You'll also get six plot seeds, each one finding a different way to use Candlekeep as a villain and giving you lots of potential adventures to use this character in. Each seed gives you an open-ended situation, so you and your players have a lot of leeway in responding to the various plots.
Finally, Candlekeep's FASERIP stats are provided. He's got a dangerous soul-stealing attack to watch out for, but if that's not dangerous enough for your party then feel free to make use of the Cosimo Eternal option fr...
