Your marksdwarves are using adamantine bolts, which are pretty useless against armor due to being incredibly light. Steel is best for projectiles, though bronze and iron are cheaper and can still pierce through armor.
"...and then a wall of magma descends from the heavens, incinerating our entire front vanguard in an instant. They screamed as their flesh melted from their bones, their faces an expression of absolute horror before dissolving into nothingness. Those images will haunt me forever."
Asmel actually got a happy ending - he married one of his friend's daughters and had three children with her before dying of old age.
At this point(year 15, about 12 years after the fort started), the vault population is already into its 4th or 5th generation. The dwarves of the first 2 generations have all died out.

By examining the types of blood, you can tell what sort of fighting has been taking place in the fortress.
