I'm not sure I'm following you. The King's Tunnels seems to be a fairly easy water based obstacle.
Really? I must be misinterpreting something. As I interpret the map, from the ladder platform it's impossible to reach the small platform by the stream on the left. If you jump into he right stream as far upstream as possible, at the end of your turn you're swept down to the space just before the black exit space. From that space it looks to me like the walls block your movement to the big platform, and you have to climb back to the ladder platform to start over. If the intent was to be able to reach both sides of the stream from that space, then it would've been fairly trivial to make the map MUCH clearer with only slight alterations. Removing the pebble on the corner, or nudging the line in the river up by 1/4" on that side would make that intention clear; instead I'm left to interpret that it's all supposed to be wall.
Crossing from the large platform to the small platform is a nearly identical circumstance.
This layout made perfect sense to me when you could swim upstream, but seems like a seriously difficult traverse now. In chapter 4 we had 3 non-ranged mice against an Elite Rat warrior on the small platform; I'm pretty sure he would've killed us all under these rules. Or maybe I just need to roll better and it won't be a problem.
