Story so far
When Eileithyia entered the realm, the system announced her presence and declared that the Scavenger's Daughter opened her eyes and filled with power, granting the floor-wide temporary effect: all damage against female opponents quartered, and all female party members striking at 500% melee power.
When Katia had made her choice and gone, and the goddess faded away, the Scavenger's Daughter closed her eyes and the benefit faded. The framing brackets the whole tent sequence — the boon, the execution of Huanxin Jinx, and Katia's goodbye.
Role
The system framing device whose opened eyes deliver the goddess's floor-wide combat boon.
Relationships
