Ok, I remember this now.  Wasn't this brought up a
long time ago?  And several
suggestions/comments/critiques were made on how the
scenarion could have been done better?

If I recall one of the pc's had faith and used the
Protection miracle almostly like D&D's turning undead
ability to scare Michael out of the church.  You gave
Michael a 3d20 spirit, how'd protection even affect
him?

Considering all the nice abilities you gave him, I
would have a) Ignored Wind, b) Ignored Stun, c) USED
CHIPS (for wounds and for SKILL checks), d) Used
harrowed natural toughness again wounds or ignored
wound penalties, e) Given him a focus of the type that
Servitors have, f) Not put him where the posse could
get him, g) Use his other abilities to throw things at
the posse, or h) Had him saved by one of his 'pets'.

Honestly, I have no clue how your posse defeated him
if he was played right.
