Too bad the gobbos killed it. Whenever a web shooting titan or forgotten beast appears, and if you don't currently have a functioning silk farm. Well, the best thing to do is capture the critter and put it to work. Just arrange for a path into your fortress with a segment of that path having fortifications carved into it that can be blocked with a drawbridge (to shut down line of sight for further construction, adding/replacing bait animals, etc). And a drawbridge at either end to trap the beast. And to make sure you have enough time to actually get a beard to "pull the lever", place a few doors in the target area so the beast will pause for a while to destroy 'em. Once you have the basics setup, the beast will quite rapidly come running and get trapped. The produced silk isn't all that valuable (same value as from cave spiders, not the extra value from a GCS, but still good enough to keep all your beards well clothed).
