With the crashing waters lapping at his ankles, Gore vaulted free of the riverbed at the last moment.  His leap brought him towards her, no longer a charge as much as an attempt to slam his much larger frame into her.  He had no way to avoid her shield, and simply curled to strike it with his shoulder as he came to the end of his jump.  He made no effort to get his legs under him, but rather concentrated on trying to bring her down and pin her beneath his sheer mass and weight as he landed.
