Ah. I suspect that 1,1 was the "good" option then, even before considering the colours.

Oh,that's not good at all. either center yellow refers to 10 years time dilation, or the state of the survivors.

IIRC Dum was dead and there was a Bloodthirster in it.

I was thinking vertical was corruption because in canon they weren't corrupted and horizontal was their situation because in canon they weren't defeated yet but their strategic situation was doomed. Mind you I haven't read the books so all I know about canon's Dum comes from this thread and the wiki, please correct me if I got anything wrong.

Corruption level. In which case horizontal would go "lots, a few, none" for survivors and vertical "Uncorrupted, tempted, corrupted"

My guess is that one of the rolls was for survivors, with the 2 being the most likely, with the other options being a lot of survivors vs. no survivors, leaving us with just a much harder fight for the same reward.

Though due to time shenanigans the 200 years on the outside became 20 years in Dum, so given that it is a few decades before the second expedition there would be more than a tiny handful (though still a small number).

Time dilated to 1/10th speed. Small number of uncorrupted dwarves holding back chaos.
Also Boney insightfulled my post about not reading too deeply into the color choices. I think we'll just have to wait and see.

...Question, can anyone remember if the few Dum survivors had gone radical or not in canon?

I hope you're right. Obviously in terms of d100s higher is always better, and d6s has generally been the case, but still. People tend to fret.
Ok I said I would not embrace thread madness but hat if there are a lot more survivors than cannon. There was 60,000 dawi. Why if most of them survived and we have to try to lead a throng of tens of thousands of daw back to civilization. It make the fairly pleasant journey we have had look easy.

"And that's the scout's report, no way in until that army is gone"
"Bah, i remember every way in like i was here yesterday, me and the wizard can make contact with the survivors and organize a 2 front attack on those bastards"
...
"Borek! took you long enough, but our clan is strong, no feeble-minded chaos worshippers will ever breach Dum through force, come, the elders will want to talk to you, i can fill you in on the situation on our way there"
...
"And anyway, we figured out that you can make the burritos with mushrooms instead and they are just as good! we've been fine ever since! wait until you try them Borek! .. Borek?"
...
"No survivors, you sure? a real shame that, still don't understand why you had to collapse the entrance behind you tho"

If there's that many, than we have no capacity to get them anywhere.

If there's enough that taking them home is completely unfeasible, there's an argument that they're actually somewhat holding out.

If there are that many, then Mathilde or Deathwing or both zoom back to Civilization and let the Karaz Ankor know that they have to organize an evacuation.

I've read that book. And I've seen how Boney has used the red yellow green scheme of tiering. Doesn't look good.

Hm. My immediate impression from that dice table is to be frightened, but we know for a fact that the waystone in Dum is still operation, which should be a strong indicator that we actually got one of the better possible results...
Will have to wait and see.

I hope vertical was for radicalness then. Kickflip zone for the win!

It may be that vertical indicates survivors, canon's green would represent the handful of survivors that were canonically there while red may indicate many more than that. Then again that may be too optimistic, ultimately we'll have to

So... some survivors, but some very alarming kickflips?
