I would definitely want to be a weapon or armorsmith, because overseers usually won't kill those for entertainment.

Dig myself a burrow in the volcano and hide enough food and booze for years.

And then add a minecart ride when those get implemented. And alchemist's lab at the bottom. Syndrome that causes transformation into a llama? gonna mod that tomorrow!

Contract vampirism. Steal a book from a necro tower and learn the secrets of unlife. Wade out into the ocean.

On the day that I return from the abyss with my army of zombie whales and giant squid, the world will learn the true meaning of fear.

Until you die from a fluffy wambler to the head.

Instantly be conscripted into hauling blocks hundreds of feet above ground in freezing temperatures.

"King DZA has been ecstatic lately. He admired his own fortress recently."

"King DZA has been requested to be in the military and guard the bridge."

At this point, I'd take cover from the tantrum spiral  :-\

There's safe. Then there's unsafe. And then there's the average dwarf fort, which remains unrated because the OSHA inspector flatly refused to go anywhere within a dozen miles of the place.

I'd work my way towards the lever of doom, and dance on the burning ruins of it playing a fiddle

Oh... oh dear.

This is the fort I was planning to use for Werecreature !!Science!!

So... I guess the answer to your question is either "Run away, screaming and crying before being torn apart by rabid werellamas," or "Lord over all creation with my invincible weredwarf military," depending on how much success I have.

Become a marksdwarve and snatch up all the metal bolts and best armor.

My forts traditionaly have been held against numerous siges and beasties by the markdwarves, thus they usually get the plush rooms

I would be a kitten and adopt the most miserable dwarf in the fort.
