You should know that as a writer by now. The only way to set up a scene like that to really capture the reader is to make them feel like they are there ....be as detailed as possible....start off with the environment, then work your way from there
use stephanie meyer as an example!
her writing sure captures me...
but make your's unique... i don't know the story so i can't be much help, but just use good describtive words... and describe even the little things..
happy writing!
