Is this possible?

My char is a vampire, and therefore doesn't need to breathe (I think) and never tires, so in theory it should be possible, but I'm wondering if its ever been done.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, people have done it before. It'll take a while if you aren't crossing a small gap, so you may just want to weigh down a movement key.

I did it recently when i started stuck on a small island. I only had novice swimming yet swam without problems.

in an earlier version I swam in sigt (barely) of the coast of an ocean, leveled up really fast. Only went on land to sleep (and fight bogeymen). However, never had an ocean embark, so it was a bit of a surprise when a sea monster started nipping at my balls.

Keep in mind that you will get thirsty and a source of fresh blood might be difficult to come across while swimming. Among other things, a lot of the animals tend to be so large that it's actually easier to accidentally kill them than it is to strangle them until they pass out.

you will be forced to drink this stuff elves do "water" so take care.

Swimming across a wide ocean is no easy task. Enjoy seeing a bunch of double tildes or whatever they're called, or numbers if you have water depth enabled.

Set out in the morning so you don't get encased in ice.

I have done that as a vampire, it's incredibly tedious. The ocean seems to be devoid of life.

I was listening to "Leviathan" by Alestorm when I read this thread. Can't tell whether it is weird, or awesome.

Pft, Sparkle McSparkle.

Sneak.

Swim underwater.

(Make sure to resurface every once in a while...)

Crutchwalkswimsneak across the warm ocean.

Don't even try it in a cold ocean. Man, I hate how DF models the oceans freezing over every night... so daft.

[borno]

It depends on how big the gap is. I tried it with a Huge gap, but eventually got bored and drowned myself.

[keyreper]

ive done it with a old char before, made it to a island where i was greeted by lions! you can do it with anybody, just easiest with vamp (i used a non vamp char, no necro, no wareism.)
