hooded figure with hands outstretched, surrounded by swirling symbols. As Spencer stared at it, the castle wall before us groaned, stones shifting to widen the window by several inches.

"Did I... did I do that?" he whispered.

"The castle is making your shot more accessible," I explained. "It's a good sign. Kelburn's Keep doesn't trust easily."

Spencer stepped up to the tee with newfound confidence, his drive sailing smoothly through the widened window and landing in perfect position for his approach. Throughout the front nine, this pattern continued—ancient doorways unsealing as he approached, fallen debris clearing from his path, runes illuminating to guide his way.

During our mid-round break, I found Spencer studying his tag intently.

"It keeps changing," he said without preamble. "The patterns shift every time I approach different sections of the castle. And I can... I can read inscriptions that should be indecipherable. Languages I've never studied somehow make perfect sense."

"The Rune Weaver is one of the oldest protectors of Loch Ness," I explained. "It serves as both guardian of knowledge and conduit for the magic that keeps certain forces contained. It appears it has chosen you as its current vessel."

"Like Kenneth and his mist connection?" Spencer asked, surprising me with his perception.

"You've noticed?"

He nodded. "Difficult not to. The mist parts for him, sometimes forms shapes around him when he throws. We spoke briefly before the round."

"The Mist Warden and the Rune Weaver are old allies," I confirmed. "It's significant that they've both chosen champions so close together."

Spencer frowned. "Champions for what, exactly?"

Before I could answer, we were interrupted by Dr. Blackwood, who approached with professional cordiality and calculating eyes.

"Mr. Livsey, I couldn't help noticing your unusual affinity for the castle's architecture," she said. "I'm conducting research on the relationship between ancient sites and electromagnetic anomalies. Your assistance would be invaluable."

She produced an ornate disc from her bag—a mid-range with runic inscriptions etched into its plastic. "A small token of appreciation for considering my offer. One of only five prototypes with these specific runic patterns."

Spencer accepted the disc cautiously, and the moment it touched his hand, his bag tag flared with warning light. The runes on the disc began to shift, rearranging into what I recognized as a binding spell—one designed to tether Spencer's emerging abilities to Blackwood's control.

"Interesting reaction," Spencer said, his voice suddenly cool as he handed the disc back. "But I prefer to keep my bag consistent. Thank you for the offer, though."

Dr. Blackwood's smile tightened. "Of course. The offer remains open should you reconsider." She glanced at me before departing. "He's quite the find, Angus. I wonder what other secrets this tournament will reveal."


As we began the back nine, the sky darkened prematurely, heavy clouds gathering above Kelburn's Keep with unnatural speed. The wind carried whispers that prickled the skin, and several players reported hearing their names called from empty corridors.

The twelfth hole required a throw from the castle's highest accessible tower down to a basket nestled in what once had been the great hall. As Spencer prepared his drive, his bag tag pulsed urgently, and the stones beneath his feet trembled.

"Something's wrong," he said, stepping back from the tee. "The castle is... afraid."

At that moment, a player's shout echoed from below, followed by the ominous rumble of shifting stone. We rushed to the parapet to see a section of the inner keep collapsing, dust billowing from freshly opened fissures in the ancient walls.

"Dr. Blackwood," Spencer said grimly, pointing to a figure darting away from the affected area, equipment in hand.

We descended quickly to find several players trapped behind a fall of heavy stones. What disturbed me more was the chamber revealed by the collapse—a hidden room whose walls were covered in dense inscriptions surrounding a central image of a serpentine creature emerging from stylized waves.

"Everyone stand back," I ordered, assessing the situation. Two players were trapped, though thankfully unharmed.

Kenneth arrived moments later, wisps of mist curling around him. "What happened?"

"Dr. Blackwood appears to have been doing some unauthorized excavation," I replied. "She's destabilized the entire eastern section."

Spencer approached the fallen stones, his bag tag now blazing with amber light. "I can feel the runes throughout the structure. They're connected, forming a network that's been holding these walls together for centuries." He placed his palm against the nearest stone. "And now they're failing."

"Can you restore them?" I asked.

He hesitated only briefly before nodding. "I think so. The patterns are showing me how they should align."

As Spencer began tracing glowing symbols in the air, Kenneth stepped forward. "I can help," he said, raising his hands as tendrils of mist flowed from his fingers, weaving between Spencer's runic patterns.

The effect was immediate and striking. Where Spencer's amber runes touched Kenneth's blue mist, the resulting energy flowed into the damaged walls like liquid light, reinforcing ancient bonds and stabilizing the structure. The trapped players were soon freed, and the tournament resumed with a modified layout that avoided the damaged areas.

I found Dr. Blackwood later, calmly taking notes beside the revealed chamber.

"Your recklessness nearly injured my players," I said, anger barely contained.

