First proper attempt at adventure mode!

'So the werebeast is not home? Fine, ill sleep in his lair with a fire in the entrance and that should keep him at bay until I wake'
I wake and the fire isn't gone, I sleep again and it still isn't gone. Apparently campfires are eternal.
So my question is how do I retire my adventurer to escape as I heard you can? Or alternatively any advice on how to escape some other way?
Thank you in advance!

You are stuck,escaping by retireing is only possible if there is a town or something above you,you cannot douse campfires

Do you have a pick on you?

Do you have a pick on you?

And does he have a advfort on his person?

[Broken]

No escape without DfHack use, sorry.

If you use Dfhack, you can either use tiletypes to transform a wall in a floor, or give yourself a pick and use advfort to make a exit.

Question about advfort

How do you select where to dig?

I picked downwardstairway, and pushed "." and he just kept running in some random direction.
I have the pick equipped too.


EDIT+

Thanks to Koter, he informed me that you need atleast 1 mining exp skill to dig, so attacking something with a pick should do it.
Also if you are hungry/drowsy/thirsty you may need to eatdrink before digging, because your dwarf thinks it needs to do these things before it completes the dig task (via fortress logic).

EDIT+

Also, i lit a set of campfires around me, in recent version.
And it took about 10 minutes of real time, pushing "." fast to get them to burn out.
(one 1 whole night worth of in-game time)

Maybe sleeping doesn't count for time on campfires, but if you don't have food water, this might be a bad option as well.
