The name chosen by the dwarves was propably supposed to be intimidating, but quite soon the fortress would start living up to its name. It would later turn out that the fort, "Lantern", would contain horrors and fire from the depths, "Hell".
After setting up normal outpost functions like craft-, food-, drink- and other productions, I started looking for magma to start the metalsmithing. That was the beginning of the end...
The chasm was discovered while looking for magma to start the metalsmithing operations. It was quickly sealed to prevent any dark creatures from crawling into the fort. - Retales

This fort is looking nice, except for the dead bodies and everything, but KEEP IT UP. You must SURVIVE.

Honestly, I don't know. They (the elves) didn't seem to come towards the fort after they were discovered, even though the route was clear then. A few migrants and some animals got shot, but most of them got past the elves. And I could wall the entrance shut no problems after they were in, and the elves were still in the same position as when they were detected.
Hooray for that :]
