Well, well ,well, you're ready to talk now aren't you!
After many an hour of learning to swim like a dwarf I discover that it's pretty much a requirement to have the lungs of a whale. Dwarfmaster trains my lungs to their utmost potential, and I can now hold my breath for 17 hours. Dwarfmaster says that they'd go for 24 hours, but it would require the liver of a dwarf, which I wasn't willing to take.
Dwarf swimming is a rather complicated technique, as it requires heavy armor that causes you to sink, and mountain climbing skills. You also have to grow used to the change in pressure, having to see in the water, and general movement. I get the feeling that my reflexes and strength are going to skyrocket at this rate.

The guy in Percival's updates is a Golem if you haven't caught on yet. I'll give you guys the chance at a single dark magic Golem before the end of the childhood stage, but you'll need to collect Golem materials which will be made rare, and you'll need to get dark magic to level 15.
What do you want Ephraim to learn next? You can also have him go into town to do things if you want.
(10)Magic Orbs - empty
(80)Golem clay/stone/metal - wood can't contain dark magic
(2)Golem Hearts
(1)Golem Brain
(5)Magic Circulators
(5)Magic Dampeners
(1)Caste
(25)Stabilizers
I'll be giving you a free caste soon regardless(not the guy's caste) so I'll give you some options once we reach that part. The stabilizers and magic dampeners are to keep the golem from blowing up. Ephraim can make golems out of pretty much anything, but they won't be as strong as a Dark Golem.
Anyway, start thinking of methods to get these things, and if it sounds reasonable I'll allow it. You won't be able to start doing this until day when we exit Vampiric Mode.
