One of the main complaints about boxed text is that they gave all this detail put the description of the important things, especially the monsters, at the end. I think it depends on the encounter and feeling your are trying to create. If there is a big, fearsome dragon, it makes sense to mention that first. The rest of the details in the room are not going to matter that much when you walk into a cavern to find a dragon staring you down. But if the occupants are hanging back or hiding, or engaged in non-threatening activity, perhaps they are simply part of the room description.</blockquote>
