In the second year of Twistanvil, the dwarves breached the first and second cavern layers, and found a Magma Pipe leading all the way down to the Magma sea. They are proceeding to wall the Magma Pipe away from the rest of the caverns to the best of their abilities, before moving the forges into the underground.
The dwarves were lucky to find that the water pool and the magma pool were so close together. Unfortunately, the water pool is rather small, and infinite water is not available for Obsidian production.
At least not *Naturally* Available.
The Right side of the caverns has been walled off - next the right side will be walled off, giving the dwarves total freedom to engineer the lake and the lava - finally, the magma pipe will me diverted and then blocked, to prevent the visit of fiery visitors. - Caranha

How many people live in the fortress? What do you have planned next?

Hey! About 70 dwarves live in the fortress currently.
My current plan is to finish the double Kaolinite wall all around the fortress, but this will take some time. Along with that, I need to explore the second cavern level (where a Forgotten Beast lives) in order to find a renewable source of water.
Of course there are many more plans, but those are the two most immediate ones.
