commit d7418c7e04b6be3e21a3df9889984769620c3177
Author: David Lawrence Ramsey <poo...@gm...>
Date:   Wed Dec 3 18:11:04 2025 -0600

    Handle singular "the " names in encounter msgs.
    
    So we get e.g. "You encounter the Serpent of Hell." instead of "You
    encounter Serpent of Hell."
    
    Note that a hypothetical unique monster with both a "the " name and a
    title (none currently exist) will have its title take precedence.
