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.
