## Timeline

Barovia Play Timeline.

            This is a summary of the events of the Barovia Game as compiled by me, Sean. I may get
things wrong or forget things that are important to you the players, so don’t hesitate to chatter my ear off. One last thing, for the sake of my sanity exact hours won’t matter, and the days are broken into Morning, Day, Evening, Night. Good, let’s go.

      Day -3

Day: Strahd von Zarovich kidnaps Ireena Kolyana.

Evening: Kolyan Indirovich hears of what has
happened to his daughter.

Night: Kolyan sneaks into Castle Ravenloft,
avoids detection and rescues Ireena, taking her and Strahd’s life sized Strahd
doll with him after deciding that taking Strahd’s Ireena body pillow would be
too weird.

      Day -2

Morning: Kolyan and Ireena make it home. Kolyan
dies of exhaustion after telling his son Ismark Kolyanovich that he has figured
out Strahd’s secret.

Day
–

a.       Day:
Briosa Binasi, Jedidiah Sparks, Mavyre Krinoa and Rosarette Arstrike are
summoned into Barovia, and fall through a lot of trees.

b.      Evening:
The Barovia Party reaches the Village of Barovia in the Valley of Barovia. There
they meet an asshole shopkeep who extorts them, his giant friendly assistant,
and two ladies. Later they meet Ismark at the local pub. Ismark invites them to
his house.

c.       Night:
The Party meets Ireena, the corpse of Kolyan, and Strahd’s doll. Rosa bonds with
Ireena (and sees Doctor Evil’s Alien Mini-Me), Mavyre gets subcontracted to
find a book, Briosa learns about the village and Jed stands watch.

Day

a.       Morning:
Party wakes up, chats with Ireena and Ismark. Breakfast is good. Briosa finds
two magically pieces of the book that Kolyan hid, and sees a flash of Strahd’s
life. Mavyre and Rosa go out to spar and relax, joined by Briosa and Jed. Jed
tells everyone his life story.

b.      Day:
The party visits the church of the Village. They meet Donavich and Doru. They
consider killing Doru. Instead, Jedd accidentally poisons Doru and Donavich
with his blood. Donavich becomes a monster.

c.       Evening:
Donavich goes on a rampage. Everyone blames Jed. Dusk Elf Rahadin shows up,
berates everyone, goes to talk to a rock. Everyone goes after the giant monster
that is Donavich, and sees a carriage train that blows up Donavich. Presumably
the person who did the blasting is Strahd.

d.      Night:
Party returns to the village of Barovia, where they find out that Ireena has
gone missing. They sleep on it.

Day

a.       Morning:
The party set off for Vallaki, to find Ireena and another Hunter from Jed’s
world. They walk.

b.      Day:
Party reaches a fork in the road, next to some gallows. The body in the gallows
becomes pregnant and Doctor Evil’s Alien Mini-Me shows up again. Everyone
decides to go into the forest.

c.       Evening:
Party reaches the Vistani encampment on the bank of the Tser Pool. They meet
Arrigal, the Vistani, and Madam Eva. Eva reads them their fortunes: Myrmidon,
Bishop, Monk, Ghost, Horseman.

d.      Night:
The party rests with the Vistani.

Day

a.       Morning:
the party wakes up, has breakfast. The Vistani break camp. Arrigal lends the
party horses for their ride to Vallaki.

b.      Day:
the party passes a series of odd marks in the ground, which seem to be of many
booted men. They roll past a seemingly abandoned windmill, where they see
Ireena. When none of them go to rescue Ireena, Ireena jumps out a window and
breaks her ankle. The fleeing party is accosted by Hags.

c.       Evening:
the party reaches the woods outside of Vallaki. Ireena confides her distrust of
Arrigal, and Rosa considers murdering him. A trap left behind by Madam Eva
dissuades them. A trio of wolf hunters, along with the Hunter that Jed had
heard of, ride past them. The six reach Vallaki, and meet Izek, who is an
asshole. Arrigal goes his way. They go to the Blue Waters Inn, where they meet
Karl and Nikolai Wachter (Nikolai quickly tries to flirt with Mav), Urwin
Martikov (who offers them a night’s stay for free), Danika Martikov (who makes
them work for their stay), Bray and Brom Martikov (who have a habit of popping
out of ceiling holes) and the wandering circus weirdo Rictavio (who annoys
Jed).

d.      Night:
the party sleeps, and Jedidiah, Briosa and Rosarette’s rest is trouble by Hags.

Day

a.       Morning:
Everyone wakes up, three worse for wear. Rictavio annoys Rosarette, and the
quartet sans Ireena leaves for Saint Andral’s Church. There Father Lucian (a
Tiefling) sets off Rosarette’s racism and nobody has a good time. Then they
spar a bit, and Mav beats up Igor the Animated Armor, and everyone has a great
time. Mav and Rosa bond while Jed and Briosa go out to find bounties they can
use for cash.

b.      Day:
