The snake enthusiast idea sounds good. Maybe ask to see them, knock out the guard with our power, and steal the eggs.
Someone mentioned that lamia summoning used snake eggs due to their association with snakes. What would happen if we instead used, say, a crocodile or chicken egg?

It tackled the difficult problem of balancing play past 20th level. Granted, it failed, but still...it's not like it was child's play.

Try again.

How much was lost? Everything below ground, or just the bedrooms/meeting area?

You'd be surprised what sorts of wood substitutes elves make.
Once, they had had a revolution led by some great figurehead, who made ETHIC:BUTCHER_ANIMAL allowed, and they proceeded to use bone instead of wood. Because chopping wood was still unthinkable.

Elves grow wooden weapons, though. They just don't chop down trees.

Without charcoal, they're crippled.

In terms of fuel they often buy lignite from dwarves and in some cases i have seen them using Charcoal like stuff from ropereeds and Biogas. Sometimesyou even get solar-smelters.

Last I checked, solar smelters, electricity, and the like are pretty much never found in metalless societies.
And again, what mods are you using? Vanilla dwarves are too paranoid and xenophobic to export tons of fuel or a single anvil or smithing hammer to any nation they don't have a permanent alliance with, and vanilla elves don't break such alliances without risking civil war.
Seriously, whatever's going on in that mod is awesome. What mod is it?

Sesquipedalian loquaciousness is not an adequate explanation for your agreement, but thanks.

Cool.
Keep up the good work and dig out a central meeting area with bedrooms for us adjacent to it. The meeting area will be for only important dwarves like the founders. I call that room!

You divide up the loot as advised. D'Toh claims the pick, you get the helm, which has a neat-but-kinda-annoying glowing stone set in the front. You already see pretty well without any light--you think that the glowey thing might be a heat sense--and the light could tip off enemies. It has to be useful, though... right?

You explore the rest of the mines, and find a few tunnels, some unsorted silver ore, and a small cavern, with luminescent ooze on the ceiling and lichens on the floor. Strange little creatures flit amongst the taller of the inches-tall lichen "forest." There is an outcropping that I'Gix notes would make a good place to sleep--defensible and probably covered in more soft lichens.
Investigation reveals that there's a doorway carved into the outcropping, visible by its heat-glow and partly hidden by a cunning illusion. Anyone with the vision of a human would never have seen the doorway, and probably barely seen the wall.

Well, what do you do about this?
