The Dragon Expansion Question

By WombatMan, in Talisman Rules Questions

We played the Dragon Expansion for the first time on the weekend (13/01/2013). We enjoyed it. I have a couple of questions.

1. When there is a Dragon Scale on a space and there is already one of the Dragon Lord cards on the space and you elect to encounter the Dragon Scale do you draw another card from the same Dragon Lord or do you only encounter the Dragon Card that is on the space?

2. Do characters that enter the Dragon Realm or Dragon Tower in the inner region still draw Dragon Scales or only characters still in the Outer or Middle Regions only draw Dragon Scales, since Dragon Scales cannot be located in the Dragon Realm or Dragon Tower?

This rule is specified in the Dragon Rulebook, page 10:

If a character encounters the dragon scale, he must draw one
card from the deck that matches the dragon scale, even if
there are already one or more cards in the space. The character
must resolve all of the cards in the space following the
normal rules

= you draw a Dragon Card (in any case) and then encounter all cards on the space (Adventure and Dragon Cards)

Again, Dragon Rulebook, page 8:

Important : Characters in the Inner Region do not place a
dragon scale on their space; all three dragon scales on the
Dragon King’s card are discarded instead.

= they still draw scales, but never place them on the board
