CIP DeAe of Veh, fighting Mennas

I'im currently fighting Mennas on D21. I'm really frightenned this character might die...

I've tried to reach the stairs before him, but, he is really too fast, despite the boots of running. I was silenced on the turn i saw him, and my escape options are few. Is the potion of speed sufficient to escape him? I don't feel i have any hope in melee, even with berserk rage...
How do I compare my spped to monsters speeds? my speed is around 8 (quick) and Mennas has a speed of 15, but this is definitely faster than me. I almost died to war dogs in the lair thinking i would be able to escape them.
I really like the rune i have, had to kill mara to get it, would'nt it be a shame if i die now?

Thanks for your help.

Re: CIP DeAe of Veh, fighting Mennas

A potion of speed will make you fast enough to escape, and you should definitely do so. Your current character almost certainly will not succeed in fighting Mennas successfully. Maybe come back when you have Ice Storm, which you can use to hit Mennas from off screen. For now, there's plenty of Vaults to explore, and once you've been off D21 for a while you'll be able to sneak past Mennas to get to D22 again.

You're probably not using your summons any more. Ice beasts are pretty obsolete, and getting rid of them and Recall will free up 7 slots. Furthermore, Fireball and Delayed Fireball are never going to be very good with 0 fire skill, and Freezing Cloud is much better at Fireball's late-game niche of killing high-EV targets. Haste is much more important than any of these.

Re: CIP DeAe of Veh, fighting Mennas

Also, a character at your level shouldn't have so many unidentified wands. If you get away from Mennas (or maybe even as a last resort), use your identify scrolls to ID those suckers. One of them might be teleport or haste, both of which are immensely useful in situations where you're silenced (like fighting Mennas).
