found Tiger Iron (which I'll assume can be smelted)
Nope, 'tis a low value gem. Cut it and encrust your finished goods with it. Adds a bit of value.

Don't worry I found Adamantine and where some magma is... bad part? I need to bust a rock out which could potentially melt a we little dwarf miner, 2nd bad part I want to transfer it up but pumps (I DON' GET 'EM! Maybe if I stare at it more I'll understand) and the fact that I don't yet have a mechanic is halting that progress. So I might just have to build my smelter down in the depths.

Also warhammers are badass, killed a troll and a magma crab like it was nothing. But the magma crab almost took out my blacksmith with a glob of lava, but somehow he came out unscathed, no burns or nothing.

Don't mine the candy, you might break into the circus and the clowns are mean, which can lead to a lot of fun.

You don't just need mechanics for magma pumps - you need masons, architects, weaponsmiths (or glassmakers), and carpenters.

Stop digging up the horse's corpse for a new round of beatings.

That looks like complete gibberish and probably is spoilers, but I already did and nothing happened. I'm working on just smelting it using coal and other shit.

Whippage doesn't fuck around, several hours ago I saw my guys curbstomping a blind cave orge that wandered into the dining hall. The thing's head was probably black, blue, and all kinds of purple. I had to send in the military to mercy kill the thing, shit even the children joined in to curb stomp Shrek's whiter cousin.

After that I started up a glorious metal industry and now I've got a shitton of Iron maces since the mountain home is filled with lying assholes whom changed their minds. They want goblets and scepters now, so I made some golden goblets for when they get back.

One of my fisherdwarves was attacked by a alligator, so he escaped into the fortress, where everyone just punched it in the head, buising the muscle. My miner came to eat, and 1-hitted it. Shame. I was planning on taming that thing too.

One simply doesnt smelt candy.

Meanwhile:

My dwarves thought it'd be a great idea to embark RIGHT NEXT TO a volcano.

Lol Zaw.
So...they walked all the way up the mountain, basically to the point where magma could touch them and went.

They all died, except for my 2 miners. Coyotes attacked the rest of my group and they dodged into the lava. My mountain tuskoxes of course got hella mad and flipped their shit, but still. The fort is still working fine.

This is probably how the other dorfs felt about it.

I am no longer legitimately considering leaving this forum

Nah, the miners did have a couple tantrums, but otherwise, I got a huge migrant wave as the first one (13 dwarves)
