How do I get out of this one then?
Its been a long time since I played, I've done a couple of 15 rune wins offline and a couple online too. But that was 0.16 I think (It was a long time ago)

I have manticore shooting spikes at me from a few spaces away, two water nymphs right next to me, and a water nymph and a merfolk siren a few squares away. Some stuff is protected by plants so I cannot kill it.
I'm worried that the two water nymphs and the manticore can wipe me out in the next turn, but I'm also wondering if my AC and EV will be enough to save me. I don't understand the EV page on the wiki, it seems to imply that a monsters "to hit" dice is always 18. Which means with my EV of 20, I'm basically never going to dodge anything. So I'm going to take anything up to 67 damage just from the manticore and 2 nymphs on the next turn (Before reductions)
My thought was to go invisible and try and go back upstairs (I am on stairs) but I think they are now covered in water (Does this matter?) and the nymphs also see invisible anyway.
I could quaff a heal wounds and blow up the two nymphs, but I'd still be mesmerised. Although I could break this with invisibility or maybe even confusion afterwards.
Any thoughts on how I get out of this? And also general tips on my build and tactics. Its been a while since I played!
Thanks!
