[With the Manaus Statue being stolen it doesn't take long for Hadou Kouzou to show up on the Chalice again when the ship crosses paths with one of his own ships

What kind of world holds such ridiculous beings? The name is difficult enough to pronounce on its own... Zasway?

[ceocowboy]

Za-wai-a it's quite easy actually. If it helps I can ensure that Zs-a-wia is the worst thing that could come from my world.

[fermionprincess]

"My" world? What kind of otherworldly entity might you be, kind sir?

[ceocowboy]

Just one of the many dimensional travelers your world seems to get.

I'll admit however that this isn't the first time that something like this has happened to me.

[punches_vamps]

Ah, you again!

Nice to see you man. Let's see...what sort of weaknesses does this Zs-a-wia have? Obviously we're gonna shoot for interrupting the ritual, but, you know...

[ceocowboy]

Roads glad to see you're still in one piece.

As for weaknesses, Zs-a-wia doesn't have any. If it actually is summoned the best thing we could do is retrieve the Manaus Statue from it.

[punches_vamps]

Well, that's...cheery. Any way we could find the statue within it? I'd rather not have to go searching around in a death-god's guts...

[ceocowboy]

I'm afraid that you'll have to take the plunge. Killing a god takes quite a bit of work.

[saikyocivrobo]

Will we have to perform any rituals with weird dancing and chanting to stop the summoning? Or will just brute force do?

[ceocowboy]

Brute force is the best course of action. All we need to do is retake the statue. I'll be sure to take care of it myself once we retrieve it.

[saikyocivrobo]

That makes it easier. Any ideas what will Rovdy have anything in store, from things we haven't seen before?

[ceocowboy]

Rovdy isn't exactly creative he'll probably be using the same Beastmen, some a bit larger to deal with your mechs.

[luvs_scimitars]

Hadou.

[Cheerful greeting time.]

...Do you have a plan?

[Besides just beating the shit out of them of course.]

[ceocowboy]

Azrad, Necronomicon

[Cheerful greeting returned.]

Sort of I'm going to have to wing it a bit though.

[luvs_scimitars]

[Azrad furrows his brow.]

You know that I won't be able to depend on Aeon for much longer.

The ideal result is to stop the ritual from being completed, but if the worst comes to pass...

[ceocowboy]

Of course I do, I'm the one who warned you about it in the first place.

We'll focus on stopping the ritual. Should Zs-a-wia be summoned you should should leave it to your comrades. As powerful as Aeon is in your state you'll barely last a minute.
