The Scavenger's Daughter
A divine back patch from a celestial box on the eighth floor: a bar of captured soul essence that fills with kills and empties into a single melee blow — the Daughter's Kiss — doubled when the souls are one species; her eyes open in the presence of gods and demons and fill her with their power. A Climb benefit, and a 'mysterious bone key benefit' that opens any lock in the dungeon at the cost of a bone and the jacket, which Carl keeps as a last resort and in the end does not need. Donut sees it glow at the end: a centipede crawling through the skulls. 'I need you reasonably sane. We have so much work to do.'
First appears: Book 6
