Originally, I was going to use the Stronghold Builders Guidebook but I could only find 4 rooms in that source that would be fitting.
With Pathfinder, via the d20pfsrd website, I was able to find thirteen rooms (one per scute) with a type of room too.
Unfortunately, Pathfinder does room sizes in five-foot squares whereas The Stronghold Builders Guidebook does room sizes by stronghold space. One stronghold space is the equivalent of 400 square feet which is 16 five-foot squares.
I want the Liches Lair to be on the back of a Gargantuan sized sea turtle, not a tortoise. Gargantuan is thirty-two to sixty-four feet long and since turtles are round that would be the diameter of their shell. Doing the math! Pi times 32 squared is three thousand two hundred plus square feet or one hundred twenty-eight five-foot squares. Pi times sixteen squared is only eight-hundred plus square feet for thirty-two five-foot squares minimum. This does allow the Stronghold Builders Guidebook four rooms to fit upon the Gargantuan shell.
| Room | 5 ft. Squares | Reason for the room |
|---|---|---|
| Grotto | -- | Makes Lair look natural |
| Alter | 2-8 | To give thanks for rebirth |
| Book Repository | 4-12 | Hold journals, maps, and other non-magical writings |
| Crypt | 8-30 | An undead should have a crypt |
| Dock | 10-30 | Eventually will have to leave the Zaratan |
| Forge | 8-16 | Make metal weapons and nails to build a ship |
| Magical Repository | 4-12 | Magical writings and item crafting |
| Scriptorium | 5-16 | To write in |
| Scrying room | 4-16 | To Scry, usually on enemies |
| Sewing room | 6-16 | To make clothing and sails |
| Storage | 4-8 | Obvious reason |
| Summoning Chamber | 6-16 | To Summon assistants |
| Vault | 4-8 | Phylactery and reincarnation |
| Workstation | 8-16 | To build boat to return to the greater world |
The totals of the 5 ft. Squares column has a range of seventy-three to two-hundred which fits within the Gargantuan size parameters of thirty-two to one-hundred twenty-eight.
