The result of the above process is not the story that will be revealed to the players. It isn't even a history of events that will be explored by the players. The point of play is not to carefully and patiently dole out this information in a dramatic and entertaining manner. That is writing.

Instead, the purpose of this is to prime the game master for playing on equal footing with the players. In many ways, it is simply the backstory of all the supporting characters in the scenario. Therefore, the only thing that matters at this stage is the game master's own enthusiasm for the material. Are they excited to play with, not merely present, the situation now boiling in their hands?

About halfway along the path from Myrr to Bharzul is Berun Kraghart’s Inn, dubbed by many as ‘Inn the Mountain’, a very welcome respite from the dark winding tunnels and dwindling rations. Visitors are treated to fine food and ale, regular performances and a soft bed.

Think of all the ways people in a community react in the presence of that sudden stress. The key is to make sure enough human drama exists so that the weirdness does not become the point. The simple test is to look and see if discovering and destroying the creature resolves all the crises and return things to the status quo. If that's the case, add in more trouble and turmoil among the supporting characters.
