It was great! Until I failed a Charge. While I was Hesitating, John Closed on it and Locked it. With the Moving Quickly penalty he needed 7 successes! And he pulled it off! Then they found the Brass Plate and hacked it apart with a hatchet.

It was a great little fight. Making it a Charge and Push only monster was a great call on your part!

I think I managed to throw all three of the participants out of the hut at least once before they defeated it.

It has the Unfeeling trait. It can only be Incapacitated when its Power reaches zero. It's Power is B6. And John Closed, so he had the +1 Ob Moving Quickly penalty.
