Well the good news is it's the same everywhere. The bad news is it's 7/2 and the split is against cutting (UT174 but halved given it's layered over all the time). So let's see how bad it is:

Damage Roll for self
3d6 -2
3 + 3 + 6 - 2 = 10

So 8 damage after DR means:
-> A -4 shock penalty (even accounting for high HP)
-> A dismembered limb, as 8 is greater than 21/6*2=7
-> A major wound, given that the limb is crippled
-> I only lose four point of HP, as the minimum necessary damage to cripple is 4 (21/6=3.5)

So I guess I freed that arm then! Now, question is, was that arm holding him down (and not anymore) or was it doing rope tying? How many DP to make it a rope tying arm? Does it actually matter given that an unfrozen arm is just as good at pinning them down?

The other, who has two hands frozen to him, one of which is injured, sends a surge of ice up the frozen hands, trying to lock Halcyone's entire body up. No dodge for this, because of the frozen hands. Halcyone is now in a ST 10 engulfing binding giving -4 to all DX until its gone. She has three frozen hands in addition to the main binding.

Lets play it from here.

So I got:
2 arms frozen to them
2 arms holding knives
1 arm holding rope
1 arm chopped off
So:
-> On turn 20 I break free (21 vs. 10) [I was going to roll the binding's ST but it's not going to win]

My ST roll
-3d6 +21
- 3 - 1 - 1 + 21 = 16

-> On turn 21-30, I'll drop a knife and try to continue with tying them up, while I continue to chip away with the other arm.
