As the subject line says.....

I have been trashed by a Xorn for the last time!!  This time, I was
down at level 20, with experience around 2000, strength of 19, a
once-enchanted two-handed sword, and a so-so armor class of 5.

I met the Xorn in a doorway; I got the first swing.  I missed him
four times in a row (I had been hitting about 85% of the time on
everybody else), was down to 9 hit pts., so I read my only scroll
of teleportation.  About two rooms later he caught up with me again,
and the same thing happened, only this time he left me with -12
hit pts., i.e., DEAD!!

What is I doing wrong -- I am shameless at this point and will take
any and all hints, answers, incantations, etc.

Your help VIA MAIL (not netnews) or via telephone is greatly appreciated.

Spoil me, baby!
