How goes the fort?

The fort was going well and then it crashed! [...] (And then the power went out and wiped the writeup I had for the first half of the year)
I sometimes think this Dwarf Fortress thing is cursed...
Ok, it's fall and I have to leave it for tonight. Not a whole lot going on, but some notes so far:
- Dug some bedrooms
- Got a ton of migrants and used them to start a military
- Started digging for fuel
- Built a big walled in area outside
- NO FUEL ANYWHERE
- Traded for some basic supplies with the elves
- Digging for MAGMA now
- Underground caverns, but no magma
- A herd of some kind of huge wild animals spawned indoors or something? Lost on of our military guys dealing with them

Hmm wood harvesting means going... outside. Beyond the safety of Mighty walls... i do not condone this course of action.
Victory?
Yeah, I find that restricting dwarves to burrows can also create an insane quantity of announce spam when there are injured or dead dwarves to recover.

Still working on it! Losing more dwarves than I'd like, but we've still got a ton of them. The biggest problem right now is the guy webbed to the floor spamming the announcement log
...
Our fort got sieged by spiderman?
So, we've found magma. I'm working on getting the metalworking industry going. I'll likely run out of time.
Annnnd now we've got a goblin attack. The military didn't stand a chance without proper equipment. Drawbridge is closed. We'll need to draft a new force and get them equipped. Luckily metalworking is underway now.
For the next leader:
F4 will take you to the smelting area. F2 and F3 are chokepoints on the way down there, in case something goes terribly wrong and you need to lock the doors.
Weapons and armor are going to be a priority. Maybe dig out a room inside for the military to train so they don't go up against the hordes completely untrained.
Most pressing concern right now, I think, will be making barrels so we can keep drink stocks up. Might be worth making an expedition into the top cavern to harvest some wood. I've also dug an empty room to the north that should allow wood to grow too. We'll also need to come up with a solution to dump refuse without access to the outdoors.

Nope. Xar is next.
Looks like we've lost contact with Xar...?
I'd say that you're in before D called it so take it.
