(Myroc : technically nobody has actually given the command yet.
Armok : it only becomes godmodding when it is not in the spirit of the game.
If Ash just built the thing in one turn, it indicates that that's the type of game it is.)

Disassemble tank.

Go Outside.

Rebuild Tank.

Request map to nearest elf settlement.

((Finally!))

"Hmm. Alright. Urist McBolts, I know just what to do! Disassemble the tank in to pieces that are small enough to transport through this fortress and rebuild it outside."
"GENIUS!"

*The dwarves eagerly jump on the tank and cut it up in little pieces, then start hauling them to - hopefully - outside. After passing many, many, many more doors, you finally reach the stairs to the outside world! You, Urist McBolts and some unnamed collegues start to randomly vomit around the place as the first rays of sunlight reach your eyes.*

"OH GOD. THE VOMIT. IT HURTS."
"Don't worry *VOMIT* Man of the Future and Past. Your cave adaption will stop after a few hours of vomiting..."
"OH GOD."

When you finally recover from your vomiting spree, you have a chance to look at your surrounding. You are on a grass plain with a lot of underground dirt on it. The plain is completely surrounded by mountains.

"Urist Mc Bolts! Get me a map to the nearest elven settlement while we work on rebuilding the tank."
"Ay ay! By the way, sir. We have always been mentioning to "it" as a tank, a tesla tank or a tesla tank thing. Wouldn't it be a lot easier if we gave it a proper name?"

I love that you used the acronym MotF&tP when the guys first name is Bob. Acronyms kick ass.

Bob (quietly, to McBolts) "We just cre- *VOMIT* - created a giant unstoppable war machine that spontaneously developed sentience. I think we may have problems bigger than elves. Let's just point it in the right direction for now. " (To Tethe) "Tethe, was it? The elves are that way. Get to it then."

"Tethe it is then."

"Alright. Here's the map."

                          ^^              |   ^^
                                   ^      |    ^^   ^^
                           X - - - - - - -       ^^



"Right. Tethe, let's go!"

*The party, consisting of the man of the future and past, Urist McBolts and some escorts who carry supplies, starts their rather short and not very dangerous journy. But suddenly, the party encounters a rather large human caravan that is stranded. They are blocking a passage your party needs to cross to reach the elves. The sun is starting to set.*

What will the man of the future and past do?

> Tethe simply drives/levitates/hovers? over the human caravan, somehow squashing one of the wagons and a human. The humans, who were at first puzzled at your rather... special party, now start screaming. Several armoured-clad men take out their weapons. They don't look happy. Do we run or make Tethe FIGHT?

Ask Tethe very politely if it would like to kill some humans for us.

Then convince them that Tethe is in fact Ozymandias, King of Kings, God of Caves, (Wizard), and that they should bow to her and worship her as their mistress.

How is that shocking? Other than the lightning paper clip, of course.

I knew that the second I heard that name.

Vehicles are female.  Well established fact of grammar.  ;D
