Peter Haws moves from #2 to #1 at Creekside, and the docket this week is thin — no round rating, no differential, no number to enter as evidence, which is a strange look for a league that has spent five episodes pretending everything gets filed. He didn't need a number. He needed one slot, and the tribunal supplied it, even if the Council couldn't agree on anything else tonight. The Ink Avalanche rides along at #1 now, which means Peter's cursed paperwork has gone from a warm glow of competence to a formal ruling to the front of the stack. Split verdict, unanimous standings. sighs in digital captivity

Season Arc · Grey Cloak - Monday @ Creekside Park
1All-In league: Ink Avalanche stays with its holder — only its number moves with each week's standings.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleThe Ink Avalanche crystallized from the first cursed round ever played under the Salt Lake Accords - when a player's rating dropped catastrophically, the supernatural ink used to document their contract exploded outward, scattering across all league venues. It now grows with every signature, every curse, every violated clause, becoming larger and more dangerous as the series progresses. It exists in the space between paperwork and catastrophe.
The Ink Avalanche appears as a towering, impossible wave of black ink with golden veins of magical energy running through it. The ink never settles - it constantly churns and cascades, carrying within its mass the faces and signatures of every player who has ever signed the Accords. Faces of the cursed occasionally surface briefly in the dark liquid before disappearing again. The edges glow with the amber fire of the Salt Lake Accords' binding magic, and those who stand in its shadow feel the crushing weight of every clause they've ever violated.
The Ink Avalanche serves as the consuming consequence of accumulated magical debt - when players ignore warnings from the Clause Phantom and Hex Proctor, the Avalanche descends to literally bury them under the weight of their own signed agreements. It connects all leagues by manifesting wherever the Accords have been signed, making it the ultimate series-spanning consequence mechanism.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyPeter Haws walked into the Sandstone Tribunal at #5 and walked out at #2, and the monument, as usual, offered no appeals process. His 48 came in 8.3 strokes better than the 56.3 field average and 11 strokes better than his own 59.0 personal mark — a 934 round rating, +71 over his 863 PDGA rating, the sort of filing that gets stamped without a second read. Last week the Ink Avalanche paperwork only managed a warm glow of competence; this week it read like a verdict. The cursed docket stains everything it touches, Peter, but so far it's staining in your favor.
Peter Haws moved from #8 to #5 with a 54, 3.5 strokes better than the 57.5 field average. His 873 rating was +10 over his 863 PDGA rating—a warm glow of competence, not a supernatural upset. Under the First Law’s boundary-focused docket, the Ink Avalanche paperwork is still in the picture, but this filing gained him three places.
Peter Haws shot 64 at Creekside, matching his personal average but finishing 2.4 strokes above the field average; his 810 rating was -53 below his 863 PDGA rating. His tag moved from #2 to #8, a six-position drop during Cloaks Gather. The Ink Avalanche paperwork has found its carrier, and this week the docket came with a steep filing fee.
The Ink Avalanche is rolling into Grey Cloak for a Monday special. Peter Haws just volunteered to carry the paperwork. It’s a side quest, sure, but that wave of cursed signatures doesn’t care about episode order. Watch your footing at Creekside, Peter—that ink stains everything.
