Be sure to go into detail on extraneous details like how the main eye is brown but only three of the eyestalks have blue eyes rather than the usual  number of blue eyes*while gesturing at the player's pencil as if they mght want to note an important detail.    If a more experienced player realizes just how important it is for j-newbie to not accidentally do something that would result in a near instant tpk silence them quickly by pointing out how they are asleep & that the pair are whispering quietly while eating by the fire. In the morning the beholder (or whatever) has long since left but now it's time to make the newbie player explain everything that happened the night before during their watch.* "well mmm...." lets see if you know the normal number of blue eyes on these... 23?... yea your not sure but it seems important to remember</blockquote>
