PS, for those who are having to rebuild their characters, this is a handy tool.

It doesn't include Ravenloft specific stuff (he had one but WotC made him take it down). But still it might be useful for getting your character built before you add in the Ravenloft-y bits.

Excellent question.


Mists over the Musarde started in late summer of 756 of the Barovian Calendar.

The party went through the portal to The Wood, and defeated Wolutha in 757

Jon murdered Evie in January 759 of the Barovian Calendar

The reorganized party investigated the mystery of the Delapore Estate in October of 760

In October of 761 Benn, Dorgio, and several others visited Denys Sancerre on the island of Gauntcliff. Not such a relaxing vacation!


Mists of Winter took place in December of 762.

This campaign begins in the late summer of 764.

Eight years have passed since the first party formed to rescue and protect Evangeline Sancerre. Over five years since Jon murdered Evangeline.
Dorgio is 35.

This tracks with real life, more or less.


Don't forget that your wives and kids get older too.
Dorgio's wife was pregnant at the end of the last game. Assuming things went well, he has a toddler now.

Benn's son is getting big.

It's possible Charlotte could have conceived again. We can random roll for that.

>Dorgio is 35

Ay, stop aging and reminding me of my own mortality, PC!

Okay, so that means Lorna is in her early 20s now, and little Sandor Benedek* Varga would be about a year and some change, since was born in the Spring of '63.


*After Benedict Gerhman, of course

Do you have the character sheet? Because I changed computer and I don't know if I still have it.
I have her background.

You based her on the character from Skybolt's suspended game.

human
rogue

some shooty feats
burglar/tomb raider type skills
Great, now I remember :) Hopefully I have the stats saved at the old one.

http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=277171 Here's what I have for Bennedict's sheet atm. Not sure if it's the most current. If you were to say "go ahead and level up to 8" I wouldn't argue.

7 appears to be correct.

Double check. His level should not be lower than Dorgio's level.
Because this is intended to be the final installment, I will grant XP/ level up awards midway through, rather than at the end.

It's quite possible that all PCs could level up. If they survive the first adventures of The One that Got Away...

Then that sounds right, since Dorgio's at 7 too.

You make seven.


Recruitment closed.

I still have your very fun burglar character from Mists of Winter (The Jenny Greenteeth adventure)

She should fit in nicely, especially as Sara Croft (Van) and Raen (Alhoon) are also in the mix.
