I offered goods to a few merchants (I assumed it meant offer items for trade to see if they accepted the deal) and wondered where the goods I asked for in trade were after they left a few times.  Then I realized I was supposed to hit the trade key.

Please note this is my first time playing. I thought I was doing pretty good for being 8 hours in. I dug down, found magma, and looked up how to use magma forges. Now that I had that done, I found adamantine. I dug it out immediately, but I kept getting warm stone notifications, so it took forever. To make things worse, a megabeast had interrupted my adamantine mine. Then another, then another. Then a siege. I was about to lose, but barely made it through it all with a bit of population left. I was 9 hours in at this point. I built my population up, and was in the one-fifties. I mined more adamantine. I get the message, "you have discovered an eerie cavern..." I checked the wiki. I lost all will to live.

wonderful. It's so rare that someone digs that far down without knowing what to expect

I lost my very first fort to the Surprise when I was only about 5 hours in, 80+ population, 2 deaths, no sign of goblins.

Trained up legendary armor and weapons smiths, working on military, take a quick peek with reveal to see that fastest route for my steel clad army to breach hfs...

Solid semi-molten rock. No path through.

Dangit!

no candy spires?

There's some candy, then iirc 10 solid layers of semi-molten rock, then hfs... Which looked... Weird. Looked like 3 separate caverns. Shame, too. Webber down there. I'll stick a screen in this post when I get up tomorrow :p

This is the embark I posted the seed for, the one with 30,000 bars of steel worth of ores in the first 10z. I did a 2x2, volcano lower left, in case anyone wants to look at it :p

It's funny how cave-ins make you realize, seemingly for the the first time, exactly what is above what. Magma ducts should NEVER go over the booze stockpile.

Quickly try playing again. Of course, as expected, I'm mass murdered by a weregiraffe. Thank the gods I didn't lose one person. That one person happened to be a vampire. Crap.

Was going okay for a new fortress and had an okay migration wave of 8 with 3 kids, then 10 with 6 kids >.< ... and after all that disappointment I got a 2400 dwarfbuck wooden hatch as my first artifact

Put it in the dining room or dormitory! Suddenly, the room is epic!
