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. - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard Kimber-Bell Cleo deCap -- Taylor van Biljon Dr Ze/Doctor Zafrey Elektra - Daniel Matthews Herodotus Arthurion Mendleroth III - Even Mehl Amundsen Episode art by Taylor van Biljon Ambiance sound support by Jamie Nord and Michaël Ghelfi Synth Music Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio Episode Edit / Sound design by Daniel Matthews - Send inquiries and fanart to backwaterbastards@gmail.com Support the show and gain access to extra content by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Backwaterbastards If you love what you hear, share us with a friend!

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. - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard Kimber-Bell Cleo deCap -- Taylor van Biljon Dr Ze/Doctor Zafrey Elektra - Daniel Matthews Herodotus Arthurion Mendleroth III - Even Mehl Amundsen Episode art by Max Behrens Ambiance sound support by Jamie Nord and Michaël Ghelfi Synth Music Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio Episode Edit / Sound design by Daniel Matthews - Send inquiries and fanart to backwaterbastards@gmail.com Support the show and gain access to extra content by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Backwaterbastards If you love what you hear, share us with a friend!

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... - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard Kimber-Bell Cleo deCap -- Taylor van Biljon Dr Ze/Doctor Zafrey Elektra - Daniel Matthews Herodotus Arthurion Mendleroth III - Even Mehl Amundsen Episode art by Daniel Matthews Ambiance sound support by Jamie Nord and Michaël Ghelfi Synth Music Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio Episode Edit / Sound design by Daniel Matthews - Send inquiries and fanart to backwaterbastards@gmail.com Support the show and gain access to extra content by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Backwaterbastards If you love what you hear, share us with a friend!

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. - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard Kimber-Bell Cleo deCap -- Taylor van Biljon Dr Ze/Doctor Zafrey Elektra - Daniel Matthews Herodotus Arthurion Mendleroth III - Even Mehl Amundsen Episode art by Richard Kimber-Bell Ambiance sound support by Jamie Nord and Michaël Ghelfi Synth Music Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio Episode Edit / Sound design by Daniel Matthews - Send inquiries and fanart to backwaterbastards@gmail.com Support the show and gain access to extra content by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Backwaterbastards If you love what you hear, share us with a friend!

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. - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard Kimber-Bell Cleo deCap -- Taylor van Biljon Dr Ze/Doctor Zafrey Elektra - Daniel Matthews Herodotus Arthurion Mendleroth III - Even Mehl Amundsen Episode art by Richard Kimber-Bell Ambiance sound support by Jamie Nord and Michaël Ghelfi Synth Music Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio Episode Edit / Sound design by Daniel Matthews - Send inquiries and fanart to backwaterbastards@gmail.com Support the show and gain access to extra content by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Backwaterbastards If you love what you hear, share us with a friend!

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. - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard Kimber-Bell Cleo deCap -- Taylor van Biljon Dr Ze/Doctor Zafrey Elektra - Daniel Matthews Herodotus Arthurion Mendleroth III - Even Mehl Amundsen Episode art by Richard Kimber-Bell Ambiance sound support by Jamie Nord and Michaël Ghelfi Synth Music Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio Episode Edit / Sound design by Daniel Matthews - Send inquiries and fanart to backwaterbastards@gmail.com Support the show and gain access to extra content by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Backwaterbastards If you love what you hear, share us with a friend!

Picture if you will, a troupe of hardy adventurers geared in the sharpest armor, carrying secure packs of the most finely crafted weaponry- with minds tuned to one goal, one dream- one fight... They file out of their warship, ready to complete their mission. Prepared to finish this arcane task, having made peace with their gods and their clans. Serene in their readiness for the battle. Marching silently ever onward to the- ...to the fried dough stand? The time is NOW spaceheads! The Bastards and Clan Zarg have descended on Zarg Moon disguised as a dinky tour group, snapping up souvenirs and following a tiny little flag on a stick while they wave all their selfie sticks because THERE’S A CASTLE TO TAKE AND BY GOD, WE ARE DOING IT FOR THE ‘GRAM! - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard Kimber-Bell Cleo deCap -- Taylor van Biljon Dr Ze/Doctor Zafrey Elektra - Daniel Matthews Herodotus Arthurion Mendleroth III - Even Mehl Amundsen Episode art by Richard Kimber-Bell Ambiance sound support by Jamie Nord and Michaël Ghelfi Synth Music Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio Episode Edit / Sound design by Daniel Matthews - Send inquiries and fanart to backwaterbastards@gmail.com Support the show and gain access to extra content by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Backwaterbastards If you love what you hear, share us with a friend!

Finally back in their own minds after a near spacewalk; our scrappy Bastards warp onward to Zarg Moon and their waiting allies. Here to see the land they mean to free, and meet the rest of the people that mean to free it- the crew drafts a plan, a PowerPoint, a couple hundred bombs - ... And an order of printed nametags? Quick! Somebody call a project manager- these idiots are organizing a WAR. - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard Kimber-Bell Cleo deCap -- Taylor van Biljon Dr Ze/Doctor Zafrey Elektra - Daniel Matthews Herodotus Arthurion Mendleroth III - Even Mehl Amundsen Episode art by Willem van Biljon Ambiance sound support by Jamie Nord and Michaël Ghelfi Synth Music Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio Episode Edit / Sound design by Daniel Matthews - Send inquiries and fanart to backwaterbastards@gmail.com Support the show and gain access to extra content by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Backwaterbastards If you love what you hear, share us with a friend!

The Bastards are making their way... towards Firsnear, but it's a long ways to go. So the team kick back and enjoy a few road beers- until Dr. Ze starts getting a call, straight into his mind? Things aren't looking good for our Bastards. Unless Cleo can figure out how to save everyone, from themselves... - Starring: DM Dick Dynamite the Dungeon Master Richard Kimber-Bell Cleo deCap -- Taylor van Biljon Dr Ze/Doctor Zafrey Elektra - Daniel Matthews Herodotus Arthurion Mendleroth III - Even Mehl Amundsen Episode art by Daniel Matthews Ambiance sound support by Jamie Nord and Michaël Ghelfi Synth Music Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio Episode Edit / Sound design by Daniel Matthews - Send inquiries and fanart to backwaterbastards@gmail.com Support the show and gain access to extra content by joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Backwaterbastards If you love what you hear, share us with a friend!
