For example, Sticks can look into things and discover that the castle is rumored to once of been the home of a black dragon and once events take them into the swamp, they could of come across some dragon disciples, but that can't come up until that point and the story might move beyond that.<br/><br/>As for telling the plot in front of the victim... no idea where that came from.
