Dice, Camera, Action Timeline
(So. Uh. While going through DCA again I decided to keep track of how much time has passed. Donât know if anyone already posted something like this, but after taking the time to type it up, I thought Iâd share in case anyone else was interested. I am kind of amused by the fact that they were only originally in Barovia for less than two weeks. XD
All days are totaled according to the amount of time passing for the Waffle Crew and does not account for discrepancies between places like Barovia, the Shadowfell, Toril, etc. I am not adding the Kâthrissmas Special as it was recorded earlier but aired months later, making it pretty impossible to properly place timeline-wise. If anyone has any corrections, feel free to let me know.)

Total time passed in 3 seasons: Almost exactly half a year (+50 lol)
SEASON 4 - WATERDEEP - 157 days total (a little over 5 months) Ep 091-093 - Day 186 (Travel to Waterdeep) Ep 093 - Days 187-191 (Travel to Waterdeep) Ep 094 - Days 192-215 (Travel to Waterdeep) Ep 094-097 - Day 216 (Spend 1 night in Waterdeep) Ep 098 - Day 217 (First night in the Wafflehaus) [ Ep 099 - Days 218-238 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) *exact number of days not confirmed - âsome number of days and/or weeksâ; at least 5 days needed for Diathâs journey to and from Red Larch, presumably including 1 night there, plus time for all of them including Diath to feel settled in* ] [ Ep 100 - Days 239-241 (Spend 1 night in Nightstone) *number of days based on Part One of the five part episode - Strix and Diath were taken by the mists the same day Strix got the message from Omin, but Paultin and Evelyn took a 2 day journey to Red Larch and were then spirited away* ] [ Ep 101 - Days 242-244 (Journey to Waterdeep) *exact number of days not confirmed - âmulti-day journeyâ; estimated journey based on maps and compared distance to Red Larch* ] [ Ep 101-102 - Day 245 (Spend 1 night saving Waffles) ] [ Ep 102-103 - Day 246 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) ] [ Ep 103 - Days 247-248 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) ] [ Ep 103-104 - Day 249 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) ] [ Ep 104-105 - Day 250 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) ] [ Ep 105 - Days 251-253 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) *exact number of days not confirmed - âover the next day or twoâ and then âover the next day or twoâ again* ] [ Ep 105-110 - Day 254 (Operation in Xanatharâs lair) *the passing of a day isnât specified, however the kids were at the neighborâs long enough to know that elves donât sleep* ] [ Ep 110 - Day 255 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) ] [ Ep 111 - Days 256-262 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) *exact number of days not confirmed - âsome time has passedâ, âa period of tranquilityâ, though Paultin is still an egg throughout so probably not too long* ] [ Ep 112 - Days 263-276 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) *exact number of days not confirmed - âsome time has passedâ* ] [ Ep 113 - Days 277-290 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) *exact number of days not confirmed* ] [ Ep 114 - Days 291-304 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) *exact number of days not confirmed* ] Ep 115-116 - Day 305 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) Ep 116-117 - Day 306 (Evelyn stays at Wafflehaus, Diath stays in jail, Strix and Paultin are out) *Talastin Aderagon visits in the morning and Diath has his first day in jail, so one night passes between 117 and 118* Ep 118 - Day 307 (Stay at the Wafflehaus, real Diath still in jail) Ep 118-121 - Day 308 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) Ep 122 - Day 309 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) *it is never specified how much time takes place before or after this episode* Ep 123-124 - Day 310 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) Ep 124 - Day 311 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) >Ep 125 - Days 312-327 (Stay at the Wafflehaus, Evelyn with Jarlaxle night 327)< Ep 126-127 - Day 328 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) *exact number of days between 127 and 128 not specified - ep 128 ârecentlyâ after 127, kids supposedly got gifts âabout a weekâ since 128 which happened on day 310 (ep 123), so as that already conflicts, I made 128 the next day so it adds the shortest amount of time possible* Ep 128-131 - Day 329 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) Ep 131 - Days 330-331 (Diath and Strix travel to Rassalanter; Paultin and Evelyn stay in the Wafflehaus) Ep 131-132 - Day 332 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) Ep 132-134 - Day 333 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) <Ep 135 - Days 334-339 (Stay at the Wafflehaus; Evelyn travels to and from Red Larch?) *it is never specified how much time takes place before or after this episode*> Ep 136-137 - Day 340 (Saving kids from Jarlaxle) *ep 136 starts at midday, but ep 140 has it at evening after a long rest with no mention of night passing, so I am basing this off of the assumption that a night passed while dealing with Jarlaxle* Ep 137-140 - Day 341 (Stay at the Wafflehaus) Ep 141 - Day 342
[ *In 99, Chris says it is âthe end of winter, going into springâ, and in 114, he says it is âlate springâ, so I totaled the number of days between these episodes to equal a little less than 3 months.* ]
Also fun to point out that in 130 Chris says that the Crew has known Warrington about â4 to 5 monthsâ, and as they met him in 94, this lines up perfectly, having known him a little over 4 months by my estimates. So I didnât have to readjust anything! Yay! lol
>125 is a bit weird as itâs the live game where the cast was DMed through envelopes and everyone had a separate turn. Jared/Paultin took place over days 312 to 317; Nate/Strix took place over days 312 to 319 (calculated by assuming Strix brought Waffles to the circus after Simon came back); Anna/Diath took place over days 318 to 327 (calculated due to Strix talking to Diath about owlbear sex at the very start); and Holly/Evelyn took place all in one day and directly before episode 126, thus day 327. This is assuming that the âextrasâ took place between days 318 and 327. All numbers are approximated as there was a lot of âa few days laterâ type descriptors being thrown around.<
<Evelynâs guest spot on the Pax East 2019 C-Team game conflicts heavily with the facts we have from DCA. 139 is supposedly after it, but 136 is supposedly before it. However, 136-139 is all one, unbroken narrative, so it couldnât possibly fit between them, especially when Evelyn has to make the journey to and from Red Larch, which is at least 6 days by my earlier estimations. Itâs possible it could fit after 134 and before 136 as the number of passing days is unspecified, but that would mean retconning things Evelyn said in regards to what happened in 136. So I added enough days to fit it there, but continuity-wise, it still doesnât fully work.>
NOTE: In 117, Chris says that the theft of the Evelyn statue - which occurred in 106 - was âA week ago? Two weeks ago?â however unless 2.5 months pass at the beginning of 99 alone, this is impossible and should be chalked up to him being an âunreliable narratorâ. This is not the only instance of him being one, but it was a fairly glaring contradiction, so I thought Iâd point it out!
Interesting Facts (some numbers are approximate):
Evelyn was a construct for 127 days
Paultin was without a shadow for 41 days
Diath was a ghoul for 4 days
Simon 1.0 was with the party for 33 days; he had first met them 2 days prior; Simon 2.0 would be found 9 days after his death
Hooty McHootface was with the party for 17 days; Waffles was only 24 days old when Ÿths of the party died
The Waffle Crew carried a nuke around for 72 days
If my numbers are correct, then it took the party 39 days to get from Port Nyanzaru to Omu, and Diath, Strix, and Paultin would have each lost 13 HP along the way
Anything in season 4 is nearly impossible to have accurate due to all the vague descriptors, and Iâm sorry XD
But if my numbers are even remotely correct, season 4 took up almost half the amount of time that passed on the show as a whole
Also not even a full in game year passed - wild
Damn this helps me so much more than I thought, also this is mega what you did! Canât think of how long that took, especially when you watched threw all of it again just to get the dates O_O
Just gonna need it now soâŠ
yet again.. need it...
