How do I take my turn?

Answered counted as answered

Asked with: Septimabg-360692-en-1e

When you take your turn, you fully resolve the following steps in order:[1]
1. QUICK MOVE: You may optionally move 1 space with your Leader.[1] When performing this move, you cannot yet resolve any instruction on your selected Action card.[1]
2. CARD ACTION:
a. If you are the only player who selected a particular Action in this Moon Phase, resolve the Main Ability (the upper part of the card).[1]
b. If you and another player selected the same Action, you have Matched, and you may resolve all text on the card, including the Matching Bonus (the bottom part).[1]
i. If the bonus begins with "Also," you can resolve it before or after the Main Ability.[1]
ii. If the bonus begins with "Instead," you can choose to resolve either the Main Ability or the Matching Bonus, but not both.[1]
iii. If the bonus begins with neither, it modifies the Main Ability.[1]
c. If you were the only player to select an Action but the active Septima Action marker shows the same icon as your Action card, you Match with the Septima and may resolve the Matching Bonus.[1]
3. SUSPICION: You may raise or lower the Suspicion marker on your Player board by the required number of spaces.[1] If your marker is on the top space of the Suspicion track when you need to raise it, you must:
a. If you have at least 2 Witches, place one into the Second Trial Chamber.[1]
b. If you have only 1 Witch on your Player board, lose 5 Wisdom instead (if you have fewer than 5, lose as many as possible and ignore the rest).[1]
c. Lower your Suspicion by 1.[1]
4. RITUAL ADVANCE: You resolve this step as described in the core rules.[2]
Additionally, you may cast a Spell immediately after the Quick Move or Card Action steps of "Resolve Action".[3] Each Spell can only be cast once per turn.[3]

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 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 67 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.

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.

NOT_SETUP_SHAPED — no setup-shape pattern matched this question

this game registers NO errata cards (edition 1050), 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.
