Well this leads us again to the choice of Rubble Runner, who will be much more discreet than any heroic champion to accomplish such a foolish mission like bringing down the Crinsom Bat with an explosion in a ear or in a wing in order then to strike it with the axe from the ground.
The problem is just to reach it and as any human being seems too big to reach the bat via the Windchildren... I can't see any other possibilities.

I think that we need now to beef up Rotterex and the "hero" who will strike the Bat on the ground once with Talor's axe (hoping to drive it crazy and incontrolable)...

I guess that depends on whether someone is willing to burn HP to buy eternal fame - and a chance of avoiding eternal oblivion. Resisting a tongue attack of 10W3 (or thereabouts) would seem pretty much at the harder end of possible. You could probably muster up +15-20 from equipment (the axe is a pretty good headstart) and there should be enough Uroxi, Humakti and the like about to muster up most of another +20 in magical augments if Broyan was convinced to get them to help out (the party can probably manage a respectable combined augment anyway). The Crimson Bat priests *could* counter by augmenting the bat but unless you turn up looking like a great Hero they are likely to be too busy worrying about other things - like all those berserk Telmori that need dealing with and of course trying to keep the bat under control so it eats the right army.

I think it looks more impossible that it really is - but the price of failure is definitely steep. Oh and there is no guarantee that the Curse is really as powerful as we think it is. Only Lev knows. I have to admit I mostly like the idea because I think it leads interesting places - like putting the Red Emperor in the position of needing to find how to cure the Curse in order to get his favourite pet back.
