S1E48: HOT SOUP May 13, 2021

Show notes

The Bastards find themselves caught in a war, but they still have their wits, their guns, and BEAR CLAW!

This isn't a situation where phoning a friend might save the day, but Herry won't let that stop him. It's also not a day for weak stomachs. So clearly, it must be time for some soup.

Can our Bastards survive? or better question yet, will everyone else survive?

S1E46: Fresh Prison Toilet Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

Meanwhile in a flagship prison cell...

The Bastards put all three of their brain cells (ok Dr. Ze put all three of his brain cells) together for the second most daring prison break attempt they've ever attempted!

S1E45: Sweet Timothy Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

Deep in the belly of the Terran Flagship brig, our Bastards find themselves stripped of weapons and hope.

..Or at least that is what their captors are led to believe. Still in possession of the universal explosive remote- our trio starts planning their break out, and raising hell. Turns out, you can't easily disarm hope.

S1E44:The Stone in the Sock Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

The skirmish rages on as Larkey's forces draw nearer to the castle - and the real fight flickers on the horizon.

The Bastards have made their repairs, packed their bags, and the plan weaves between them as favors are called in and a small, sneaking surprise unfolds - like a tiny stone in one's shoe - as a peaceful surrender is placed right into Larkey's eager hands... Wonder what the catch is? Watch out for those little stones, adventurer.

S1E43: The Bandit King Mar 25, 2021

Show notes

Every Bastard has made it to the Zarg Castle.

They've had a few moments to reflect on their fragile mortality, and now they must prepare for the inevitable. Will it be a siege? Another betrayal? An all-out war? The way things have been going, it is hard to say for sure. But for now, this night, they are all together. Preparing their defenses, painting their projectiles, and calling in some favors from a few old friends...

S1E42: Sack 2 Sack Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

The Bastards gather in the name of their fallen comrade, precariously balanced on the edge of survival, and the edge of their friendship with Clan Zarg.

They've fought many battles together now- destroyed many fine places, crushed many frothy brews, but the revelation of Herodotus' deal fell hard.

The stark truth of the Imperial Armada and a possible Kraw Alliance after all that has befallen. With the bright memory of the poison on their lips - It is Dr. Ze who must now unite them all, on a dangerous trek to the castle, to the Honey Boy, and to Herry himself - holding the gunnery there.

S1E41: BUGGA. helpeven.org Mar 11, 2021

Show notes

Time is ticking, as the poison blooms.

Dr. Ze has abandoned his Honey Boy shell, and is racing across the castle on the neck of the chemist. Herry is holding off the entire brute force of the castle army- and Clan Zarg is in disarray as the call for Trevor goes out.

It's a mad race to salvage life and limb, and as long as Herodotus can hold 'em off, there's hope for Dr. Ze to get the antidote in time.

Or is there? It appears the poison and the ambush weren't the only bones the universe had to cast.

S1E40: The Pink Panther one Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

We left Herodotus and Dr. Ze lying in wait in the shopkeeper's inventory room.

Ready to Trojan Horse their way into the castle under the disguise of the Kraw shopkeep himself, in an act of stealth.

Cleo and Clan Zarg make merry in the town, flashing their selfie sticks, spilling Red Moon Worms, and raising their deep, deep cups.

Hold vigil with us, listeners. For the Bastard in the box, The one on the Kraw, and the many bleeding out on the floor.
