safest way to escape constriction

What is the safest way to escape constriction in the situation below? I was surrounded by a guardian serpent, and tried to clear out the monsters with Ignition. Unfortunately I got constricted, and am now in one-shot range. I'd probably survive another few rounds because of EV & SH, but still.
I could use the fan of gales, but I remember once I got killed when I tried that whilst I was being constricted by a Tentacled Monstrosity. The constricting TM was the only monster which wasn't pushed back, and I don't know why. I'm worried constricting monsters might be immune to the Fan.
I could ignite again. The shock serpent would die, and the constricting Naga Warior would probably die. (He's at 50% hp, and I suspect he should take more than 50% damage on average. Don't know that for certain unfortunately.)
Reading a scroll of controlled blink could get me out, but I don't know what the likelihood thereof is. (I understand I have 2 escape attempts, but don't know the chance for the individual escape attempts)
I could be missing something. Again, any advise is welcome.

Re: safest way to escape constriction

So you're wearing an amulet of harm, which makes the situation even more dangerous. A scroll of fear is another option, but I have no idea if it's better than a scroll of blinking.

Imo you are training too many skills at the same time.

Re: safest way to escape constriction

Thanks for the advise. The scroll of fear worked like a charm!

Are there any skills you think I've overtrained? I'm going to put (some of) my stealth xp into fighting using transfer knowledge. I can also correct any other mistakes with Transfer Knowledge :)

The amulet of Xacwis {Harm *Drain MP-9 Int+8 Dex+4 Stlth+} was too cool for me not to want to wear it :P

Re: safest way to escape constriction

Granted that int +8 is huge, but having harm (which I'll consider a negative) and *drain and mp-9 is a lot of negative properties to balance that out with. You aren't carrying any other amulets (or even any other rings) so I'm not sure if you just drop all jewelery or haven't found much, but I'd probably try to find something else if you can.

Re: safest way to escape constriction

This is probably late, but about the skills: training Fire and Charms seems pointless; your spell success rates are good enough. You should probably stop training Stealth (even with the manual). I would learn Animate Skeleton and Swiftness.

Re: safest way to escape constriction

I was training fire for ignition, and with hindsight I'm happy with charms because I had to use Battlesphere until XL25 (when I found another non-elemental damage source: Dragon's Call). The extra spellpower was helpful.
