I looked around here, BBG, and the Frog wiki FAQ, but couldn't find answers for these. Hopefully it isn't because it is in some obvious place in the rulebook that I overlooked. While playing last night, we had a couple of questions about the elder bonuses:

1. When in a hunting party during a showdown, do the elders add their spirit, cunning, etc to the hero they are linked to (ie when fighting with Spirit with Brother Marcus, do I add the spirit of the elder to my attack)? We ruled "no" last night, but I said I would ask. I think only the special abilities apply to the showdown.

2. If an elder is on the board due to "On the Hunt," and is in the same square as a minion and a hero, can the hero fighting the minion use the elder's special ability, or is this only good for showdowns? We ruled "no" last night. I think special abilities are only for use during the showdown.

Thanks for the help. That was our first game with the Something Wicked expansion. We played the Unspeakable Horror, and it was really fun. You need a really big table to play both boards and all of the new decks and stuff!
