Is this a bug? Hermit unusable in Plain of Peril

[dunbaratu]

When the card called "HERMIT" is drawn from the Adventure Deck, instead of being put in the space where it was drawn, it's put in some other random space based on a die roll. If that roll is 2, it goes onto the Plain of Peril.

The HERMIT is meant to give a talisman to the first character who "visits" it.

But due to the way Portal of Power and Plain of Peril movement works, the game isn't counting landing on the Plain of Peril after opening the Portal of Power as "visiting" the hermit.

I opened the portal with craft, successfully, and was immediately moved to the Plain of Peril, where the HERMIT card already was waiting for me, and I wasn't allowed to interact with the card and get my talisman.

Then on the the next turn, it counts as *leaving* the space with the HERMIT, so that doesn't count as landing on the hermit either, and movement up in the center region is quite different so trying to leave and land on the hermit again means having to basically go through the first trial twice - the first time just to get off the HERMIT, then move back to the HERMIT to trigger 'visiting' him, then forward again now that I have the talisman.

I'm certain this isn't how the boardgame worked. In the boardgame if you use the portal of power to move into the plain of peril that should count as landing on the HERMIT that's on the plain of peril and get you your talisman.

Weird. I played a game last night where the Hermit was placed onto the Plain of Peril. When I got there, he gave me a Talisman no problem.
