Help, my Healer is stuck in a corner on the Plane of Air, getting hammered by an archon with a cockatrice corpse. I can hit him with +7 Mjolly, but I have get stoned every turn and have to stop to eat lizard corpses, which I'm almost out of. I'm wearing a ring of conflict; what can I do to kill him or escapeQ.

The best option would be to zap it with a wand of teleportation; that works on monsters even on no-teleport levels. I can't remember offhand if that has to get past monster MR though. If zapping it doesn't work, try breaking the wand instead, as I'm fairly certain that always works. If you have a wand of wishing handy, you could wish up a wand of teleportation if you don't have one; hopefully you have enough lizard corpses left to do that. Escape doesn't seem that likely an option. A hasted Archon will be faster than you, and you can't teleport yourself away or zap it with a wand of digging.
Other, more obscure options might include controlled polymorph into a stoning-resistant creature (a yellow dragon or a skeleton might be a good choice), zapping it with a wand of undead turning, which will bring its cockatrice corpse back to life, zapping it with the spell "teleport away", or disarming it with a bullwhip. -Ion frigate 21:25, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
