Will and Halt continued into the forest, now a little more wary. The sounds of a monster's roaring were growing louder. Luckily, they didn't find any more strange beasts on the way on. However, they did encounter a rushing river around noon. Halt thought aloud, "They probably toss the logs into this river to carry them down the forest for them." Will nodded, and then said, "How are we going to get across?" Hmm…" Halt muttered, "I'm not sure we can part it, as it's too strong, but we can try to weaken the flow a little so we swim across." They both pulled out their Warden Symbols and pointed it towards the river. The river's water slowed. "Come on," Halt said as they both put their Warden Symbols back in their cloaks, "Time to swim." They both swam to the other bank of the river, though it was much easier than it would have been if they hadn't weakened the flow of the water. They subsequently got out, magically dried themselves, warmed themselves by a summoned fire, and continued their forest trek to the roars and stomps that were growing louder.
