Wyvern Staff vs Boss Endings and Psionic Wand Questions

By Gigg, in Talisman Rules Questions

hi,

I was playing a game last night my friend had a Wyvern staff with a 6 strength dragon enslaved. The Wvevern staff states that this bonus lasts until the end of turn. So he Went to the Crown of Command and faced the alternate ending version of the Eagle King and used the staff. My question is does the 6 strength bonus from the Wvern staff last through all 4 lives of the Eagle king or just the first one?

Title: Wyvern Staff
Draconic Lord: Cadorus
Card Type: Magic Object
You may enslave 1 Dragon you encounter instead of attacking it in battle (place it on this card). You may discard the Staff and the enslaved Dragon to add its Strength to yours until the end of the turn.
Encounter Number: 5

Title: Eagle King

Strength: 12, Craft: 12, Life: 4

Ending Rules

  • A character on the Crown of Command must choose whether to attack the Eagle King using Strength or Craft. Each time he defeats the Eagle King, he must remove one of the Eagle King’s lives and immediately attack him again. If a character has a stand-off or is defeated, his turn ends and he must immediately move to the Crags.
  • If a character removes the Eagle King’s last life, he wins the game!
  • If there are no characters on the Crown of Command, the Eagle King heals all his lives.

Also when using items like the Psionic Wand and fighting a battle using your craft can you use objects and followers that contribute to Strength? Or would you be using objects and followers that contribute to craft.

Title: Psionic Wand

Card Type: Magic Object, Sub Type: Weapon

You may use your Craft instead of your Strength during battle.

Encounter Number: 5

1. The Dragon adds its Strength until the end of your turn, which encompasses all battles with the Eagle King!

2. If you use the Psionic Wand, you use your Craft and any Craft from Objects and Followers!

Thanks and its amazing how many rules questions you can have even after playing for years and wow that makes those staffs even stronger than I realized… If the hidden ending turns out to be a boss battle. As for the wand we ended up playing that way (only Craft objects and followers count) once i read his card (Psionic wand).
