Roll out, I say, but I still haven't thought about any way I could defeat that gigantic body made of lava. My most powerful ability is to swallow things whole and dissolve them, but all I can think of when seeing this thing is a person trying to drink a cup of lava and getting their insides melted away by it.

We're sitting in Rangi's home, shortly after the slave troops surrendered and laid down their arms.
