I guess I would cower inside, for a while, as clouds of infernal mist glide near our entrance.

Eventually, as we got hungry, we would slaughter our animals. I'd probably, as said above, become a metalworker. Comparatively calm life.

I'd be helping fixing the roof over the freaking huge above ground fort and get bad thoughts about the constant rain.

If it's up to normal speed and I have to live there? Legendary grower. Of all the starting seven, it's the one who does nothing but grow, brew and cook who lives the longest in most fortresses. Dedicated farming dwarves are usually homeless and ignored in the larger scheme of things, but they get to use the still and the kitchen and that makes up for not being famous. I must make sure my highest skill is growing so the overseer sees not to draft me from my title. If I overpractice a skill that sounds unimportant, such as cheesemaking or thresher, then I will almost certainly be drafted and die in pain and fire.

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

I would spend the rest of my life at the forges near the magma sea, either as a farmer, carpenter or a metalworker.

I would appoint myself as baron/mayor.
Lord knows those little midgets need some leadership.

Electricity baby.

Screw fossil fuels. We have water and magma in copious supply.  Why pump the magma around dangerously, when we can direct high voltages for even greater fun?

You see elves? I see crispy critters.  There is a reason for making the trade depot out of solid gold now you see. :)
Sounds like we have a new prospect for Kentucky Fried Elven

I've just been reassigned from roof building squad to cobra handler.... Errr, I'm no good with snakes. Ah, so you just didn't want to lose anyone valuable, great.

I would use my ability to swim  (or at least navigate a stream without drowning) to smuggle supplies to an inaccessible location and build my own fort far away from that shithole my dwarves live in.

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.

QUICK! TIN FOIL HATS EVERYONE!

Cook/brewer/farmer/marksdwarf/administrator.

I would release spores around all the dwarf women in order to ensure my bloodline carries on. xD

I'd probably say a short prayer and scramble towards wilderness amidst the flaming masses as the bloody masons didn't seal the hallway to certain candy cane...

I'd find the fanciest Roc-based roast and devour it. Then I'd stay the hell away from the craftshall untill that moody guy is done with his mood and his inevitable madness.
