UC Troll vs Hydra
1) Run away. This only works for so long, especially if the swamp appears rather than the shoals.
2) Throw stuff at them. This works better later on once you have some throwing skill, but you have to kill them before you get into melee range I find because low ac+low dodging means death short number of turns.
3)Evocables: Another ranged option besides throwing.
4) melee with untrained weapon. Okawaru's heroism + bladed flaming weapon or blunt weapon means this can work with a high level character I find.
5) God Powers. Elyvilon and Mahkleb, especially Elyvilon, make hydras trivial. Brothers in arms from Trog works too, as well as berserk. Of course, this means picking another god over okawaru.
