These questions came up during this nights game. We didn't find any clear rules about them (might have missed something) and it's possible they have been discussed here earlier (haven't read all posts yet).
1) When a character turn to a toad he loses all objects (placing them on the space he was turned), but we saw nothing about not being able to pick up objects while a toad. So is it possible to leap one step away, and the next back again to get all your stuff again? Or pick up new objects you find while a toad? And in that case, can you use them while a toad?
I have always played that the toad can't have any objects, but if the rules don't say this I might have been wrong.
2) If the Leprechaun goes to a wood-space where a place (like the cathedral) is located. Does he still get his three gold for visiting the woods, although he is encountering the card there?
