I haven't seen a thief with blackjack in Outlander in a really long time, if ever. But again, if you are fighting a warrior who can KO you through skills AND a shaman to summon you to the inner after you get KOed, you are still going to have a lot of problems with that pair alone than the summon to the inner for insects because a warrior + a shaman is one of the scariest pairs to try and fight against as a lone person.
