– King James I, Daemonologie

Swimming will be disabled by default; to enable it select the Adventure menu and then click on the Toggle Swimming button.

WARNING: Swimming across even a small river uses a significant amount of phlegm for a starting player, and can easily cause an unwary pilgrim to KO.
