Making a house a Home

Dave roughly how much to make Ajax's room a bachelor pad. Big double bed with black silk sheets, thick carpets, wall hangings, etc ?

I've not got a clue, but I'll get back to you when I've had a look about a bit

Best do a quote for a bar too then

I should have a working demo of the house/bar/workshop/stable/ect by next week or the week after !

I look forward to seeing that

Ok, looking through the Stronghold Builders Guidebook as a reference...

It would appear that the type of room that you are looking to furnish for Ajax would cost around 1500-2000 gold, expensive i know!

And Lorric's bar would cost perhaps 300 gold....

I'm open to any input or arguments on these matters

What sort of price would I be looking at for the stabling then?

Thank the gods we've got the money from the Lighthouse job coming or I couldn't afford it

Also, 2 GRAND !!!! It had better include a water-elemental Jacuzzi or something for that price

The stables are in need of various fitments that are more suitable to your purposes as a dinosaur herder, and more obviously your size.
These fitments will cost you 250 gold in total, and Katerina would like at least one stall for her own mount, which she hasn't yet got.

Well 2 cheap rooms with straw beds on a low frame, bedclothes of burlap, rough cotton or wool, a single chest of drawers, a mirror, a rough bench in front of a small table and a privvy cost 700 gold.

2 fancy rooms with beds resting on handsome frames with fine cotton sheets and wool blankets, a finely carved bureau and wardrobe, an upholstered bench and small writiing desk and a privvy cost 4000 gold.

However with hindsight, you are not building the room from scratch so i will rconsider my first price.
4000 for 2 rooms, so 2000 for one.
25% of that is 500 gold for a well furnished room.

And the price for Lorric's bar remains the same at 300 gold, however, keeping it stocked could well prove to be an ongoing expense

Dave, a question about the house. Does it extend out over empty space, more specifically do the stable extend out over empty space? If so, would it be possible to modify one of the stalls so that the floor opens up and I can launch Hurricane (my Glidewing) vertically down out of it?

Very cool. Now you just needed the linked Magic Missile wands slung under it and you're ready to go to war !

Tally-ho!

James is currently designing the house so i can't really answer any questions about the layout.

However, things i do know....
i) The house does extend over empty space, along with the stables.
ii) Having an animal living on a trapdoor is not safe, but you can certainly build a trapdoor somewhere in the stables for launching.
iii) As it stands there is no reason why you couldn't take your mount to the bridge and launch from there, although this option is not as cool

How much would it cost for my patented dinosaur launcher?

Oh boy, it's pull a number out of a hat time again.

I think that you could have one made for anywhere from 15 to 75 gold, depending on workmanship and materials quality.

Of course the patent is an annual fee of 10000 gold

Right - 75 gold it is then (I want it secure and spiffy). So that, on top of the base stable outfitting fee of 250 gp is a total of 325. All correct?

Coolio.

The doors are made of sturdy, iron-bound hard-wood and a lever mechanism is within arms reach when you are mounted. The doors are designed to open slowly for the first inch or two, to prepare you and your mount for the drop. A pulley and weight then springs into action opening the doors rapidly to prevent anything catching as you fall.
Once the doors are opened the pulley mechanism continues to function, closing the doors behind you. They are fully closed and locked in 30 seconds. (I'm assuming that you come in to land on the bridge and lead your mount into the stable rather than trying to navigate a hole in the floor.)

The doors are more than capable of supporting Anvil's weight and then some.

Sounds good, more than happy with that thanks.
