Asax and his tribe will worship you as the Lightbringer, after you smooth a gem cluster near their camp and engrave it with lightsource rune.
Or deem you as the embodiment of all the evil in the world who defiled the darkness and and drove them away from their village by filling their former homes with the horrifying power of light.

You need to make a shield. Try and get some extra leather for one?

You will also need a flask or waterskin.

In the mean time, a massive meteor plunging from the skies strikes the earth! On top of the mountainhome.
caving in 40+ Z levels of the mountainhome. Leaving a crater in a 80 tile radius.

Luckily you were in an isolated mining shaft at the time of impact.

You return to a mess of mangled everything. The few living beings showing up from isolated sectors. Screams of pain, and torment. followed by a few echoing calls filled with determination.

Then the Dead started to come back to life..

It started small, a little ruckus, what seemed like unco-operation. That thought ended when one party to the disagreement started eating the others' skin off their right side jaw. It only escalated from there..

Now sealed into the depths of an isolated sector, we heard screams in and out for a good amount of time. But all is silent from behind the door now.

There are seven of us here.. For the past week Malgok and I have been mining a way out. luckily we're in one of the underground farming sectors, but I must say there is something eerie and sobering about working in the expansive fields with so few dwarves about. Like wise with this sectors great hall, so empty..

Finally reached the surface! We've talked about what we would do when we got out. But now finding the overwhelming expanse of open space, we were all at an utter loss.

"let's head for the old mountainhome. Maybe we'll meet other survivors rallying."

I thought about it as my fingers idly followed the crude lines of the rune on my pickaxe. Since that is the only suggestion, (and only known nearby dwarven civ) I joined in the communal agreement, and we set out.

You  carefully sneak around in the cavern, watching all around you. After two hours of walking you discover a lizard man tribe. You've heard tales of them before... not the most friendly bunch. You do spot a treasure chest and even a waterskin. You're sure there are more lizard men around, but these are the only three you can spot currently.

Make Sparklehem glow and throw it as hard as you can over the lizardmen. Hopefully it will distract them and some of them will go after it.

I don't think we ever practiced throwing.

We're not aiming for anything. Just throw it, then brain them while they're distracted. Wait, I know where this is going. You'll be spotted as soon as you jump out by OTHER lizardmen that you can't see at the moment.

Observe them and see if there are any more hidden near by if not.

Charge them and make light to disorient them while u attack because we need that water skin.

toss a rock on the far side of the passage (in your line of sight)
repeat in different locations to attempt to get a rough count of lizardmen.
(hopefully we can accomplish this simple task without being caught/killed.)
Or we can tell a clotheir that we saw webs this way. And then observe if the lizardmen kill him (are hostile?), and possibly how many there are.

Then with that extra information we can think of what to do.

roughly translates to:  "The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one".

Taumata for short.

.Walk up to them, with your chest out and your head high. Say "Behold, reptilians! You shall do everything I say, lest you be struck down by my mighty Beard."
