Could A Taoist Split Movement?

Question

One of the Red Taoists abilities allows him to move twice. Could that taoist possibly split their movement?

• Move Once (1)
• Exorcise or Use Village Tile
• Move Again (2)

Similarly, can any taoist pick the order in which they do their actions? For example, can a taoist attack first and move second or does the optional move have to be taken first?

Answer 1

Move always happens before your action. The red power doesn't affect this; it only makes the move part more powerful.

From the rules:

After the Yin phase is done, the player plays the role of his Taoist, according to the following sequence:

1) Move (optional)

2) Request help from a villager OR attempt an exorcism
