My players have just found The Lure of Lurue in a shipwreck off Solstice.Having found a rare book, that gives the party a reason to travel to Candlekeep. Where there is a good chance the Avowed will take the opportunity of adventurers turning up on their doorstep to ask for help with a little problem...Stringing the whole lot as a campaign, you really have to treat it like a problem-of-the-week TV series. Make the PCs the library troubleshooters, and have a boss who brings them the next problem after they have had some downtime from the previous episode.Shemshime's Bedtime Rhyme works fine with PCs who are residents in the library - send them down into the cellar to investigate the annoying humming, then have them infected and quarantined.ZZT says this: "A large padlock prevents the book from being opened and resists all attempts to open it with magic, but it snaps open when the book is held by someone who intends to leave Candlekeep with it. "  Doesn't say the padlock can't be picked manually. The PCs are probably the only people in the library with the skill to pick a lock without using magic. But I would just ignore this sentence if it doesn't suit. Have bossman bring it to the PCs, or it could just fall (jump) off the shelf as they pass.Watch The Librarians TV series.</blockquote>
