Sure. Also, try researching nature magic.

Geothermal phlogiston.

Pick up the human and try to find help. Use fire breath as a signal.

((I swear, that firey breath is a Swiss Army Ability...))

Keep a world-wary eye out for any movement.
If there's any meat left once the others are all done, eat a bit.

With what, my bare hands?
Edit: As a building material?

That's pretty much what we did. Materials have been pretty abstract, presumably there was some stone from where you dug your tunnel just sitting around.

I was kinda trying to get out of range.
I thought the fortress was doomed and planned to forge some (crude) adamantine gear, actually. A wall never occurred to me. Sorry about that.
Having settled that bit, when would I have made the wall?

In the turn where you tore down ours?

Out of what, my bare hands?
I didn't even say, "Tear down the wall." Cassandra chose that action because I couldn't reach the forges.

Yes, the stone is pretty much just cluttering the tunnels, having not really been hauled. Thats a total of EIGHT sixes on the wrong side.

Walls are built in-game with stone and the bare hands of dorfs. You had stone, you had bare hands, you had time. 

I didn't know I had stone and didn't think I had time.

Incidentally, I really hope the deviations from game mechanics don't extend to demons knocking down walls...

Actually, they'd just shatter it. This isn't strictly adhering to DF.

You may be screwed.

Make sure turrets are set to "Shoot At All Enemies"
Create large starship, big enough to hold all Aperture Science laboratories several times over. Make sure it includes weapons, armor, and life support.
Move all Aperture Science assets and personnel to said starship.
Take off.

I mean with the reverse truename thing. What are you going to be reversing to do what to where and why?

I could take Word of Drowning, which normally robs a creature of its ability to breathe water, but when reversed gives a creature the ability to breathe water (and a swim speed). I was trying to decide between that (which would make me even more of a "misc. utility caster," or taking an utterance which would make me better at combat.

Hans, cold climate. The maot thing is a good idea if we can keep the water as a liquid though.

Where there's a will and a wizard, there's a way.
