    $\begingroup$ Seems similar to puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/7819/… $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Similar but not the same! Since here the dwarves are deaf, the same strategy used for the other one doesn't work here. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The dwarves being deaf shouldn't impact the strategy in the other answer. They don't need to hear what the others say, they can still just follow the representative of the equivalence class and only finitely many will die. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @3m0o Note that your original question still does not ask for an optimal solution but that you come up with a strategy to "save all but finitely many dwarves" which theosza's answer does. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Also, if there is a better solution to the other question, wouldn't it be sensible to post it as an answer there? $\endgroup$
