I am the reason the group hates to tangle with Beetle spirits ... they remind
me of Umber Hulks from AD&D and I loved using them against my players when I
was a DM. The first fight I ever used Invae, especially Beetle spirits, was
and still is one of the most intense combat sequences in the game to date,
except for the comedic value of what happened in the weekday game here over
the last two weeks.
