Episode 147 - Battle of Bahamut

Having wrapped up the battle with the leader of the army of Bahamut your brave adventurers, who are filled with much satisfaction of an encounter well struck, moves on to meet with our Elven friends. They seem nice and … wait… what is that sound? Oh crap. Bahamutians seem to be gathering to attack in force. Cuss.

## **Story**

### Long Story

Luccan has just shown his ugly mug once again. There are some wood elves with him, along with his own posse of 5 Wood-Elves. There is a man with wild and crazy hair, and a scar over his left eye, a leather vest, no shoes, and a bob-cat. A tall woman with a giant bow. A fat man with one arm. A guy in robes with a beard and a staff, a flower headband. A woman in a long dress, holding a wand.

Aludra, Thom, and Harper reconnect with Luccan, catching him up on all their past events and introducing him to Steve and Jaela. They show him that they killed Gruemar the Silver, and Luccan explains that he plans to march on Shadowspar Keep, to clear out the demons and devils in there, but Harper convinces him not to. Luccan promises to help them escape Fennekin's Fortress once they've taken Fennekin out. A bird flies down and lands on the shoulder of bob-cat man. He turns to Luccan and says, *"Luccan, a bunch of those nun-fuckers are coming back for a counter attack!"* Suddenly a large spike comes out of the sky and kills the fat elf, apparently named Lucky. They look out and see the army with siege equipment and a scorpion. The fight begins. Also, the tall woman with the bow is named Barb, because her arrows have barbs on them. The witch looking one is Xel. There is a tall moving siege tower that has dudes in it. Everyone does a lot of damage. Thom takes out the scorpion, Harper takes out the siege tower, Jaela kills just, like, half the goddam army, and Aludra loves using her new Moonbeam power.

At the end of the battle, the army lies defeated, with one man running away in fear of Thom the Dragonborn, who whispers in his ear as he flees, soiling his pants, *"I'll find you..."*

### Short

Luccan and his crew show up! There is much re-connection, and then the Army of Bahamut rears back for a counter attack. The gang destroys them savagely.
