Zetch

"Prior Oskar Duskshade text in this Notes cell was cross-row contamination. Zetch/Rubber is the VQU student who bounces and later forms a thrown-murderball combat rhythm with Vic Vaurr. In Act 5 New Goblin City, Zetch risked the boost pit to revive Vic Vaurr with a potion, then used the confusion of Hugo Drider’s Darkness to maul a Demagio collector with the chained box. Canon clarification: Zetch survived the New Goblin City field trip with the VQU student trio, acquired a goblin slingshot, and splits back toward VQU before the Castro attack begins."
