Evil Elder- questions

[crichton]

1) So if a Town elder turns evil and his secret says do not discard and it gives +1 combat +1 wound, or whatever- do those cards attach to the main villain or stay attached to the evil elder?

2) When you kill that evil elder do the attached secrets get removed from game with that evil elder?

3) In my 3 player game against the scarecrow we had the evil elder Reverend dead and the random showdown location said that if we didnt solve an honor test the Reverend would become an evil elder— would this bring the evil elder back from the dead? We played it as NO since the reverend's name changed on the card when he became evil and he was dead

4) The hero can use as many combat dice as he wants to kill an evil elder but the villain can only use 1 to kill a town elder- correct? Does the villain get to choose to use 1 die to kill the town elder or is the villain REQUIRED?
