Sand Foundry

The Sand Foundry was born when a pressure valve burst during the first Last Stand, sending molten brass scattering across the Glen. The heated sand fused with discarded scorecards and broken tees, creating a being that thrives on transformation—taking the rough, the failed, the abandoned and reshaping them into something worthy of the Chrono-Bag Tag.

Appears as a shimmering heat haze over a brass anvil, with arms like bellows that breathe fine sand into temporary shapes. Its chest contains a tiny crucible where failed approaches glow orange before being reconstituted. The smell of hot metal and desert sage follows its presence.

Materializes after difficult rounds to collect the 'scrap' of player struggles, returning later as unexpected bonuses—found discs, saved strokes, second chances
