Ghost placement
Rulebook states if a player draws a non-black ghost, he places it on the matching color board (e.g. yellow player draws a blue ghost, he places it on the blue board). So were the pictures in the rulebook where one board had 2 different color ghosts (other than black) from some situation where the ghosts were moved from a previous location on a different board?
"easy Corner battle"
The rulebook made it sound like this was possible and I wanted to confirm (page 6-7 IIRC... the section with killing ghosts).....
You're in a corner with 2 ghost cards to fight... you roll enough to kill the ghost with less resistence, but not enough to kill the hard one. You can opt to kill the hard one instead due to the way the rulebook words this procedure?
For example
each 'X' = resistence
XXX
X YOU
you roll black blue red. You could kill the black ghost, but the rulebook makes it sound like your successful attack "ricochets" and takes out the red ghost instead? 
timing of rewards and when you die
If a card has a reward that says roll the curse die and +1 Qi/YY in that left to right order, then do have to roll eht curse die first?
If the curse die took out your last Qi, you're dead and are no longer around to get the rest of that reward, correct?

In your example you could only take out the 1 black monster. If the other had been 1 blue, 1 red or 1 black, you could have taken out both of them with your roll.
The way I understand it: You roll once and apply the results to both ghosts at the same time.

Since I was successful in rolling against one of them (the 1-black monster), I instead decide to take out the red monster intead (even though I don't have enough red to go after it, nor any Tao tokens). This part is what appears to be correct, but I highly suspect it isn't since the rulebook may have worded this incorrectly.

1) Either that, or the board was full when drawn. I.e. you draw a yellow, but yellow's board is full, so you're free to place it wherever.
2) Absolutely not. But (continuing your example) if you had rolled red, red, red, black, (for example with Green's ability) you could have taken them both out at the same time. Alternatively you could have used 2 red tao tokens if you had them.
3) Correct, do them left to right.

Your first statement is not completely correct. If both ghosts adjacent to the corner are 1-strength black, you can only take out one of them with the 1 black die.
I believe the following statement from the rules is the one which confused ackmondual:
Quote: When dice and Tao tokens combination allows the player to exorcise either of the two ghosts, the player may choose which of the two ghost cards is discarded.
The key here is the condition. In the first example (first ghost 1 black, second ghost 3 red, roll black + blue + red) the player may not exorcise either ghost; he may only exorcise the black ghost, so the above rule does not apply. In the second example with both ghosts 1 black and 1 black die rolled, they player does have a choice between the two and may exorcise either one but not both.
A third example, similar to the one in the rule book, is if with a 1-black ghost and 3-red ghost the player rolls two red and a white. In that case one could either use all three dice on the red ghost or just the white die on the black ghost, so the player chooses which ghost to exorcise.

Yet another rule I've been playing wrong for a long time in this game (the first was being able to reroll all any combat dice for green's ability—we only rerolled one).
Edit: Maybe it is time I stopped defending the much maligned rule book.

Clearly you meant 'black' instead of 'red' where I added the bold font.

Clearly. Thanks for pointing that out.
