Asked with: Ghost Fightin' Treasure Huntersbg-146312-en-1e

On their turn, each player must perform actions in the following order:[1]

1. Roll the movement die (the numbered die).[1]

2. Reveal a Ghost Card if necessary.[1]

* If a Ghost icon appears on the movement die, flip over the top Ghost Card from the draw pile and place it beside the board to form a discard pile.[1]

* If there is a letter on the card, place a Ghost Figure in the room with the matching letter.[1]

* If the flipped card is the Shuffle Card, collect all cards (draw pile and discard pile), shuffle them together, and set them beside the board as a new draw pile.[1]

3. Move up to the number shown on the die.[1]

* A player may choose to remain on their current space, but must still roll the die and draw a card if necessary.[2]

* You may move through rooms (each room counts as one space) and through the hallway (each square is one space).[1]

* You must enter and exit rooms through a door.[1]

* You may not move diagonally.[1]

* You may not move through locked doors (blue or green).[3]

* You may move through spaces occupied by other Treasure Hunter Movers in the hallway, but you may not stop in an occupied space.[1]

* If you cannot move past another mover, you must stop in the first empty space behind them.[1]

* Moving ends if you pick up or drop off Jewels, or fight Ghosts.[2]

4. Pick Up/Drop Off Jewels.[1]

* If you end your move in a room with a Treasure Jewel, you may pick it up and place it in your mover's backpack.[2]

* A mover can only carry one Treasure Jewel at a time.[2]

* If you move outside the house with a Jewel, your movement ends and you drop the Jewel in a pile beside the door.[2]

5. Fight Ghosts.[1]

* If you end your move in a room with a Ghost Figure, you must fight it.[2]

* To fight a Ghost Figure, roll 1 Battle Die (the die with symbols).[2]

* If you roll the Ghost Icon, you may remove 1 Ghost Figure from the room.[2]

* If at least 1 other player is in the room, the player whose turn it is may roll 2 Battle Dice; each Ghost Icon rolled removes 1 Ghost Figure from the room.[2]

* If you roll a Haunting or a Blank, take no actions and there is no penalty.[2]

retrieval — what the passage search returned

what this block IS: the PASSAGE SEARCH's own results — the same search that fills this page's closest-passages list — and NOT the passages the answerer read. Answering runs its OWN retrieval: a far wider candidate pool, re-ranked down to a final handful, plus floors this search never applies — the base rulebook, surviving errata corrections, and one slot per book on a multi-book read. Each of those armed only if THIS ask sent what it needs: the boost block names the ids it forwarded, and the scope line names the books it read. A document the answer CITES that no row here names is therefore EXPECTED, not a defect: two searches, two candidate pools, two orders. The answerer's own final rows are shown in their own block below, beside these and never mixed into them.

score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. This ruling ran the THREE-ARM fuse (full-text + vector + the doc-priority boost arm, which carried the base rulebook and/or the errata corrections this query matched), whose arithmetic ceiling is 0.04918 — all three arms ranking the same chunk #1 (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60). The measured healthy band 0.016–0.033 was measured on TWO-arm asks and does not bound this one: its high end is the two-arm ceiling, and a third arm has room above it. A chunk only one arm ranked highly lands near 0.016 (that one arm's #1 vote), so 0.03 here is an excellent hit, not a 3% match.

per-arm ranks (the rank each search arm gave a chunk): NOT DISCLOSED by the gateway. Fusion happens gateway-side and only the FUSED score crosses the wire, so rulesage cannot show them without a gateway change. The rank column below is the FUSED rank (position in the returned list), which is real.

token count per chunk: NOT DISCLOSED — chunk token counts are not reported on the ask path. The character counts below are of the bounded snippet/quote rulesage actually received — a real measurement of what we hold, never an estimate of the chunk.

what the answerer read — the passages it actually had in front of it

what this block IS: the passages the ANSWERING read put in front of the answerer, in the order it read them — the other half of the two reads described above, and the one that decides what the answer could possibly say. Each row names the book it came from and where in that book it sits, what it scored when the search arms were fused, which arm carried it there, and whether the re-ranker chose it or a floor guaranteed it a slot. A row here that no passage-search row names is EXPECTED: a far wider pool, re-ranked, with floors the passage search never applies.

candidate pool: the answering read scored 49 passages, out of a ceiling of 80 set gateway-side. Both figures are reported by the gateway for THIS ask — measurements of what actually happened, not constants read out of anyone's source and printed here on faith.

floors armed for this ask: the base rulebook — armed · surviving errata corrections — not armed · one slot per book on a multi-book read — not armed. Every floor is stated on every ask, armed or not, so a floor that did not apply here is never mistaken for one this app does not know about.

arms fused for this ask: vector + full-text + the doc-priority boost arm. Stated separately from the rows because an arm that ran and carried nothing is a different fact from an arm that never ran.

generation — timing and the path taken

timing split: retrieval 127 ms · first delta 3137 ms · total 6100 ms (retrieval and first-delta both measured from the START of gateway work, so first-delta INCLUDES retrieval — do not subtract)
full breakdown: queued 0 ms · retrieval 127 ms · ask 5971 ms · gateway work 6100 ms · total 6100 ms
tokens in (the prompt the answerer read): 4451

live seat (read from the running child): answering — gemma4:26b think:false · num_ctx 32768 (live-verified 16s ago)
answerer host (measured by rulesage): reachable (for 22h, checked 5s ago)
answerer node (the seat proxy's own header — this probe, not this ask): node1
stream path: streamed — the gateway pushed at least one accumulated draft
watchdog: first-token watchdog: 30s per arming window (rulesage.table.first-token-watchdog-seconds), re-armed once by the passages frame — so the worst case before a reader falls back to polling is 60s. Whether it actually fired is a BROWSER-side decision that never reaches the server, so it is not recorded here. The stream path above is the server's half of that story: whether a delta was emitted at all.
num_ctx · think posture: both are the CHILD's settings, not rulesage's, and no ask reply carries them — an answer never states which context window or think posture produced it. The live-seat line above reads them from the running child instead, where the gateway can answer for itself; it describes the child NOW, not this ask.

disposition

outcome: ANSWERED — Answered
abstain rationale (n/a — this ruling answered): answered — no abstain rationale applies

setup-shape — why the checklist band did or didn't render

decision: NOT_SETUP_SHAPED — no setup-shape pattern matched this question

errata registry — what the gate above had to match against

this game registers NO errata cards (edition 1014), so "no registered errata card matched" above could never have matched one

Errata scope: the gate above matched this ruling's own edition only. When an ask also reads an expansion, that expansion's own registered errata cards stay outside the match — a stated phase-1 limitation, not a failed lookup.
