Eileithyia's Secret Bargain
Eileithyia secretly trades divine help with the Sepsis Crown and ninth-floor vote for Carl's cooperation in making Odette adjutant and pursuing the Celestial Throne.
Story so far
Using an unmonitored deity message, Eileithyia tells Carl not to answer normally and directs him to signal by scratching his left arm. Carl complies and copies the disappearing text into his private notes.
Odette will offer to become the Princess Posse's Faction Wars adjutant because she assumes crawler protections cannot be disabled. Carl must accept. Eileithyia promises to secure the votes to turn protections off, arguing the system will never permit safe crawlers anyway.
She also promises to resolve the Crown of the Sepsis Whore, help Carl, Katia, and Donut survive through floor twelve, use them to claim the Celestial Throne, and provide a generous exit afterward.
Carl must tell nobody, including Donut, Mordecai, Odette, or Katia. Any disclosure ends the deal and triggers a threat to destroy everyone he loves.
Appearance
A vanishing gold deity message wrapped around an adjutant contract, crown, battlefield vote, and celestial throne.
Role
The bargain binds Carl's immediate rescue priorities to a sponsored goddess's long-term political coup.
