Next to Mennas. Next Move? Help!

Image

Hello! I know the title sounds very newbish. But I would appreciate any help on my next best option.
When I first saw Mennas I did move 1 square by mistake. That left me 1 turn to cast my wand of haste to get myself away from this dude. But of course, I forgot to recharge it and found the wand has 0 charges left when I tried it!
He dropped silence, and having nothing else to do, I moved squares up away from him to try and survive until his silence expires. During this he has hit me 4 times.
His silence has just finished. I have 59 HP left. AC 14. EV 12.
I now see 3 options -

1. Read a scroll of teleport straight away and hope I dont die before it kicks it. (I dont have control-tele)
2. Cast my swiftness spell to hope it gives me enough running speed to escape.
3. Read my blink scroll, and blink as far as I can north-west. (The level exit is far to the north west corner). Then cast swiftness and run as far as I can before his silence comes close to me again. I can then read scroll of teleport if I cant make it to the stairs (they are very far - maybe 20 moves).

I am leaning towards option 3. Actually as I have been typing this I just realised option 1 and 2 are probably much poorer choices, but hey I might as well post this since I have typed it out in case you guys can help develop my options.
I only have 1 turn to do something before his silence drops again if I recall correctly.

I have killed Mennas 2 times before with the same type of character. I plan to do just that if I get away to revisit him.

Thanks.

Re: Next to Mennas. Next Move? Help!

You won't outrun mennas with just swiftness. He'll probably still catch up to you after you use the blink scroll, but use that first and then decide if you think you can make it to a set of stairs. The real question is not if you should use the scroll of blink, but whether you should follow that up with an immediate tele or not.

I just realised instead of blinking north, I can blink straight to the stairs down on the screen and then go down them. But hope Mennas doesnt get next to me after I blink.
Do you think this will work ok if you check my above screen shot?

Re: Next to Mennas. Next Move? Help!

If you have enough of the map revealed, I'd sugest a cBlink, Tele, then swiftness run away. Downstairs can result in a frying pan-> fire moment. The big problem is the teleport might not kick in right.

Also, ctr+f a scroll of recharging for that hastewand and ID the other wands. Empty wands are useless as you know.

Re: Next to Mennas. Next Move? Help!

Most of this level was not mapped out yet. I was afraid if I used my teleport scroll I might end up next to a bunch of mobs, or even not far away enough from Mennas. I decided to blink to the stairs down, and I was able to go down the stairs with Mennas 2 squares away.
The next level down was quiet next to the stairs, so I was able to avert this disaster!
I have found keeping a single blink scroll can be a life saver when you dont have ctrl tele.
Thanks for the replies.
