Well shit!
It isn't that a big a deal. The dolgan either give us the food or we raid them and take the food anyway.
The person who might be able to do that was Gotrek.

Without the landships we can probably carry at best 1 week's worth of food. And the landships are only slightly slower than our cavalry, so losing them won't speed us up. Losing them would make it less likely we make it back.

So how many Engineers are we down to now? We lost 16, 5 will transfer, but how many remain on the other wagons total? Were there any?
Keeping the wagons running could be as much or more of a limiting factor as food, and we can't raid the Dolgan for spare boiler parts.

It's really convenient that the destroyed wagon contained the head engineer (and the body is missing). Hell, any "accident" on the way to save a Hold in the Chaos Steepes should be treated with suspicion.
This could very well be sabotage. At the very least we should investigate the accident.

On the upside, not having his body means there is a slim chance he survived somehow and is just stuck somewhere.

He died a hero, as part of an expedition that returned a dwarf hold to the world (potentially 2 if we get lucky with Dum), so at least he'll be remembered well. Suspect that the offer of 8-peaks clan membership will be extended to the widow once this is all over, so she'll have options at least.

They are still Dawi constructions so I bet if push came to shove then we would be able to make it to Tilea with only 85% effectivity rather than 100%.

Holy fuck. Just a random freak accident. Either option involves driving over the smaller road with a few steam wagons, our food situation is much tighter, we don't have the knowledge needed to do major repairs anymore so something could just break down and we'd have to abandon it, gah.
The idea of quitting here hurts a lot, and even with all this I am leaning towards continuing, but we need to really weigh the risks of killing most of the people here.
I don't suppose the steam wagons stuck behind could reverse and find a different path? It'd suck to split our defenses, but it would probably be a lesser risk.

Bad bet.
There's now 55 Engineers for five steam-wagons, where each needs 10 to keep it going at full capacity. So the Expedition actually has a surplus now.
The only other path involves going back to Kislev and then driving over the pack ice.

70 - 16 = 54 Engineers remaining.

I imagine it would not say that Gotrek is dead, and rather that he cannot be found if he weren't definitively dead. Though I'd be lying if I said that same thought hadn't occurred to me.

Pretty sure there's only one road. It's this or they don't make it up to the Steppes.

Eh as far as we know it's might as well have been impossible for him to survive, so it makes since to call him as dead.
But that doesn't mean that he doesn't have his own rolls that we can't see, and weirder shit has happened.

What ... what an utter clusterfuck. I honestly can't believe it. Man, I was there when Ableheim got ganked, but at least there was a build-up to it! This is like some stranger randomly coming up and kicking you in the balls, just a complete disaster out of nowhere.
... well. Things looked horrible after drakenhof as well, but we soldiered the fuck up and razed Drakenhof to the ground. Let's see if we can pull off another miracle here, because it looks like the only way out is forward.

It is a sign, that this was the death of Gotrek Gurnisson the Engineer! A catalyst for what is to come!
Thats right. That Umgak Umgi Godling Ranald, not merely content with the theft of an honest Dawi soul has also stolen Gotrek's luck!

Probably evil, unfortunately.

So, we have either three weeks back to Kislev, or a minimum five week trip to Dum and then back. Except it's more likely to be at least a week or two on top of that as we scout, talk, etc, in the vicinity of Dum. That's a bit of a problem from our supply situation. Without the Kurgan deal I'd say back off without question, but even with it we're going to be pushing things.

Besides assuming that he is still alive
Wouldn't he only gonna become a slayer if we all fucking die?
I'm pretty sure it was something about the expedition going to shit that caused him to go slayer in canon.
I mean he is probably dead, anyway. But worth noting.
