Message: <blockquote data-quote="FitzTheRuke" data-source="post: 8232871" data-attributes="member: 59816">I'm running Decent into Avernus and one of the adventures from Candlekeep Mysteries, and both groups are going to be in Candlekeep soon. I've got a few questions for the community here. I don't mind if answers are based on Realms Lore or just good DM's opinions (preferably both!). I'll try to keep the questions, and ask that you keep the answers spoiler-light (or feel free to use spoiler tags if you wan to get into the details).1) My Avernus group is heading to Candlekeep riding griffons. They are a party of five, with five NPCs along.  How many people does Candlekeep allow entry for the cost of one book? The adventures seem to handwave it as "the party" as far as I can tell.2) One of the NPCs along is a Prisoner, taken without authority from Baldur's Gate. [spoiler="Prisoner"]It's Thavius Kreeg[/spoiler] I don't get the impression that Candlekeep has any prisons or magistrates, or likely any interest in adjudicating law. Do you think they'd be turned back to Baldur's Gate to resolve that issue? The party seems to be aware that they took him from Baldur's Gate without authority, but they seem to think that they can just turn him in to "the authories" (for unproven crimes) in Candlekeep.3) You have to give them a book or scroll that is not all ready in the library to get into Candlekeep. What if you are from there? Do the Keepers have family that just live there? Is there much in the way of civilians? I assume citizens of Candlekeep are exempt?4) It seems that the gift of the book gives you access to the Library for a tenday. Can you come and go during that time?5) I kind of expected that Candlekeep had at least a small part of the city that was accessible without the book, and that you needed a book to get into the library but it appears that the whole place only exists to support the library, and there's no access to it at all without a book. So there'd be no reason for refugees to travel there, for example. You can't enter without a book, and you can't stay more than ten days. Seems right?I guess that's all I have for now. I welcome any interesting discussion on the place.</blockquote>
