Up and Up Again

It is said that certain sects of martial artists will sit under a waterfall, as an exercise in hardening the body. It is said that wisdom and enlightenment can be found at the base of every waterfall.

To be clear, I am not such a martial artist. I found that even Amphibian Lungs won't keep you from coughing at the sheer force of water as it literally slams its way down your throat. It was an entire day's labor, literally climbing upstream. Some times Gondon would angle to the left, sometimes to the right, and there were even times when he seemed to take us directly upward into the falling water.

Incidentally, a plate curiass isn't kind to gills along the rib cage.
