Argue with his clone over who who is supposed to build that wall sealing off the caverns, then get interrupted by the giant flying iguana made of fire with deadly dust.

WWUD if he met Old Man Henderson?

Worship him. Then be killed by him.

WWUD if Old Man Henderson showed up as a megabeast to destroy the fortress?

Start carving out as many gnome statues and figurines as dwarvenly possible as an attempt to appease him. Shortly thereafter having the fort destroyed by both exploding hockey pucks and horrors from the deep as Henderson walks off with every single figurine, statue, and engraving of a gnome within the fort.

That crazy old man would probably capture some live ones from the caverns, too.

WWUD if Hastur came looking for Old Man Henderson shortly afterwords?

What would the ELVES do if Urist sold them the nice leather bound tome (menacing with spikes of literature) the weirdo in yellow left behind?

Old Man Henderson is an iconic character from a Call of Cthulhu campaign posted in /tg/ of 4chan a few years ago.
A drunken and scottish, possibly insane marysue character that managed deeds that no CoC player should be able to. Had a gnome fetish. Killed Hastur
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Old_Man_Henderson
The King in Yellow is a being from Robert Chamber's book The King in Yellow (1895). He had borrowed the name Hastur from some previous writer I can't remember and used the name a couple of times (but not for the King in Yellow character) Later Lovecraft inserted both the name and the play King in Yellow (a play that "plays" a central role in The King in Yellow) into his Cthulhu mythos but I don't think that he never diractly called the King in Yellow character 'Hastur'. Then August Derleth started calling the King in Yellow (the character) 'Hastur' and used it in his Cthulhu mythos books.
Basically Hastur is a character from The King in Yellow that was later named and inserted into Cthulhu mythos. An eldrich beign that covers itself in a yellow robe and doesn't show its face. The first act of the King in Yellow play (a play script) within the King in Yellow book is supposed to be extremely interesting and makes the readers eager to continue reading. When they start reading the second act things start getting a bit strange and squigly...

Ever read any of H.P. Lovecraft's stuff?

Hastur is an ancient god in Lovecraft's series of books. Henderson came from the D20 game "Call of Cthulhu". He was someone's character, and is one of the few people to actually beat the game.

Derleth used Hastur in his Cthulhu mythos books. Lovecraft barely mentioned Hastur, the King in Yellow or Yellow sign. I think he only mentioned Hastur once and even then he did not mention if it was the name of a place or a deity. Current Hastur is Derleth's doing.

Anyway, back to WWUD

Leave ina  fit of rage. When they return to their hippie internment camp, they give the book "a proper burial", because it is made of paper. A tree grows over top of the grave. An evil tree. It syphons all the life from the surrounding flora. When it matures, the black, oozing pods release spores which infect the elves. Overnight, their minds twist into something grotesque. They begin construction on an inter-dimensional portal. By spilling the blood of their newborns, they summon through the portal a creature of nightmares. On a nearby hill, a bearded figure shoots a flaming crossbow bolt. With the hidden barrels of gunpowder lit, the entire retreat goes up in flames. It was the Dwarven trader. And he knew this thing must be destroyed. The elves were merely pawns used to summon it into the material world, so that good dwarves may not be sacrificed instead.

Remember the burning elves and weep upon realizing that such a beautiful thing was just a dream

WWUD if he was digging into a candy vein and found a mysterious message carved in the inside. "CRAZY HASSAN'S USED CAMEL EMPORIUM."

That's always what they find. The clown car opens when the doomed miner attempts to return the camel, as it was a bit more than barely used.

WWUD if he was sent to reclaim Besmarkezat?

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Use it to enslave other slaves who must then help him capture more slaves.

WWUD if another member of the community didn't find slavery to be an unthinkably horrendous attrocity?

Enslave him, because he's obviously alright with it.
