Skingame - why was Nicodemus hurtable?

(1/5) > >>

toodeep:
Why was Harry able to hurt Nicodemus in Skingame?  He hit him a few times and for quite some time afterward we see Nicodemus favoring his side, having a hitch in his movement because of the blows from Harry, etc.  All the way into the scene where he locks Harry into the bank behind him he is still injured.

But Nicodemus is still wearing the noose and we've seen him recover from bullet wounds in front of our eyes (and apparently not be bothered by them as they occur, as he can roll his eyes and make a "get on with it" gesture while being shot!) so why did Harry's blows bother him so much?

I can't think of any reason and it seems like a real inconsistency.

Mr. Death:
It's possible that being in Hades interfered with his normal immunity.

wardenferry419:
Whenever there is a problem; blame Mab.

peregrine:
Perhaps bone takes longer for the noose to heal than soft tissue, and a massive bludgeoning is going to do more bone damage than some bullets.  Also possibly magical ice hurts more than non-magical bullets.

Crush trauma can be quite nasty, yeah. I figure the environment in Hades' vault was probably a factor too though.
