CoE weekly Rulings/Clarifications 1

This is the first of weekly Rulings/Clarifications that are supposed to cover the questions from the last week. This will normally come out Monday, when possible, but I'm on vacation so I don't know what day it is. ;)

1. "can Nenya be played at the Free Council?"

2. "Can you play a minor item after you have played an item with the help of "Catch an elusive scent"?

3. "Enduring Tales:: does its "discard to the top of your play deck instead of to the discard pile" applied everytime a card is put into the discard pile, or is it applied when you discard a card for no effect, or is it limited only when you have to discard down to your handsize?"

Nigel wrote: "the card says when you discard a card from your HAND. So it doesn't apply whenever a card is put in the discard pile, only when you discard a card from your hand."

4. "Is it legal to have a pencil and paper during tournament play to record your opponent's cards (e.g., for purposes of cards like the Hunt, Riddling Talk, etc.)?"

5. "Does the influencing character need to tap after a successful influence attempt on an opponent's resources?"

6. The was a question regarding the playability of a minion One Ring with a hero company and whether it's +1 corruption to all characters in the company would be in effect.
