'''Scratch''' is a dog and a potential [[camp follower]] encountered in the [[Forest]] during [[Act One]]. | |||
== Overview == | |||
=== Background === | |||
Scratch was the dog of [[Gomwick]], a courier who worked for Sword Coast Couriers. The pair were making a delivery to Baldur's Gate when a group of gnolls attacked them. Gomwick forced Scratch to flee, but he himself died in the attack. Scratch later returned to find his master and, thinking him merely injured, waited patiently by his side for him to wake. | |||
== | === Recruitment === | ||
Scratch can be recruited as a | Scratch can be recruited as a camp follower and familiar. | ||
He is found in the Forest, west of and above {{Coords|69|476|Owlbear Nest}}. Scratch will be defending the body of his dead master, a messenger named Gomwick. The player can comfort him and urge him to follow them back to their camp. Scratch will not leave his master's side, but will find his way to the [[campsite]] during the next long rest. Doing so will also reward 15 [[experience]]. | |||
Shouting at the corpse will turn Scratch hostile. | Shouting at the Gomwick's corpse will turn Scratch hostile. | ||
== Act Three == | == Involvement == | ||
=== Camp === | |||
After he has been at camp for a while, Scratch will bring the player an item called [[Scratch's Ball]]. Succeeding in a [[Strength]], [[Sleight of Hand]], or [[Animal Handling]] check, or by using [[Speak with Animals]], will allow the player to take the ball. While Scratch's Ball is in someone's inventory, they may summon Scratch as a [[Find_Familiar#Scratch|familiar]]. Scratch can find a variety of hidden items, and is also the only familiar capable of the [[Help]] action. If his ball is lost in some way other than throwing it into a chasm, Scratch will have a spare one at camp. | |||
While in camp, Scratch can also be pet, and will play fetch, retrieving his ball if it is thrown. | |||
If the [[Owlbear Cub]] is recruited, one night, during a long rest, sounds of distress will be heard coming from the cub and Scratch. Hurrying towards the sound, the player will find Scratch and the owlbear lying together. Without animal speech, the player can pass an Animal Handling check to discover that the two have become friends. Otherwise, Scratch will explain that he is comforting the cub, after he had a nightmare of his time in the goblin camp. Scratch will share that he used to sleep under Gomwick's coat as a pup, and that he thinks Gomwick would be happy that he is travelling with his new master – a little surprised at himself for calling the player as such. | |||
=== Act Three === | |||
In [[Rivington]], the player can visit [[Sword Coast Couriers]], the messenger service that employed Gomwick and Scratch. The dog kennels adjoined to the building are overseen by the abusive [[Angry Mar'hyah]] and her put-upon assistant [[Oyster Boy Dringo]]. Talking to Mar'hyah presents the option of summoning Scratch, after which Mar'hyah will attempt to take the dog back. | In [[Rivington]], the player can visit [[Sword Coast Couriers]], the messenger service that employed Gomwick and Scratch.

The player must pass an [[ability check]] in order to keep Scratch. Passing a subsequent ability check will banish Angry Mar'hyah from the game entirely. | The player must pass an [[ability check]] in order to keep Scratch.
