What a clause can bind
Three forms follow on or after. The common one binds a verb to the
owner: on opening it, 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.

An entity-owned every turn clause fires only while the player is
present with its owner; the scarecrow performs to an audience or not at
all. Note while dusk: a story-level state is referenced as a
bare word in conditions.
