	[The Easy Way]

	You should have backed off, dropped the scroll of scare monster,
	and waited for the confusion to wear off...and then beat him to death.
	Of course, you've just used up your scroll of scare monster...

	[The Hard Way]
	I find that avoiding the confusion of umber hulks(5.2)/medusas(5.3)
	by quaffing the potion fo blindness is not a win...the best way to
	handle them is to lure them into a corridor, where your only possible
	moves, even while confused, are to retreat or to hit; thus you are
	guaranteed at least as many chances at hitting the critter as it
	has of hitting you...'course, if your armor isn't that good...or if
	something else sneaks up behind you...

I like to drink and dance all night,
Comes to a fix, not afraid to fight,
You got that, right?
