That's a fair point- if there isn't any more food at Uzkulak when we turn back now, only ~2 weeks after the last time we visited, the expedition starves before we hit Kislev.

Spliting forces that have just shown vulnerability is not a good idea in territory of several factions that prey on it.

We've only got the 1 cold room (per wagon?) for the meat, we can't store it where the guns are.
That... Was a blow. Did not see that coming. Several characters had already been butterflied already, but Gotrek was unexpected. This really hammered it home because we actually got to know him in this timeline.
That said, I'd have been more distressed if Asarnil & Deathfang had died or worse any of the ducklings. We're relatively close to them after all.

How do the Dwarves deal with lines of succession in combination with polyandry?
Why mine in secret? If a noble is rich enough to dig a wine cellar in their new summer manor despite having built it in bedrock then that's their right, no? Also, Dwarves.
Isn't it meant to pave over small cliffs and such. I would have thought that that also makes it work on narrow or even relatively narrow ditches.
That's actually a real thing.

However they decided to in advance.
"Ah, yes, 'wine'," says every thief in the county as they make plans to raid what they're absolutely sure is a treasure vault.
If it's too wide the spell stops saying 'hey, the dirt turns into air here, skywalk it' and starts saying 'the air is continuing on to more air, this is fine' and doesn't. It's not actually detecting what is and isn't solid, it's just determining what isn't consistent.

You mean that time he fell off a cliff and was assumed to be dead?

critfails are bullshit
and of course, because dwarves don't fucking pass on their knowledge, he was irreplacable.
boneym included links to his survival roll. he's very fucking dead.

Honestly I feel like that's good writing: It's appropriate that a death so sudden, and without closure be disorienting and unreal like this.

Happy first update of 2021 everyone!
Well, fuck. Gotrek got screwed by the dice real hard. I'm leaning towards continuing, we're a week away from Dum and we can forage or raid Kurgan if it comes to it.
....I am so glad that I did not read this update with food, unlike the past two times this happened. Yay for impatience?
Welp, that another named characters dead in the tally. But let us push on, at the very least. We have to.

This Expedition had three total survivors in canon. Everyone knew what they were getting into.
Man, imagine if it had been the Volans. Most of the mages would have died. If it were the... whichever-one-Ljiljana is on, either the Kriestov or Magnus or something. We would have been stuck facing the idea of "Try to scout out the Mauraders yourself and search for the Chaos Goblet yourself? Or do nothing?" And more likely than not, then we would have ended up in the awkward place of owing a debt to Kislev after being unable to discharge it!
And if it were the Alric, then it could have been Borek dying. That would also have been a shock. The leader of the expedition, and the only one from Karag Dum...

Ah. That's probably something to keep in mind, then. For how the Rite works.
Oh man that's right. That would have been... sucky spiritually and morale-wise. Dying not to an enemy but to a rockslide.

Gotrek's knowledge might be irreplaceble, but it isn't irrecoverable.
If we can't identify his exact body, we'll just have to raise all of them.

This is truly a tragedy.
We might have been well on our way to avert Gotrek's tragic fate thanks to that cushy clan membership & guild position at K8P getting him away from the environment that would have lead to his slayerdom. And all that thanks to sheer dumb luck of him being the one designing the steam wagons.
And then through that very same dumb luck his life is cut short. Not through enemy action. Not through heroic sacrifice. But quite literally because 'Rocks fall, everybody dies'. It's Abelheim's glorious last charge all over again.
Anyway, back to the expedition. Whether we press forward or turn back, we lack the food capacity to do so without foraging. The Nomad Tribe we had the food deal with lies just ahead, so we will be able to recover the food we'll use up reaching Karag Dum, so pressing on should be net neutral.

If we all get through this, I hope we can bring her to K8P. She doesn't seem like she'd be welcome in Zhufbar, I don't know if she's got anything to support herself on in Ostermark.
