The Lanterns Timeline

On the first evening of travel, the caravan spots light on what seems to be an abandoned farm close to the river. Upon investigation, they find Paoli, a young woodsman, mourning the death of his brother, and digging a grave for him. It's the group's first contact with the strange Vor Ziyden's Plague that they'll soon be too familiar with.
They help Paoli with his brother, Grimm performs the rites and they take Paoli with them on the caravan.

The caravan arrives in Vor Ziyden. The village is quite pretty, full of little streams crisscrossing its whitewashed houses landscape. But the weather is miserable.
They meet Sentire Duscha Yanoff at the church and deliver the supplies they've brought with the caravan. The church has a big hole in the ceiling and seems to be under repairs. There are several patients in the infirmary with varying degrees of a strange disease.
Danica is attacked by one of the patients.
Meanwhile, Shellta and Tuborg go meet the captain of the militia, Valeska Vanator, for further information.
At the Silver Inn, the heroes meet Ondor Brightbelt and Davir of Sembia.
At night, howlings are heard outside. The heroes spot a little kid outdoors, which they later discover to be Luca Salvatore, somehow.
Then they are attacked by a large creature of horrific proportions and vicious attacks. A fight occurs at the Silver Inn but the heroes manage to make the creature flee, after Grimm invokes the powers of his goddess, Ezra.

The heroes go back to the Tower in the Lake only to find Nicolo Salvatore's resting body being guarded by a strange undead. A creature with dry-skin and long black oily hair, from which a twisted black-rotten baby hung in a nurturing swing. A battle erupted when the heroes tried to approach Salvatore's form. The fight was difficult, especially for Grim, who felt his very soul being touched, and his will to live diminished.
After the fight, Tuborg finds this weird sphere that fell from the Mother's eye-socket. Upon close inspection, the sphere wraps itself around Tuborg's eye and magically replaces it, in an agonising process. After some adjustment and recovery, Tuborg now manages to see into the spirit world. He has a brief talk with The Mother's spirit, Letizia Salvatore. She asks him to protect Ariadne and Salvatore. She also says that Luca is more dead than he remembers it.

After a good night's rest, the Lanterns descend to the lower levels of the The Old Estate and reach the The Secret Library. They are attacked by a small group of undead in a grand half-flooded library.
After that, they explore the place and search for more clues about the Salvatores and their dealings.
They discover an underground (and submerged) laboratory entrance, although the lab itself got completely destroyed and overrun with stones, debris after an earthquake.
