[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5466434, member: 6669384"] Yeah, the costs and time schedules presume magic. There's a chart in the PHB for the cost of spellcasting services. It's in the Equipment section. That's how much it costs to "buy" the magic you need, in the form of skilled professionals. Also look at the cost of a [i]Lyre of Building[/i], found in the DMG. It's unskilled labor, but by adding skilled labor and/or magic to shore up what the Lyre is excavating. As for skills, I'd rely heavily on Knowledge Architecture, and I'd set the DC pretty high, since you want to do the excavation without disturbing the structure above. And realistically, even a ground shift of a few inches can collapse a medieval structure. Of course, realistically, they're going to end up with a collapsed hotel on top of them, but since when does realism come into play? :) [/QUOTE]
