OK Aalmon is not present but the Aalmon-the-Bastard Battle Manual of 
Desperate Tactics says you hit the Bat with the Axe. If the Axe is all 
its cracked up to be[1] the Bat is then driven insane by its own 
full-moon glowspot and starts out by eating anything close by - its own 
priesthood. The rest of the "battle" then becomes a footrace in which 
the slowest army gets eaten. If the heortlings can't outrun a bunch of 
over-armored Sun Dome and Lunar infantry I'd be astonished.

Once the bat is out of control it is supposed to go back to the 
Otherworld pretty soon. It would be bad news if that turned out not to 
be the case :(

Does anyone have any even more desperate and dangerous suggestions?

[1] Rules-wise I think the Axe's rating only needs to overcome the chief 
priest's Control Bat ability - its not like the Bat wants to be 
controlled or is averse to going on insane eating frenzies. If Broyan 
was telling the truth the current priest in control is pretty inexperienced.
