That would kind of beat the purpose of bringing it along. :P

Too involved, an axe and a roll of brown paper would do the trick. Wink

Barges are pretty slow and clumsy, aren't they?

It's 200 km. Quite a long way to swim, even for a strong monster.

If it is fantasy world, can't magic somehow solve all the solutions?

It could, but I don't want to make magic overpowered. A spell to make a six-ton monster fly or teleport it would be an extremely powerful weapon.

Remember, just because you have magic in your world doesn't mean you can do anything. The story still has to be consistent. This is not a silly cartoon I am writing, where magic is just a plot device with no governing logic. It all has to fit together. If I give my characters a powerful spell to use in one chapter, that spell will still exist in every subsequent chapter, which might give my characters power I don't want them to have.

Be creative. Here is a tank landing ship of wwii fame, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_landing_ship
Make something like that for your time, almost all culture had ships that could pretty much hit the beach, here is your chance to make yours.
