I want to describe what they see and try to submerse them into the world.  Somethings that they have fought before and can identify I just name, but all they know about this dragon is that it is black, spits acid, appeared out of no where, disappeared without a trace, called itself Storemere, and a few other things that I'll let them try to remember.</blockquote>
