The only way to fill the chasm with water/lave is to floor it's bottom level.

There're some problems with double depots sometimes so I recommend to use a single depot.

You know, when a dwarf brews booze he's vomit/blood/dirt-encrusted and some of that nice things plus beard hairs fall down in the keg. Then the cook makes the water to evaporate and all remains are cooked into a lavish meal =).

They don't usually want to drop them, but you can dump their items.
Also why did he put his chainmail off? My dwarves wear platemail on top of chainmail.

when you have something wrong with temperature you can have odd results like freezing in a cloud of boiling leather =).

Red = season is close to an end and you can't change crops for it. Switch to next season.
You should have plump helmets avaliable from still, make sure they're brewable.
And farming workshop requires certain labour, not farming. Hower over it with "q". And make sure you have enough barrels.

[edit] Ahh, you beat me to it =).
[edit2] Lol beaten twice.

It's very strange. Usually dwarves share beds only if they're lovers/spouses. I think the closest realistic reason that he was VERY tired and the bed was unowned.

It means that the goblin broke free.
Try to place cages as close to each other as possible.

I.e. [z]-stocks, find appropriate option (i.e. legwear) and press TAB to see the full list of items. Find some "small cave spider silk loincloth" and DUMP it! =)

Just build another level on top of surface and make artificial space between entrance and floor and place a drawbridge there.

The goblin archers will certainly appreciate having these convenient holes to snipe at your civilian dwarves through...

If you make your entrance as outside area and avoid open straight lines (i.e. build it in "Z" shape) your dwarves are safe.

And be careful with your went: i'd suggest you to build a wall around it, maybe even from glass (for dwarves to amuse). Or you will have babies/occasional dodgin dwarves in magma.

P.S. Aquifier + magma = limitless obsidian.
