9th Slate, 1058, Mid-Spring
Ok, let me put things in perspective.
Our stocks:

This isn't really good at all, we need to start growing crap as soon as we can. I should also make the record keeper do some work.
Our seven dwarf crew consists of:
A miner
A woodworker
A woodcutter (wtf?)
A stoneworker
A jeweler (WTF)
A fisherdwarf
and his fish cleaner apprentice.
And now for a picture of the base and how close stuff is:

That S is a giant cave spider and the R is a giant rat. The dwarves are about thirty steps away from doom. The whole chasm area down there contains many dangerous flying creatures so a magma moat won't do anything much later on. Oh yeah, that reminds me, the moat and the moat into the magma furnace area are not protected against any fire monsters who feel like screwing with us, so now we have a permanant problem there that will probably ruin many marksdwarves lives. Good thing is that the workshops are very organised.

The bedrooms look ok, but they are not comfortable being 1x3 tiles large and all.
There is already a farm plot but it's so far away that I don't care, I'm diverting the river to a room or something. I'm also making a well before the dwarves get pissed off. I've also noticed a passage that goblins can use to get in the fort if they feel like it, and I'll fix it. No artifacts yet. The most alarming thing right now is the fact that we have 5 or so meat and fish.
There.
