Strangers: Witch and Dryad

By RedSimon2, in Talisman Rules Questions

How long do the strangers Witch (core game) and Dryad (Reaper) remain on a board space? I have the German version of the cards and I'm not quite sure. The rules of Dryad seem to imply that it stays on the board as long as it isn't defeated. The card text of Witch seems to imply it stays forever on the board space (until removed through other effects), but again I'm not sure.

Witch is permanent. Dryad, while it can't be defeated (not a Creature), will remain until someone rolls equal or less than their Craft with 2 dice. They then gain +1 Craft (if they roll higher, teleported to the Forest) and Dryad is discarded.

Thx. Yes, rolling less than craft was what I meant with "defeated".
