CLUSTERF*CK
clus·ter·f*ck
\ ˈklə-stər-ˌfək \
vulgar slang. Noun.
1) a disastrously and utterly mishandled situation or undertaking.
2) Popper’s scouting mission to Castellane.

It was supposed to be a simple scouting mission. In and out. No fighting. No new quests. Just me, my hippocorn Alice, and a few hired mercenaries. We were going to tiptoe into the Spiral, get the info we needed, and leave. You know, the Spiral? That tower defense run that protects the hobgoblin capital from invaders?
Easy, right? Nobody would even know we were there.
Yeah, so about that…
