Is there no escaping this?

In hell, in tatarus. Hell effect, spawn branch specific enemies. This is no surprise to anyone.
Last floor, treasure completely encased in walls, use passwall to access. No one is surprised yet again
Passwall is an ability that takes a few turns to complete. Yawn
You can sacrifice evocables to Ru, evocables like... a wand of digging perhaps.
Put all of these facts together and you get me stuck in a seperate room from an enemy that has a permanent silence aura. I can access absolutely none of my abilities that would normally be available to me to escape this. Im dead arent i?

ITS OK I'M A GENIUS. A HUGE, WASTEFUL, OVERLY COMPLICATED GENIUS. used a zigguraut figurine, spawned zigg. cleared floor, used scroll of teleport while on exit portal and went in immediately after. safely transported out when the timer ticked off. THE QUEST CONTINUES. but no until i get some way to smash walls instead of phase through them.

Lee's Rapid Deconstruction can destroy rock walls at mere 35 power. That said, don't bother. There's some loot behind these walls and nothing of importance, and you should just get the rune and get out in Tar:7.

You can't cast LRD when silenced

But you can destroy the wall before trapping yourself.

How does a wizard type cope with these perma-silence mobs?

Evokables are good.

Even when you are terrible at melee, these silence spectres are not too difficult to bring down, as long as you survive the crowd long enough that surrounds them. You need to prioritize the silence-sources aggressively, and try to lure them away from most of their support. And it helps to have a few skill points with a fast melee weapon.
