If I failed to embark with any fire-safe materials or a pick, can I make a kiln?

Sounds unlikely.

...how do you fail to embark with a pick? Are you some kind of filthy above-ground living human?

Not that I know of.
What I would do is cut down a bunch of trees, make wooden walls, and wait it out for the first caravan.

The pick I did on purpose. It's a challenge. The mistake was not bringing a hunk of clay.

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
