Well, I was wandering around a cave system, and then came across a deep pit. I was a bit bored of wandering around that level, so I figured i'd head down it. Only one issue; it's blocked by a fungiwood tree.

Is there any way to destroy this seemingly insurmountable foe?

[Tirion]

Can you set it on fire? If not, use dfhack, 'extirpate'.

[Smithbeard]

I can set it on fire, but how long will it take to burn to nothing?

If you sleep/wait it should probably be done.Not sure though.

[Smithbeard]

Resorted to using DFHack instead. I wonder if i'll ever find the surface again.

You can retire as a peasant in places far, far above you.
But if you want it the hard way, you could abuse the "Reveal" command in DFHack and look up to scout the area for some caves that go up, and then find your way to said caves.
And then repeat that for every cavern level.

Return to the surface  ? Surely you want to delve deeper and nab yourself a lightsaber from a slade structure first.

And slay some forgotten beasts with it. If you can sneak/run away from the clowns, of course.

There are no clowns unless you go out of your way to find them.

Don't get your hopes too high on finding one either, I spent around an hour reveal-scumming with DFHack to no avail with a husk.
Ending up taking a nice swim in the great magma sea, emerging a bit burned and with my sight "lost". Walked around for a bit, then retired it in a village far, far above.

tl;dr - Massive boredom.

As far as I know, there is no way to destroy a tree in adventure mode, aside from potentially using DFhack to cause a cave in or something. Maybe tiletypes tool can just vanquish the tree, I dunno. What I do know is that, while you can set a tree on fire, it will still be there when the fire goes out. You can then set it on fire again, and again, and again, but nothing of interest happens.

Wait, really? I suppose that's correct, though, because everyone knows that the [FIREIMMUNE] tag turns you into a tree.

Tried this, but could not find any exit from the current cavern level even with reveal command. There is another way: with DFHack declare an area as outside, then you can switch to fasttravel and leave.

It takes a long time to do so, much, much less so than finding the lightsaber - but still a very dull amount of time. (And it doesn't help that there's a bug in adventurer mode that seemingly wipes the cavern populations.)
Though that sure seems handy.

[Rumrusher]

man I have the answer for the question but it's quite simple.
use an axe*.

*dfhack update to get advfort so that you gain the ability to do fort mode jobs in adventure mode like cutting down trees.
