[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3578156, member: 13966"] You really, really need to give more detail on this place before anyone can give you any kind of decent answer on how much time and gold it would involve. Edit: I had to search for and download the adventure to find any description of the alchemist's eyrie. *grr* I'd eyeball it as being equivalent to the example Cheap Keep in the Stronghold Builder's Guidebook. 70,000 gold pieces, 7 weeks to build under average conditions (town, rock quarry, and decent labor forces nearby, frex). I'm not going to bother doing a detailed look-through of the SBG to figure out exactly how much time and money it would cost, but you probably can if you buy a copy of the Stronghold Builder's Guidebook. It's around 22 dollars give or take, depending on if your local game store or book store has it marked up. The price and time I mention excludes any needed for building traps or adding magical features or alchemical laboratories. The Cheap Keep is priced on standard, mundane resources and no special defenses or the like. The Cheap Keep has only two floors and a small tower or whatnot, but it's wider than the alchemist's eyrie in the adventure you mentioned, and takes up a similar number of 'stronghold spaces' I think since the eyrie has about twice as many floors of varying sizes (if you check the book, keep in mind it says near the bottom that each space is 10 feet in the Cheap Keep's map, whereas the alchemist's eyrie you mentioned says its map spaces are 5 feet; so the cheap keep looks smaller on the map, but is actually somewhere around twice the length and width).
