II - FAQ
Shadow Soul can be used to block an Ogre from attacking if it is placed two spaces ahead from a hero in a corridor as he has insufficient speed to reach a hero, attack, and withdraw from the space held by Shadow Soul. Is this intentional?
Yes.
On the Earth Pact skill card, when it says "if you do not move during your turn," does that refer only to normal movement (when you spend movement points to enter an adjacent space), or to all effects that alter your position (such as Shadow Soul, Knockback, using a glyph of transport, etc.)?
The Earth Pact skill card refers to all movement, including all effects that alter the figure's position.

No.
When a hero switches spaces with the Shadow Soul familiar, can the Overlord play a Trap - Space card on said hero?

Can a hero use the swap ability of his Shadow Soul familiar to move next to a glyph at the start of his turn, and then immediately return to town to Restock?
No.
Can a hero use the swap ability of his Shadow Soul familiar while he is in the Stomach tile? Subsequently, if the Shadow Soul ends up in the stomach tile, may another hero be swallowed?
