I'm just wondering if anyone has an approximate time it takes to get to parts of the city? What if the party is all flying?
I need this to keep track of buff spells during the various rescue missions all over Cauldron during "Foundations of Flame."
Or if this is described in the SCHC someplace and I missed it, that would be great too!
There should be a scale on the map - just approximate and break it down into round increments. I have something homebrewed for that purpose somewhere on my hard drive, but I don't know where it is. If I find it, I'll post it!

I agree. Use the scale key and the movement charts in the PH making estimates as needed. I've been looking into travel times myself for just getting around town. For my caculations I also accounted for the increased difficulty of moving up and down the slopes between the major avenues.
As an example, to get from Ghelves Locks to the Church of St. Cuthbert can take (depending on the route taken) just under half an hour on foot (assume 30'move or longer with lower movement rates). When you factor in crowds and distractions such a walk could take the better part of an hour. Getting around town can really eat into a heroes day.
But anyway, for the chapter you need the information for, such leisurely paces as I described above are obvously out however mobs of pannicked people will still eat into the time it takes PC's to lurch from disaster to disaster. Flight and other magical means of movement will be almost a neccessity.
I don't know that I would break it all the way down to round by round except in each "scene" but I have not gotten that far in the campaign yet and may change my mind a half-dozen times between now and then.
