Borakov Menderson Memorial Waterfall

General Summary

As Borakov warned Benjamin of the powerful figures associated with the Football, Yakman disregarded his warnings and instead pulled out a safety transport box used by Syroxian nobles and rich merchants. After a bit more argument, the party set off in search of Major Gitterak.
After a while of trekking through the Wastes, they came across a canyon with a river running through it. Yakman, with Borakov riding on his back, began scaling the steep cliff walls, while Benjamin cast Feather Fall on himself and began slowly descending, up to the point he realised he didn't have enough forward momentum to cross the chasm and the river below him was much faster than he originally believed.The yak courageously attempted to leap across the canyon while Borakov and Ben performed a Cirque du Soleil act in midair. The plan failed, so the yak ended up at the bottom of the gorge with Ben still slowly falling down.
Because yaks can walk on water, Yak waited until Ben was just above the surface of the river, then sprinted across to try to catch him. He failed to take into account the fact that rivers move, and rather quickly at that, so he was whisked away with Ben barely clinging onto his tail. The scene suddenly turned into Speed 2, the one where Keanu Reeves is on a yacht. As long as they kept moving, they wouldn't sink.
The yak turned around, and saw two wyverns pursuing them. He turned back around and saw a waterfall up ahead. Failing to turn around in time, he had two options: jump or fall. He chose neither.
Not trusting the judgement of a fucking yak, Ben attempted to jump. He freed himself from the clothing that restricted him (Yak was holding him by the lapels of his coat now, for some reason), climbed up to grab Borakov, and leapt from the back of Yak. The yak meanwhile attempted to run up the waterfall as he was falling down it.
This valiant attempt failed because no matter how much you believe in yourself, you can't fucking run up vapour [citation needed]. He plummeted down beneath the surface of the water, taking no damage because monks. He freed himself from the pounding water and shook his hair in slow motion like a L'Oreal advert. He then started climbing up the cliff face. Benjamin attempted to lasso a crag in the rock to climb, but failed limply. Borakov climbed on top of a rock to catch his breath. That's when the wyverns came.
One of them swooped for Yak. He jumped off the cliff and struck it at the base of its neck, temporarily knocking it unconscious, and sending it crashing into the side of the cliff before tumbling into the water. The other dived towards Ben, who dived underwater, popping up behind it, disorientating it. He attempted to grapple it, but his puny noble arms failed him. Yak swam over and began attacking it while Borakov took potshots with his shortbow from atop the rock. The wyvern managed to free itself from the water, grasping Yak in its talons, and Ben finally managed to loop a lasso around its neck. The other wyvern woke up, snuck up behind Borakov, and ate him in one gulp. Meanwhile, Yak and Benjamin took off to wherever the wyvern is taking them.
