Okay so I've got Street Magic and am planning on sending my players up against a Roach Hive in the NYC Sewers. However, the rules concurning Insect Spirits confuse me, so I've got some questions.

Three kinds:
Flesh form - The Hybrid Form, part man, part roach. Has stats equal to base characters stats plus force? Does not have immunity to natural weapons or the other spirit powers besides natural weapon I would assume and the roaches natural +2 to damage resist. Dual natured.

True Form - Giant Roach form. Has stats as listed in the book for a spirit of its type and force. All powers listed in book, including immunity to natural weapons. Dual Natured, but cannot astrally project or um un-manifest?

Good Merge - Person with insect spirit manifested inside. Not sure what stats should be, or what powers it has. Not necessarily dual natured and can astrally project?

Basicaly, do I have this stuff right? It also seems to me that none of them are vulnerable to evanescence since they are bound in human forms, and only the true form can be banished. Is this right or am I crazy?

Lastly, and advice in running these? My players are going in their cold but probably pretty well armed. I wanted to challenge them pretty severely, but not scare them so bad they head for the hills. My current plan was to throw several hybrid forms at them first, then one or two true forms as they get deeper in, then finally the shaman plus one or two true forms as back-up. No queen this time around.

A good merge mantid spirit may also show up, but primarily only as an NPC.
