[QUOTE="mindy, post: 6343578, member: 6777148"] Yeah, pretty much. I'm not sure why you posted. As MarkB said, both of my ideas were money sinks to add to the plot. I discussed with the DM two days ago and so I'm going to build a tavern under the artificer's house so I don't have to pay for the land. Just remodeling of the dungeon under there. We found out that the bodies that kept appearing behind her house were a vampire's victims so the other players went to kill it while I robbed the bank... I will use the numbers from the Stronghold guide to calculate the costs. I have to negotiate more with the DM, so I will update again when something happens. Here is the menu I wrote for the tavern. My character is a belly dancer turned Shadowdancer, so it's very Middle Eastern themed. I need to think of a name... [INDENT]Caviar plate with crackers[/INDENT] [INDENT]Cheese plate with fresh grapes[/INDENT] [INDENT]Roasted watermelon seeds [/INDENT] [INDENT]Baharat seasoned chicken or lamb skewers[/INDENT] [INDENT]Fresh tabouleh salad with marinated cucumber slices[/INDENT] [INDENT]Tahini[/INDENT] [INDENT]Hummus[/INDENT] [INDENT](you have a choice between six kinds of pita bread or naan to eat with these) [/INDENT] [INDENT]Fresh fruit plate[/INDENT] [INDENT]Dried fruit plate (dates, apricots, figs, prunes, raisins, almonds)[/INDENT] [INDENT]Baklava [/INDENT] [INDENT]Turkish coffee (you can put a shot in it for extra)[/INDENT] [INDENT]A large selection of iced and hot teas Hookah for every table and a large assortment of shisha Betel leaves [/INDENT] And then the staff is something like this, I need to calculate the cost of food and drink, too... [INDENT]2 trained bartenders[/INDENT] [INDENT]4 untrained waitresses[/INDENT] [INDENT]1 trained cook and 1 untrained helper[/INDENT] [INDENT]1 untrained dishwasher[/INDENT] [INDENT]4 trained dancers that can dance with a DC of 20[/INDENT] [INDENT]2 trained dancers that can dance with a DC of 25[/INDENT] [INDENT]2 hostesses[/INDENT] [INDENT]1 trained manager (a very shrewd, good manager, so I can go on quests and not worry about it burning down)[/INDENT] [INDENT]2 or 3 bouncers[/INDENT] [INDENT]4 musicians - 1 singer, 1 percussionist, 1 wind, 1 strings - DC 20[/INDENT] [INDENT]1 illusionist (for special effects and lighting) [/INDENT] I figure I will never be able to rob a bank again so I need to open a business and grow the money.
