When Stanzfeld Mansion was first
acquired by Fallow's Cross Adventurers, it was the Vampire's magical Laboratory.
The vampire had apparently spent a significant amount of money on it to
equip it well. Sadly, it was devoted to researching necromantic magic of
the foulest variety.
Initially, it was Jason and Marie, with the help of Malleus, who
cleared it out and restocked it for more general magical investigations.
For some time, only Jason and Marie had the knowledge and experience to
write spell scrolls, which were the first things they made in this laboratory.
There are three sections to the laboratory:
-
Research Library
The Research library is a walled of part of the original laboratory,
measuring 30 foot by 20 foot (600 sq feet), and haas had around 15 000
gp spent upon it to bring it up to scratch.
-
Laboratory
The laboratory has had 10 000 gp spent to equip it and its running
cost is about 500 gp per month. It measures 30' by 40 foot (1200 sq feet),
and has a tunnel which branches off the NW corner.
-
Target Practice tunnel
The tunnel was originally a trap created by the Vampire, but has since
been turned into a targeting range where Marie has been practising with
her Acid arrows. The tunnel is about 100 foot long - a lightning bolt will
fit comfortably inside the tunnel.
In total, the amount of money spent on this facility is in the order of
20-30 000 gp and this combined with the size of the research library is
enough to allow research into 4th level spells.
