AND .... TIME
FINISHED THIS QUEST FOR GOOD
got my bat, took 7 trys, but I did it, also Flagon Moren (the lovable hire) should never have to run sorrowdusk again, he was with me for 5 of the 7 runs
I ran Cult of the Six twice -- on my bard and on my sorc. Mummified Bat was offered both times. First time I took it, second time I took Shrunken Head.
Funny thing is, I have Feather Falling Boots which are BtA and ML 1, and no idea where they came from.

I'm not going to lie......I was hoping you didn't get it so we could see you rip your hair out.
Not a common reward, but also not that rare from chain quests like Waterworks, Shan-to-Kor, Phiarlan Carnival, and from the BtA lists of the Sharn Syndicate quests. You'll get a BtA lootgen item of the same type with lower minimum levels if a named item in that position isn't generated for you.
To the OP, the Bat is actually about a 30-50% drop rate item. Randomness means that the Lady (Luck) can screw you if she knows you're actively looking for a particular item. Glad you finally got it, although 7 runs through Co6 would be extremely painful.
No ML FF boots are insanely easy to get these days, just run Slab the Crusher or Bookbinder quest and you will end up with a pair sooner than later, along with a bunch of nice twink gear and clickies. Those end rewards are pretty nice for random static loot drops from the Sharn series.

I ran with a guildie a while back and he was very happy to get the shrunken head, for the simple reason that it gave him a laugh to think of his toon running around with a shrunken head as part of his gear. I agreed. Quirky gear is nice to get. A mummified bat pinned to your armour is much more interesting than a boring ring of feathers ^^
Gratz on your end reward, Delssar =)
