More than likely. Looking at the length of the knife in the first panel, if it was not at least partially eaten, it would pierce through her chest to emerge out of her back.
Aye; look at panel two – we only see the hilt and a tiny part of blade, and Rusty’s feelers are disappear behind ‘our host’, aiming RIGHT for that same spot…
Yeah.. extending Rusty’s feelers the direction they are already going puts them right on the weapon, which you heard him draw in panel 1, so it’s not defended by it’s sheath now….. Then it’s off the top of the panel in the third frame.. Poor rusty; didn’t get to finish his meal! There’s still a hilt, a tiny bit of blade, and a crosspiece to munch!
Its a good thing D&D rules are not anything like real life… Doesn’t matter how brittle or rusted that knife becomes. A good solid strike from what little edge is jutting out of that hilt and she is dead. She might weigh 100 pounds if she is lucky (-2 constitution hurts) and a high strength large man-thing (gnoll) is going to do so much internal damage just from the force of the impact that she would go down hard. She might not die… at least right away, but she would definitely be done. Now with D&D rules in play a broken item does not do damage… a “generous” DM might let you use it as an improvised weapon and do like 1d2 with it (with gnoll’s strength bonus he might still do some damage)…
It’s not about how brittle or rusted the knife becomes, it’s about what happens immediately after it becomes rusted — i.e. the “bug” eats it, tout de suite.

Holy crap. Holy, holy, holy, holy crap.
Oh relax! It’s just a bard. There’ll be a replacement bard along in just a minute or two!

Eat Dagger?
Hopefully Rusty is that fast, or what Robespierre does to that dog will NOT be pretty. I wouldn’t be so merciful as that loveable troll.

Aaagh! With you on that. Hoping the little bug’s still got the fastest feelers around and the dog’s got nothing but a stub.

@Mantimeforgot
Are you sure? D&D 3.5 rules state that a broken weapon takes only a -2 to hit and to damage, not that you can’t use it.
Why !!!
