Arbrine and the Lacquered Beetles

By actively manipulating Way, this generates an electric discharge which can cause physical damage (loss of Body) to a touched target. If Body is reduced below 1, the target is incapacitated and further damage is deducted from Mind. If Mind is reduced below 1 and the target is a nominal creature, it dies. If Mind is reduced below 1 and the target is a sentient being, it loses consciousness and further damage is deducted from Essence. If Essence is reduced below zero, the target dies.

GM:

After three assaults, Arbrine either has a better feel for the behavior of the aggressive beetle or it is slowing in its attack. She is able to avoid its attack while making contact of her own with her harnin knuckles. The blow is ineffective, but she is able to cause a minor shock in the process.

Nalvis and the Beetles

Kwargrow said:
Shaking his head to clear it of the noxious fumes, Nalvis swings hard with his axe at the beetle.

OOC: Roll: 34

Vik, like Nalvis, tries to clear his head of the noxious fumes while he chokes up on his harpoon to swing it like a pendulum at his attacking beetle.

Having previously succeeding with the manipulation of mechanical Way, Quill will continue to use the same tactic when engaging a second beetle.

GM:

Perhaps the fumes were causing a greater effect upon Nalvis than he anticipated. The beetle bites at him again before he can initiate is next attack, but his boots, again, protect him from the bite. Nalvis is unable to formulate a successful attack. With a considerable stroke of luck, Rekyavik is able to dodge his beetle as he swing down with his harpoon, cracking open the hard carapace and killing the insect.

Despite her previous success, Quill is unable to hurt the second beetle she engages, though it is, also, unable to hurt her.

GM:

The faster Beetle makes a fruitless attempt to attack Arbrine while the hurt beetle begins to flee. Arbrine is unable to make contact with the beetle on her own, but when it makes contact, she is still able to attempt to shock it. Unfortunately, the beetle is unaffected by the shock.

GM:

The remaining functional beetles attack several times in between the reactions of the River Crew, but the small vermin are only able to nip at the people's boots. Nalvis and Vik are unable to harm either of the beetles that attacked them, but Quill manages to kick one. The kick is ineffective but then the insects begins to burn on the inside as its bodily fluids ionize. Renyaveer, at point blank range, bores an arrow through another. There are three remaining functional beetles. The one that had attacked Arbrine has fled far enough to escape. The other two begin to flee.
