Salvage Base: Crimson Fortress

This Salvage Operations base has been setup in an ancient Dhakaani fort.
This fortress was ruined long before the Day of Mourning & is a leftover from the age when goblinoids ruled Khorvaire.
The team found passages of the draconic prophecy in the journal of a fallen hobgoblin researcher that led them to this place.

Total salvage currently required to be paid to attendants (guards, servants, etc.) after each salvage mission: 150

Feature	Date Added	Tier	Salvage cost	Description
Potion Lab	11/8/20	3	2,000	This alchemical laboratory contains arcane supplies and magical formulae used for creating potions. The upgrade comes with an alchemist, a commoner with a +4 bonus to Intelligence (Arcana) checks and proficiency with alchemist’s supplies, who manufactures the potions. The alchemist does not leave the safety of the base, and only fights in self-defense. The alchemist is controlled by the DM and leaves if frequently endangered or abused. If the alchemist dies or leaves, you must pay 200 salvage to hire a new alchemist. Instead of being paid in gold, the alchemist demands to be paid in salvage. After each salvage mission you complete, the alchemist takes a total of 50 salvage from the rewards earned for the base. Each character assigned to the base can expend salvage before an adventure to manufacture one potion from the Laboratory Potions table, with the restrictions listed below. • Each potion must be consumed during the adventure or it is lost. If lost, you regain the salvage you spent to manufacture it.
