[Glorantha] Dragon eats lunar army

:Why is this a problem? Bear in mind that they sleep for centuries
:and being awake and active doesn't mean that they move as quickly
:as humans. We know the new Temple of the Reaching Moon is built on
:top of a dragon. And when it wakes it devours the whole army that's
:present. This makes more sense if the dragon is at least the size
:of an ocean liner rather than a whale. There's also the Dragonkill
:where a small number of dragons killed everyone in Dragon Pass.

The lunars are (unwittingly, I think) tapping into the power of a sleeping (potential?) dragon for their temple. When that dragon is roused during the key ceremony, it's more of a heroquest moment challenge than a battle.

I have no problem with the dragon there rising from the ground like a trout snapping up an insect. That's still not what I think it's like when a dragon is actually fighting as a part of an army.
