I keep trying to sneak into a cave, but 20+ kobolds are hunkered down in there like it's World War One or something. Seriously, I just can't get in. =_=

Are they hostile? If not, lay down and crawl. You will get through.

[Hydrall]

They are very hostile. Mobbed me all at once.

[Haspen]

They are very hostile. Mobbed me all at once.

Show up, throw few stones, run away, sneak around and to the caves, , profit?

[Rowanas]

They are very hostile. Mobbed me all at once.

Protip: KILL THEM ALL, YOU PANSY ELF!

They're kobolds. They feel pain, they have nerves and arteries. They're small and weak. They can vomit. It really doesn't matter what weapon you're using, even if you aren't using one. Hell, bash them into unconsciousness with a buckler! You can't go wrong, killing kobolds.

Currently still adventuring with Cody Steelsavior The Fortification of Sundering.  Me and my band of 5 companions with all types of weapons are currently riding the world of all evil.

After a lost fight with a giant desert scorpion resulting in the lose of his other group of companions and the use of his right foot.  I have amassed a great quantity of skills and am now a legendary crutch walker level 9 and a grandmaster swordsman.

He is equiped in my modded platemail with full coverage and of great quality.  I am using a pick for a throwing weapon and a sword and shield combo.

[Flaede]

Fought a balor. Survived. Cut off its horns, tail, whip (which immediately turned into a lump of iron) and its sword.
...then I discovered that chucking its sword at things melts the crap out of them "in a burst of of balor flames"

Sure it weighs more than the rest of my posessions combined, but who cares?

Inod the legendary heroin has been struck down by boogy men, an ambush my seven winged trolls deep in the wilderness killed all five of her companions, the cave dragon she was hunting found her but she turned the tables on it and put it out of her misery.
 and a few steps from a previously cleared bandit camp an ambush by boogey men. She took one step towards a slope and found herself looking at a boogeyman from one step away. still not spotted she tried to go back up the slope, however she must have stepped on a twig, for she was spotted and bumrushed and was on the ground, in pain with a boogey man standing on top of her, with 6 more running up
Death was swift.

[warwizard]

Inod had 39 notable kills, which included 2 dragons, 1 Troll 1 minotar, 2 winged trolls, 4 winged troll spouses, 1 winged troll child. Her companions killed a third dragon that she had shot in the upper spine. If I can figure out how to get a picture to pose I'd post proof.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

My serpent-man is fully outfitted in finely-decorated blacksteel/chitin/steel armor, legendary fighting/shielduser, talented in 4 weapon styles, and has 60 kills to his name. Of 6, Two of his followers have dragonscale armor pieces, which he will oh so gladly inherit, and is on his way to a minotaur on the other side of a mountain range, without a clear way across, about 20 tiles as the crow flies on the Q map.......euch, this might slow things down.

Well. Urfra, after killing just about every hostile creature in the continent, has turned her sights to finally meeting her hero, Warghui Kutsmobzon... The only problem? His village, Witchrhyme, is on the OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD...
Urfra is determined. She's never backed down from any obstacle before, and this is her new goal...

Any tips for overseas travel, i.e swimming, guys? :S

EDIT:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Urfra tracked down the single map in WheeledDread, her home town, and offered the old, wizened goblin woman, Em Bosdaaslot, a large sum of coins for it. Em shook her head, and said, "No, young one, no coins is buy dis map... You going someplace, you takes me, also! Is a map of the world, very good yes, been in the village for..." The old goblin went on prattling about ancient family history for a while, until Urfra clouted her gently in the side of the head to get her attention.
"Awrights den, old one. You comes, also. Now give map!" Em dutifully handed her the map, barely able to contain her excitement at the prospect of adventure.
Surprisingly, the map WAS actually quite accurate, Armok only knows how it came to be in a tiny goblin village...
Anyway, Urfra squinted at it. She found the places she was looking for, frowned, and turned the map up the other way.
That didn't help. She pricked her finger with her iron scimitar and made markings on the map, showing where she was, and where she wanted to go, Witchrhyme, the legendary home of Warghui Menacecolours the Domain of Pulleys, the goblin who had inspired her on her life of adventure... She grimaced, as did her old friend Smunstu Stasostodan who was watching over her shoulder.
He groaned, "Wha' da 'ell does you wan's ter goes dat place for?!?" She growled, and thumped him in the chest. "'Cause that's where Warghui is! You knows, da big famous adventurer! We's going to go meets 'em! An' no complains!"
He shut up, seeing that Urfra was in a stubborn mood... He'd lost an arm to adventure, just as their hero, Warghui had. However, he wasn't nearly as enthusiastic about this idea as Urfra... He looked again at the map, and the huge gap between their homeland and Warghui's. He'd travelled far enough in his adventures, but still... That was a whole lot of water.
He felt a strange, cold feeling in the pit of his stomache, that he hated to identify as fear...


