If you are a novice player speak to the many green-robed tutors scattered throughout this area for advice.

Opening containers in private rooms or houses yields a high chance of detection by the local guard. You're only hope of avoiding a penalty is to escape before the guard initiates conversation. Attacking the guard is generally a bad move for non-evil or low-level characters as you will suffer loss of reputation, turn nearby onlookers hostile and you may end up dead. Once the guard is alerted don't return to the scene of your crime for 1 hour (5 mins in real time). In Candlekeep the repercussions are much less severe: carefully raid as much as you want then if a guard catches you tell them to get lost and run for the exit! Just don't get into a fight with them.

You begin outside the Candlekeep Inn.
