Be it fortune or planning, those attacking him were using blunted weapons to prevent suit breach as he took a club to the ribs and upside the peripheral of his helmet. He wasn't sure how many he was hitting, but he tried to keep cool as he released three second sweeps of radiating cold strong enough to pin people in place or bring single limbs to shocking frigidity that might shatter upon striking him next time.
