In (101 chronological) Eye of the Storm, when Saroth and Scratch came together with Sean in the mix, Scratch was changed into a dragon. But in (169) Roses and Thorns he was a tiger again. How and when did this happen? Is there an appearance between these that isn't listed at Character Appearances? Was a story written between these that didn't make it into the archives to explain it?

Did he survive Winter Assault (or his next confrontation with Saroth)? Did he leave the keep?
As I ask these questions, I'm only up to (330) Never Again a Man, so if more has happened between that and 460, just indicate that it's coming up.

Scratch is another characters who's arc was derailed by the author leaving the setting. So far as I know, the author has left the TSA completely. I've not seen a trace of them on the internet in a number of years.

Scratch, being one of the earlier authors in Metamor Keep, came up with a plotline that had connections to a lot of different other plotlines. Raven's latest story brings Scratch back from a pilgrimage/wandering that he went on that is also not chronicled, but which was planned by the author.

I do not recall the details of his plans, only that he had them, just never wrote them.

Scratch had a few stories in varying degrees of progress that were supposed to explain what happened to his character. He basically had draconian and feline forms that were sort of fighting for dominance, if I recall correctly. By the time he comes back to the keep in A Presence of Thieves he has learned to control these changes.

Scratch was supposed to die in a one-on-one battle with Lilith's draconian general in the Starchild Battle; manifesting his dragon wings, he met the general in an aerial duel over the battlefield. The general mortally wounded Scratch, but he held on to the general and injured his wings, dragging him down to their shared death. The loss of their commander halted the advance of Lilith's forces, taking pressure off the Keepers and buying time until Merai made her appearance.

Now that we're going with the "corruption of Merai" storyline, I don't know what Scratch's fate is likely to be.

OK, I finally got up to this point (A Presence of Thieves) after a few months of rabid reading.