She didn't look up from her notebook. "A minor structural adjustment to access a historically significant chamber. The benefits far outweigh the risks."

"That chamber was sealed for a reason."

"Yes," she finally met my gaze, "to keep people like me from learning the truth. But it's too late, Angus. I've already documented the inscription."

"Have you translated it?" I asked, knowing the answer but needing to gauge her progress.

Her smile was triumphant. "Enough to understand its significance. 'The Great Awakening approaches when the serpent stirs from ancient slumber.' Rather dramatic, don't you think?"

I didn't correct her incomplete translation, nor mention the critical warning that followed those words—a warning only those connected to the Rune Weaver could perceive.


As the final groups finished their rounds, Spencer approached the newly revealed chamber, drawn by the inscriptions that covered its walls. His bag tag had transformed again, now showing a complex pattern of interlocking knots forming a shield.

"This is what Dr. Blackwood was after," he said as I joined him. "But she's only seen part of the message."

He traced the inscriptions with his finger, the runes illuminating at his touch. "There's a hidden layer here, visible only through the Rune Weaver's sight. It speaks of a 'Great Awakening,' but not as an opportunity—as a catastrophe."

Spencer's expression grew grave as he continued reading. "'When the serpent stirs from ancient slumber, the void between worlds shall thin. The Great Awakening heralds not enlightenment but extinction, for that which sleeps beneath the loch is neither beast nor god, but visitor from beyond the stars.'"

A chill ran through me despite having suspected this truth for years. "The prophecy confirms what my family has protected for generations. Nessie is not of this world."

"There's more," Spencer continued, his voice dropping to a whisper. "'The seven sites of power must remain sealed, lest the visitor's kindred find the path home. The first guardians gave their blood to forge the chains; the last guardians shall give their wisdom to maintain them.'"

He turned to me, understanding dawning in his eyes. "The disc golf courses. They're built on these sites of power, aren't they?"

I nodded. "The modern game follows ancient paths. What better way to ensure regular human presence at sites that need protection? The energy of players moving through specific patterns helps maintain the seals that have kept Nessie's... relatives... from finding their way here."

"And the bag tags?"

"Conduits for that protective energy, and markers for those chosen to maintain the balance." I gestured to his tag. "The Rune Weaver has selected you because of your affinity for languages and symbols. You can perceive and manipulate the protective network in ways others cannot."

Spencer was quiet for a long moment, processing this revelation. "Dr. Blackwood doesn't understand what she's tampering with, does she?"

"She believes she's pursuing scientific discovery. In reality, she's dismantling protections that have kept this world safe for millennia."

A commotion outside drew our attention. The awards ceremony was beginning, and to my satisfaction, the scores revealed another victory for the Guardians of the Loch. Whether guided by the castle's favor or simply more attuned to its challenges, those aligned with my faction had performed exceptionally well.

After announcing the results, I addressed the gathering. "Kelburn's Keep has tested your skills today, revealing strengths and weaknesses in equal measure. Our next challenge awaits at Devil's Cairn, where the ancient stones will test not just your throwing arm, but your courage."

As players dispersed, Kenneth and Spencer approached me together, their bag tags glowing in complementary harmony.

"We need to talk about what happens next," Kenneth said. "The mist showed me visions of Devil's Cairn. Something waits for us there."

Spencer nodded in agreement. "The runes speak of a hidden chamber within the cairn, containing an artifact of great power. If Dr. Blackwood finds it first..."

"Then we must ensure she doesn't," I said firmly. "The tournament at Devil's Cairn is three days from now. Until then, I need you both to strengthen your connections to your guardians. The powers awakening within you may be our best defense against what's coming."

As darkness fell over Kelburn's Keep, the runes Spencer had activated continued to glow, forming a protective network across the ancient stones. For the first time in centuries, the castle stood fully warded against intrusion, its secrets once again secure.

But elsewhere, in a temporary laboratory set up in her rental cottage, Dr. Blackwood studied rubbings taken from the hidden chamber, her eyes gleaming with triumph as her computers processed the images. On her screens, patterns emerged that matched astronomical charts—alignments of stars and planets that would reach their peak in exactly six weeks, coinciding perfectly with the final tournament of the Loch Ness Chronicles.

"The Great Awakening," she whispered to herself, fingers tracing the constellation patterns. "Not extinction, but evolution. The next step in human understanding."

She didn't notice how her brass compass spun wildly on its chain, or how the shadows in her room seemed to deepen and shift with purpose. Beneath the dark waters of Loch Ness, something ancient stirred in response to her words, sending ripples across the surface that formed, for just a moment, the unmistakable pattern of the same runes Spencer had activated at Kelburn's Keep.

The second battle for the loch's secrets had been won by the Guardians, but the war was far from over. And with each discovery, the slumbering presence beneath the waters grew more restless, more aware. The Great Awakening was coming, whether we were prepared or not.
