Scratch is the gruff bartender of the Three Eyed Fish, a local who wears irritation like armor—especially when the party’s chaos returns to town. Despite his attitude, he can be coaxed into sharing what he knows, and his information carries the weary tone of someone who has watched trouble ripple outward. In this session he claimed Mulch fled Arimachi due to “bad energy” and pointed the party toward Stay Wild and the Feywild trail.
