Lack of resources eventually got me. Those killer bees didn't finish me
off but...

Unseen horror was causing me problems but I thought I could take it by
poisoning with the blowgun. It was dying but I needed to retreat as it
was getting in the odd hit on me too. Turned a corner, saw a centaur it
shot, dead :)

Still think I'll persist in this... Need to get more stealthy and do
more damage either bare handed or with a short blade and I think it
could work.

Everyone's a quarterback after the play, but... with unseen horrors,
it's important to take 'em out quick (or at least get them to flee). I'd
probably have opened up with the /oRE (if it hastes it, well, you've
still plenty of teleportation scrolls...), as
fire/cold/lightning/draining effects would all have helped immensely.
Then off to the /oFrost... with the aim for the moment being to get the
durn thing to flee. Even with SeeInvis, UH's are just so awful fast and
hard-hitting that there's no use "saving things for emergencies" any
more, because they *are* that emergency, at least until you're pretty buff.

Considering their rapid movement, a poison cloud might also have gotten
poison into that UH quicker than the poisoned needles. Hard to say
without having ever tried it, though.

It's a very good way to kill unseen horrors, especially when you're
stuck fighting one in the open -- center the cloud on yourself, and the
horror'll fly through it to attack you.

(The important thing with Evaporate is, don't try to hit the horror with
the potion. You'll miss. Just try to poison the air somewhere where
you know it'll have to move through to get to you.)
