So I did this with a human PLAY NOW to see how far I could get. No fast travel allowed.

It spawned me in a freezing dwarven town near the north pole, so I headed south-west to the nearest town which happened to be a human town conquered by elves.

En route I was half-freezing to death as I was naked and had no way of getting clothes, I repeatedly got the "You are Freezing!" and "You are Freezing Solid!" messages and took light brown moderately bruised damage to EVERYTHING, including internal organs and eyes, which shut my viewing radius to one square around me. I had gained toughness from throwing and sneaking so I had no issues with passing out or being winded.

Eventually I ate vermin and drank stagnant water all the way into town, healed everything except internal organs and got my eyesight back, and stole much needed waterskins, backpacks, clothes, weapons and armor from town... and then THIS happened

Adventurers can be stricken by melancholy.

I haven't worked out why yet, but when it happens you're always drowsy (i tried sleeping it off many times), your speed is killed, you get a flashing blue ! symbol over you like fortress mode, but you can still control your character.

When I walked next to a pond it automatically JUMPED ME IN and I drowned. 

I know I did not jump into the pool as I would have had to alt enter it.

I had just exited a snowstorm when my adventurer was stricken by melancholy and when I walked up to a pond to refill my water bottle my legendary thrower and pretty well-off adventurer DROWNED herself.

That's weird, that's what happened to my test character. Well, not exactly.
I just woke up, and was hungry and thirsty. I jumped in a pond to get some fresh water I could lick off my body, and I started drowning. I was a Swimmer and had swam in ponds before no problem. I tried drinking, eating until I was full, and dropping all my equipment. I just drowned. For no reason.
There was no flashing '!'.

[Kagus]

jumped

Literally or figuratively?  I.E., did you alt-move into "River, West" or "Open Space, West"?

Here's the Worldgen file, complete with Worldpainter data, for that Medium Earthlike Map: http://pastebin.com/m4221b07f This is the raw image I used, with the landmasses, elevations, and temperature latitudes that it generates with. Terrain Types and histories are unique each time.

I'll be off to the lands of flooding then... I mean The Netherlands.

[Kishmond]

No, I stepped into the pond square below me. I checked and had no wounds either.

[Starvation]

I wish to attend this epic journey.

[Puzzlemaker]

Starvation your avatar cracks me up.

Just sayin'

[zchris13]

It is pretty good.  I want one.

[Hippoman]

Hmm, I think I should totally do this. You know since I don't know how to do anything else in the game besides throw, pickup, and walk....

[Kishmond]

Add 'Attack' and 'Sneak' and that's pretty much all you can do so far.

[Hippoman]

isnt sneak like shift+S?

[Cody1750]

Yep, and don't forget how to swim.

[Hippoman]

Yep, and don't forget how to swim.

Yah...Never found that out.

[zchris13]

alt-move over a pond. Move down into the water, not open space.

[Hippoman]

So alt button?
