Re: Odds of escaping this situation?

Do you expect a number as response? :)
Keep walking and you'll see. Sometimes it's possible to escape without fighting any monsters. If you find Lugonu's altar, abandon Chei IMHO.

Re: Odds of escaping this situation?

Why don't you have Sticks to Snakes memorized? It's a great spell and you should use it.

Re: Odds of escaping this situation?

Well, it's quite simple. Whenever something dangerous appears that you want dead, cast Sticks to Snakes a few times. Keep autopickup on for arrows.

Re: Odds of escaping this situation?

Train Stealth only in Abyss?

Run, don't fight, unless unavoidable or maybe popcorn to spawn exit. Use consumables (fog and agility and unided scrolls) early and often. Maybe hang around water if you find it since you're merfolk. Yeah, memorize S2S ASAP and use it liberally.
