The team could hire a shifter to capture it - their dimensional sense skill allows them to interrupt or redirect dimensional teleports - that's all I've got...

What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world. - R E Lee
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. - G Orwell

There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles
them to believe that you perceive the web they weave
and keep on thinking free.

Really?!?!? I never knew this... is this in one of the shifter reprints?

That said, to answer the second part about supernatural creatures harming them as a general rule, yes, a supernatural creature's natural attacks count as a magical weapons for purposes of what they can damage... and magical weapons harm almost everything they encounter even those immune to normal physical damage. Even vampires can be harmed by supernatural fisticuffs/magical weapons, though they cannot be killed through any means other than those listed.

So a dragon can beat the snot out of a vamp reducing it to its regenerative comatose state but no matter how much damage the dragon does (it could reduce the vamp to -1000 HP) the vamp will still regenerate. Same goes for a rune sword. It will slice and dice a vamp but will not kill it (unless it is used to sever the head and then burn both the head and body seperatly).

IIRC the Jinn doesn't have such restrictions on what can actuall kill it, only what can damage it. So anything that can damage it can kill it. Supernatural creatures thereofore should be able to use thier natural attacks to kill it assuming it is on its native plane of course.

"Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred."
