"Go ahead, if ya can," Gutztomp replied.

While normally he wouldn't go so low as to serve as a mount for a human, he had a point to make. The point being that he could cross some stinking river easily even with extra weight. This human didn't seem very heavy though.

Swarm nodded, glad that an arrangement could be made, and they hovered across the river, touching down gently on the other side and waiting for the rest.

After a moment's pause, Kuan resigned herself to the task at hand and walked behind the ork. She was two feet shorter than him, so it was a bit of an effort to reach his shoulders, but she was strong and fit. With a soft grunt, she hauled herself up and climbed him before, finally, coming to sit atop his massive shoulders.

She felt utterly ridiculous, riding him like a child.

"Alright. Let's move on out."

Without hesitation Gutztomp started forward. Water immediately began wrapping around a swirling behind the massive green obstruction as the ork waded through the current. The farther Gutztomp went, the farther he was submerged. The water was up to his chest once he got toward the middle of the river and he was having a harder time crossing as he was now where the current would have its greatest effect on him.

However, despite the current's strength, the ork held firm. The combined weight of his armor, weapons, supplies, Kuan, and his sheer bulk made him quite difficult to move. After a fair bit of grunting and trudging, Gutztomp made it to the other side of the river. He was soaking wet and his boots were covered with mud, but he was successful.

"Dat wasn't so bad," Gutztomp commented.

[yes, I'm still here, though please don't feel obligated to wait for me. Silent Shayal can catch-up as needed....]

Shayal knew the value of silent intelligence gathering, and had learned a lot while quietly following her companions.

The river, however, posed its own challenge. She could not walk across it like Gutztomp or... do whatever it was Swarm was doing.... she had to admit she didn't quite understand what was going on there... and wasn't quite sure she wanted to.

Shayal herself was not without resources, however. Securing her belongings atop her head, and a vine around her waist just in case she had misjudged the current (though she was pretty sure she hadn't) she dove in.

Kuan fared much better than Gutztomp; only her legs got wet, and her ass and back from water that had splashed up. She didn't mind, though. The jungle was humid, and the water felt nice.

Once on dry land, she hopped down from the ork's shoulders and looked back to see that they were all accounted for. She saw Shayal dive in, a vine about her waist, and turned again to Gutztomp.

"I'm sure an extra dip in the river to grab her would be easy for you, wouldn't it?"

"We are not sure why she didn't come across with Kuan and the green one. We are concerned for her health. Our swarm comprises four members. To lose even one is a numerically catastrophic loss."

Their head slowly turned to look up at Gutztomp.

"The green one would be very wise to retrieve her."

"I can do better den that," Gutztomp said.

He then proceeded to wade all the way back to the other side of the river, grab the vine that Shayal had tied herself down with, waded back over to were Kuan and Swarm were, and then pulled Shayal to shore.

He undoubtedly made it a lot more work than it needed to be, but these humans needed to know that he was not to be messed with and that he was easily stronger than all of them combined.

Kuan wasn't...certain how that was better. She was actually positive Gutztomp had made things more complicated and convoluted than they needed to be! But Gutztomp was proving himself a simple creature, rather like a toddler.

A large, large toddler that could crush human skulls with his fists. And apparently kill dragons with ease.

So Kuan said nothing, even while deep inside she felt exasperated, because he not only made it more complicated, but also ate up more time in doing so! Kuan at least wanted to make some good time and distance before they had to settle in for the night.

"Yes," she said when he made it back to shore with the girl. "Very good. Right. Let's continue on, then."

Shayal was quite surprised by this ... assistance.

"Th-thank you." she stammered out as she climbed onto dry land and rearranged her belongings. Nothing damaged and no more than her clothes wet... she'd live.

"I believe we want to go this way..." she said, starting off.

"You know the way though the jungle?" Kuan asked as she strode after Shayal, kicking a rock from her sandal as she went.

"We hope so."

Swarm fell in besides Kuan, his slender yet tall form towering over her.

"We are approaching unknown territory. We will begin to take on new members soon enough. Members who know the topography. Members who might have witnessed our quarry."

"I know... a story." replied Shayal "It tells of a path through the jungle that leads to mysterious and dangerous beauty. It seems a likely destination for our quarry. Also, it's a path through the jungle, and my experience is that it's easier to navigate the specifics of where you wanted to end up on that side than on this."

"Then it seems that between the two of you, we shall have no issues getting where we need to go," Kuan said. A story that told of some mysterious and beautiful place, and...a creature of plurality that could be in many places, and draw information from the insects around it. Kuan may have had her doubts about this mission and her travel partners, but she was starting to realize her assumptions were unfair.

"We'll walk until nightfall then," she said, "and then we'll make camp, eat, and solidify our plans. We should have a solid plan for if--when we encounter the beast."

Gutztomp was dumping the water out of his boots when Kuan mentioned walking until nightfall. He could do that, after he emptied out his boots that is.

"As long as dare are no more rivers," Gutztomp said. "It'll take ages for me ta dry."

Swarm turned their head over to Gutztomp.

"May we recommend the use of a towel? Or perhaps stripping from your armor to better facilitate evaporation?"

Gutztomp looked at Swarm and blinked. He had no idea what he just said. All he got out of it was stripping off his armor, but why would he do that? He'd have to carry it then.

"You use awfully big words, Bugman," Gutztomp told him. "But just cuz you know some fancy words don't mean a fing."

Gutztomp put his boots back on and resumed walking. He didn't like the Bugman. He used too many big words for Gutztomp's liking.

Kuan snorted softly, the only sign that she'd been listening in on their conversation--and the only sign of the spark of amusement it struck.

"There may be more rivers," she said. "But the jungle gets hot enough in the day, you'll be glad for them."

"On the contrary. We posess a higher vocabulary because we're..."

Swarm trailed off. The hive had come to a decision that continuing the conversation was not the best for its safety. They changed the subject.

"Rivers have always remained an enigma to us. So many potential members make their homes there, but none can survive in our communities, save for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes aren't the most cooperative..."

"Whatever," Gutztomp mumbled putting his boot back on and standing back up. "Let's just go find this damn keern fing already."
