[DF] Dwarven Cleric and ancestor worship?

I'm guessing the tantrums were game breaking ... even before they developed a "feral mood" and started making Zaklawe chairs out of the rest of the party...

Scary. Having said that, I must admit that my players seem to have the tactical sensibilities of DF dwarves. Or namely, the lack thereof...

I am thankful that none of my players read this forum. Just saying...

Mind you, if a player misses a session, the PC could have snuck off to a hidden workshop to make an epic bucket or something...

Thanks for the input from all above.

Been thinking about what the spirit of an ancestor would want.
Possibly little things like freshening the water in the cisterns, and making fresh air circulate throughout an underground settlement.
Long term goals could include imbuing the settlement's residents with a sense of duty to each other, or inspiring them to excellence in masonry, crafting, or metal work.

Considering this in the context of what spells etc would be readily available to the dwarven cleric PC.
