A few rule questions

Hello, everyone!
After playing some very enjoyable games of Talisman, me and my family/friends have some questions about some various things.

1. Does it count as a "visit" when you draw a "once per visit" card?
Ex. The Magic Stream - card, which tells you to put 4 Strength counters on the card and then lets any character who lands on the card take 1 counter and add to his own strength. Now the question is, does the player who draws the card "visit" the place and automatically takes 1 counter for himself and only placed 3 counters on the card or does he place all 4 counters on the card and has to revisit the card in another turn?

2. What happens when you lose your Talisman on the Crown of Command?
Ex. If someone uses a spell to destroy one of your Objects/Magic Objects while you're standing on the Crown of Command, what happens? Can you still be on the space, or do you have to go back? Do you only need a Talisman for the Valley of Fire -space?
Or if you're turned into a toad by the Random- spell, hence losing all your items.

3. Is it possible to evade the werewolf and the pit fiends?
Ex. By using the Cloak of Shadows -spell?

4. How do you fight against two or more enemies with special abillities?
Ex. The Trapper , who makes you roll two dice to see if you may evade him or have to fight him without rolling a die for your attack roll. If you can evade him, do you also evade the other enemy? And if you're caught by his trap (I guess) can't you roll a die vs the two(or more)?
Or if you fight any of the enemies using two dice for the attack roll, do you do that even if you're fighting a group?

5. If you land on the Portal of Power or " Sentinel" -space, can you still open the portal / fight the Sentinel and take one more step to the other region?
Ex. If just rolling a die for movement, but also if you're using some kind of teleportation. Say you use the Teleport-spell and you chose the Sentinel-space, can you fight the Sentinel and take one step to the Middle Region or do you have to wait for your next turn? (Do you need sufficient "steps"?)

Thanks in advance!
:)

If a player draws the magic stream card, he can take 1 counter for himself.

You visit the card immediately when you draw it.

nothing happens. you have only lose it.

A talisman is only needed for the valley of fire space

If you are alone on the crown of command, you can pick up any object before casting the coc spell

Creatures in the inner region cannot be evaded

If you evade the trapper, then you have not evade the other enemies.

If you are caught in his trap, then you can not roll a die if you battle with the trapper or more enemies who are fighting together.

Teleport spell is casted instead of rolling a die for movement. If you choose the sentinel space, then you have no other movement left, to take a step to the middle region.

You must wait until your next turn, and then you can roll the die, fight him, and if you win, you can move into the middle region.
