You don't have to be a caster for Mennas to be trouble. He's faster than you and silences scrolls of blinking/teleport. If you aren't strong enough to take him on for whatever reason, he has a decent chance to prevent you from escaping him. He is alone in that among uniques -- or even monsters in general.
Though on the topic of not being able to escape uniques, I had a weird, probably-coincidental experience with Jory at one point in Vaults, where a convoker summoned him and a few other buddies, and I took a crystal spear to the face. I was also sealed in by a vault warden, so I escaped with a random teleport, which took me to a safe room halfway across the level. I pressed 5 to heal and . . . WTF? Jory suddenly comes into view after almost no time has passed. I tried silence + beatings to kill him, since he was now on his own, but silence expired before he did and I was forced to burn most of my resources to escape again. The character ended up surviving, but it seemed quite odd to me. I didn't think monsters could track you after a teleport . . . I suppose it's possible that he wandered into a teleport trap and happened to get placed near me.
