DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Accidental Challenge Fort?

So, I embarked into a Terrifying biome with thralling weather; this, in itself, isn't the problem. I knew that much when I set out, from previous (failed) efforts to establish a foothold in the region. All in all, I was quite happy with how things were going, even. Sure, I didn't save everyone, but I got four dwarves walled away safely when a cloud got the other three! Considering that I got everything but three barrels of booze, a splint, and a bunch of coal in with them, that's actually a fine start for somewhere like this.
...and then I went to build my forge. It turns out that I accidentally embarked with an anvil that isn't fire-safe, because I forgot to check materials carefully pre-embark.
So, given that, how would you suggest I go about setting up a trade depot without dying? Bear in mind there's a thrall on the surface, besides the haunting mist, and giant insects that can also get thralled if I'm unlucky. (Right now it's giant flies, so they'd even be flight-capable.)
