In-Game Text

"Others taking feveral Leaps towards the Bank of the River, at laft Leap in which their Feet foremoft, Body upright meeting the Water firft with their Buttocks and Calves of their legs…this way is very fafe, and the beft of all."

– Melchisédec Thevenot

The blue depths are as treacherous and pleasurable as any hazard of the Natural World. Constant paddling puts undue fatigue on the body and leads quickly to exhaustion. But not so for the Pilgrim who has learned Long Distance Swimming, as he has honed his muscles and mastered the movements and breathing necessary to last longer in deep water!

Swimming

Swim icon.png Swim can be toggled on or off to allow for the crossing of The Deep icon.png The Deep tiles of Water. Swim drains Phlegm based on your Skill at Swimming. Running out of Phlegm while Swimming will cause you to become Knocked Out. Most Creatures cannot Swim so combat can be disengaged from in a pinch by Swimming into The Deep. Notably, both Wishpoosh icon.png Wishpooshes can Swim and Furfur icon.png Furfurs can fly over Water.
