[QUOTE="Delemental, post: 1304411, member: 5203"] Recently, our FR party decided to purchase a home to use as a permanent base of operations. We ended up buying a plot of land a couple of hours northeast of Waterdeep - an old estate that had been overrun by vampires years ago and was unused. It sits on 200 acres; for those who aren't accustomed to visualizing area in terms of 'acres', it's a plot 3000 feet by 2904 feet. The main house (and supporting buildings, such as the stables, smithy, etc) are in the middle of the property, and a small river runs along the southern border (not big enough for travel or large-scale fishing). The land is largely undeveloped, with a few scattered groves of trees. We've spent the last two months getting the house into a livable state (fixing the roof, windows, etc) as well as putting up a simple wall around the buildings (courtesy of the Wall of Stone spell). Our elven party member has started up a small orchard as well (of what type I can't remember). We've also had a couple of peasant families move onto the property to care for it while we're away. So, what would you do with this kind of property, or what have you done if your party has been in similar circumstances? I'll take suggestions from reasonable to outlandish; in terms of resources, we're a party of average level 12, but all of our liquid assets have been sunk into buying the land and restoring the house; thus we're off on another adventure in the hopes of making enough money for our next payment. :) [/QUOTE]