Meanwhile Urfra, blissfully unaware of Smuntsu's worry, pushed aside her own doubts and was instructing their other companions in what equipment to bring, and where they were going. She didn't show them the map, nor tell them exactly how far they were going... She feared they would lose their enthusiasm if she did. She was worried, but mostly she was excited... She would finally meet Warghui Kutsmobzon! The legends said he was quite handsome... She dreamt of her adventures to come that night, until the sun rose, and she got to her feet, kicking Smuntsu awake where he sat near her and shouldering her backpack.
She nodded firmly once Smuntsu had woken their little group, and then turned away from the village, heading eastwards.

[OmnipotentGrue]

There's not much to it, really - just swim. You can use q to check where you are. Or maybe Q. Bah, I can't remember, either of those.

[Yoink]

Heh, well I hope there aren't sharks etcetera... Eek!
I edited my post, with some story-stuff as well as a map...

Urfra lead her little band towards the ocean, glancing occasionally at the map in her grubby hand and frowning.
It was a lot of water... They paused along the way at a shrine she'd heard of back in WheeledDread, and she nonchalantly rammed her scimitar through a giant spider-titan's head before continuing onwards, followed by her band of admiring peasant-warriors, chattering eagerly about the adventures to come. Only Smuntsu had doubts... He'd seen the map, and he couldn't swim... What was Urfra planning? He became a nervous wreck on the journey, and started grinding his fangs together when he wasn't walking.
None of the others noticed his distress, though, and in time they came to the shore, only open ocean ahead of them.
An amazing sight greeted them: A vast, seemingly endless plane of ice. The ocean was frozen!
Urfra had a hard time of it, getting them to walk out onto the blue sheet, as they were all terrified of water, but with a combination of reassurance and insults, she eventually managed to coax them out onto the ice. They moved painfully slowly at first, each one coming to a complete halt everytime they heard a small crack beneath their feet, but gradually they picked up the pace, gaining confidence. Urfra smiled-- She was on her way to meet her hero! She decided to lead the others in singing, a common pasttime in their village. They worked their way through several songs, even the most nervous joining in for The Bouncing Dwarf, a popular favourite from back home.
"Da ugly stupid dwarfses, diggin' through da hill,
Drinking dey booze, eatin' all dey fill,
Suddenly dey hear a crack, Da mountain break beneath 'em,
Da ugly stupid dwarfses, come bouncin' down, lie still!
All dey stuff jus' lyin' dere, lyin' just for us!"

They began a second verse, simply a repetition of the first, and had just reached the word 'crack', which they bellowed out at the top of their lungs, when they recieved an answer--

C-C-C-CRACKKK!!

They froze. Urfra whirled, wide-eyed, to watch the others-- They were all frozen in fear, with the same terrified expressions, for what felt like hours, but would have been only seconds--- Then, the world tilted sideways, the ocean surrounded them with a roar, and they were plunged down into the freezing depths, bubbles escaping from their mouths in a silent scream.


...Urfra kicked frantically, grasping for the faint, distant light... She reached the surface and gasped for air, paddling steadily on the surface, then turned in the water, looking for her companions with her scimitar held between her teeth. She felt a chill of fear as she saw the bubbles bursting on the surface, and realised: None of them could swim!
Frantically, she dived down under the surface, and saw a figure drifting downwards below her-- It was Smuntsu! She grabbed at him, and with every ounce of her considerable strength, dragged him to the surface and began swimming.
With some difficulty, she held him in front of her and stared at him, shaking him, then realised- She'd been too late, he was dead.
With a big, yelping goblin-y sob, she continued on with some difficulty, the body held over one shoulder as she swam, weeping bitterly with her tears, snot and other by-products of goblin crying drifting away through the water, along with the rest of her companions.

We-ell... That didn't go so well. 
I thought, "Wow! This isn't so bad! The water's frozen!---"
Then suddenly the game froze... I knew that couldn't be good... I browsed through the forums while I waited for it to finish whatever it was loading, and eventually, a good ten minutes or so later, the ice melted suddenly and everyone was thrown into the water! Urfra could swim, thankfully, but the others all drowned a z-level down.

[Knigel]

^I though you know about how water freezes and unfreezes instantly, and that units never have points in Swimmer naturally.

Wait, out of interest whats with the random colours on the map, different civilisations?

I may encouter this problem too with my character Ana (really shouldn't have started on an tiny island just cause it looked cool ). May have to learn how to savescum and just keep trying till I eventually get across without being frozen. Got another way out which would be to start an identical character on the mainland and come up with some sort of story explanation but that just feels like cheating.
