I need clarification on a few things
Every time I play I stumble upon some game mechanic I'm not sure if it's working as intended or if it's wrongly implemented. I'll try and write down those here since this board is full of players with a great understanding of the game.

- The Druid sheet state that he can change alignment at will, but during a game, when another character drew that event that makes every not-evil character miss a turn, I was not given the option to change it "on the fly". Moreover, I had the impression that alignment-change was limited to once-per-turn, meaning that, if I already changed alignment during a given turn, I wasn't given the option to do it again until my next turn. It this working as intended?

- Playing with the Ifrit Sultan on the board, I think at the start of every character turn the option to put a fire token on that space wasn't given IF there was already one there. Shouldn't be possible to put multiple fire tokens on the same space through the Ifrit Sultan?

- I always found strange that certain events that last for a certain number of turns, after being draw, are left on that space. Does it make sense? If it's then discarded through any means, its duration isn't influenced, still it is limiting the number of cards drew from that space. Is it working as intended?

1. Each character can voluntarily change their alignment only once per turn. This is written in the rulebook. But yeah, when another character draws a card, you should be able to change your alignment, and that's a bug. Well, one could argue that in Talisman all effects happen immediately after being triggered, so the Druid would not be able to change their alignment because it is too late, but this is a pretty ruthless interpretation that would come only from people who have never played a tabletop version of the game.

2. No, each space can only have 1 Fireland token on it at a time. Only the Spreading Flames Ending card allows having more Fireland tokens on a space.

3. Yeah, this is kind of stupid, but that's the correct behaviour. The FAQ states that each Event stays on the space until its effects will last and the Event will be discarded.

My understanding of the Druid class is that he can only change is alignment during his turn. So if another player draws a alignment specific card then it will affect what ever alignment he is currently on during their turn.

As for 3. that changes once the cataclysm comes into play-That particular expansion changes the way the plain of peril encounters and duration events. Specifically-all events move off the board just like the lunar events in bloodmoon do and encounters on the plain of peril require you to attack the other character and you can only take a life for your reward.

Well, I'm not super-expert, but given that the option to change alignment multiple times has been ruled out by what is written on the rule book, I don't see any other reason to write that he can change alignment "at will" than allow him to change it during other players turn. They could have written "he can change alignment once during his turn".
This said, I could be easily wrong.

I noticed that defeating an enemy with Suleiman's Seal does not get rid of the Deathstalker.
Is this a bug or is it working as intended?
