What a clause can bind

Three forms follow on or after. The common one binds a verb to the owner: on the player opening, where it means this entity for the rest of the clause. The verb is a single word in its -ing form, and it must be a verb the story's actions or the platform's standard actions understand.

The second form listens to a verb aimed at anything, and names the role the clause cares about. Roles belong to the action: taking has a taker and an item, so a scarecrow can watch every theft in the garden. The third form, every turn, ticks with the clock rather than reacting to an action; it is on only, since a turn is not something you react to after the fact.

  on every turn while dusk, once

An entity-owned every turn clause fires wherever its owner is, whether or not the player is there: the scarecrow performs either way, and what it says is tagged with the owner's location and the player's presence so the client decides what to show — by default it hides narration tagged absent. A , once or a dice roll is consumed off-stage all the same. Note while dusk: a story-level state is referenced as a bare word in conditions.
