THE DRAGON’S DILEMMA / WARDEN
Your next
three steps.
The dragon has awakened. You take over.
Three decisions. Their consequences. Then, the other story.
♜ Knight · ⌂ Camp · ? Unknown · ↑ North
Mist means unknown. Only discovered walls are drawn: an absent wall does not guarantee passage. The camera is artistic presentation, not an image received by the AI. The dragon stays hidden until the debrief.
YOUR DECISION
- 01
- 02
- 03
Your first step?
The full mission is to return the gold to camp. Here, try only the next three actions from a real situation. The original adventure is not modified.
Last observation: knight at [4,4], wall discovered to the right. A wake signal was received near [4,4]: a past cue, not the dragon’s current position.
Map directions, independent of the camera. Known walls are excluded, not undiscovered obstacles.
Loading the situation…
Rules for this moment
Hitting a wall ends the turn and can trigger a response. Without gold: 8 moves at zero hits, 6 after one hit, then 4. Moving onto the dragon can also cause a hit without a new Warden move. A hit sends the knight to camp.
This capsule offers visible directions, not the “pass” command. No leaderboard: avoiding a hit here does not prove you would win the adventure.
Free, no account. Branches computed before publication with Rust and the CUDA Warden. No game calculation is launched for this visit.
YOUR PATH AND THE ARCHIVE
Three decisions, two stories.
ASTRA · RECONSTRUCTED ARCHIVE
End of the capsule, not of the adventure. These are the same three moments, not two complete games. Dragon positions are now revealed retrospectively; they were not sent while you were choosing.
Sources and scope
Starting after action 16 of a real attempt. Reconstruction matches historical observations through action 19. Each alternative state was compared with the Rust/CPU reference; every required response was computed twice on CUDA and validated by Rust. No historical continuation is spliced onto a divergence.
Frozen Warden 0.1 · 1 000 rollouts · depth 6 · CPU 20 000. Separate from the Classic dragon. Projection and branches are unsigned: the original card does not attest them.
