Do we have a timeline for Durkula

[Quartz]

Durkon's mother says he made contact only the week before, so that's a max of 13 days. We know that the Mechane travels at the speed of plot but an awful lot has happened since Durkon got vamped. We've had the escape from Tarquin, the visit to the gnomes and Crystal, the Godsmoot, the fight with the giants, and the defeat of Durkula. Can we construct a timeline for all this?

Yes:

3 days between Books 5 and 6 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0948.html)
12 hours between that and Tinkertown (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0956.html)
Godsmoot takes place the day after the Tinkertown sequence (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0989.html)
It takes around 2 days for the Council of Clans to gather (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1016.html); at least a day passes between that and arriving at Firmament (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1030.html)

I take the first link to mean 3 days inclusive, as in day 1 = the day of Durkon's vampirization, day 2 = briefly seen in #946 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0946.html), and day 3 = start of Book 6. This seems to match with Vampire Durkon's meal plan:
Day 1: first day of existence; Durkon doesn't need any donation because he drained Belkar
Day 2: Roy is drained off-screen between books
Day 3: Elan is drained and says it's his first time (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0958.html)
Day 4: Haley was drained right before the Godsmoot (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1108.html)
Day 5: Durkon and his minions feast upon local dwarves toward the very end of this day (after dusk since "Ponchula" hadn't refreshed her spells (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1124.html) between casting the quick-rise spell and her destruction)
Day 6: Durkon is slain before or around dawn

Three days (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0948.html) between vamping and the storm.
Then dusk (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0961.html). Then Tinkertown in the morning (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0964.html) (day 4).
Repairs done for the next morning (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0965.html).
Then reaching the Moot during the day (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0992.html) and leaving the same day (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1030.html) (day 5).
Then night onboard the Mechane (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1044.html).
Then battle with the frost giants in broad daylight (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1049.html)(day 6).
Then reaching Firmament past midnight (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1094.html) and slaying Durkon* before dawn.

Durkon* "lived" for less than a week.

EDIT: Dammit, Hamish!

946 is the dusk of the day Durkon vampirized, I think, not the day after that (Day 1).
958 Roy is drained in the day before the storm (Day 2/3).
948 is three days later, which means it could be Day 3 or Day 4.
956 Bandana claims that there is 12 hours to Tinkertown.
958 Elan is drained for the first time.
961 is the dusk of Day 3 or Day 4.
964 They reach Tinkertown in the morning. (Day 4/5)
965 They stay there for a day for the repairs and other stuff.
989 Night at Tinkertown, the Godsmoot is tomorrow.
1108 Haley is the last member drained before the Godsmoot. They're wearing their winter clothes, so it has to be the day after their stay in Tinkertown (Day 5/6).
992 They reach to the Godsmoot (Day 5/6).
1030 They leave the Godsmoot. It will take at least a day for them to reach to Firmament (Day 5/6).
1050 Haley contacted Lien last night (Day 6/7).
1094 They reach to Firmament after the midnight (Day 7/8).
1095 Council of Elders will congregate in the midmorning (Day 7/8).

Besides, Durkon states to Thor that he had died "about a week before" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1136.html) the moment of that conversation.
