Changing alignment ability (Druid Staff) + Fate Stealer + Trophies

I have played with my friends and a few questions came up.

I would be happy if someone could give me some clarifications :)

1) Once the druid changes his alignment to "Good" or "Evil" can he turn back to "Neutral"?

it doesn't make any sense, cause while he is neutral he can keep both "No good character may have" and "No evil character may have" objects.

so the only disadvantage is when you encounter a stranger that grants wishes only for good or evil characters and in places like the chapel or graveyard..

also when a character is forced to change his alignment and he has the Druid Staff, does he have to get rid of object he may not keep and leave them in the space, or can he keep them because he chooses to change his alignment back right after with the Druid Staff?

2) If a character used the fate stealer during battle and forgot to take a fate token for his win during his turn, can he take it after? (same question about the rune sword)

3) can a character take the enemies that are on the board as trophies?

for example, can he take the spirit from the forest as a trophy, the dragon from the Cave (place card), or the sentinal and use them to get more craft or strength points?

No. The Druid may only change his alignment once per turn, irrespective of whether it was voluntary or not. Any Objects not permitted by the new alignment must immediately be ditched faceup on the space. The same rule applies to a character with the Druid Staff.

2) If a character with the Fate Stealer or Runesword forgets to take his reward for removing a life from an opponent, can he take his reward after that turn has ended?

No. He must take his reward during the turn he removed his opponent's life. Otherwise he receives nothing!

3) Does a character receive any reward for defeating creatures on board spaces?

No. A character only receives trophies for defeating Enemies with the keyword "Enemy" on its card.
