I'm running Candlekeep Mysteries as a series of connected one shots (PCs are Avowed in training). Next session we will be starting Shemshime's Bedtime Rhyme. Other than the fact that the PCs will be tasked with books restoration and that I will replace all NPCs but Crinkle with recurring friendly NPCs that were assigned to the same task, I am planning to run it more or less as written.

To prepare better, I wanted to ask those who already played this one shot how did it go? Everything happened in the cellar or maybe the PCs left it before ending the curse? How did the curse events go, did you add some more? What did your players do? I'd love to hear some stories to get inspired or foresee some possibilities, this is the one shot I am most excited about so far.

I've already read the latest posts on this topic here and took some notes, sending thanks to their OPs.
