Turgon in trouble
I found Ulfang in a room to the south-east and fled from him to the stairs, where I found a group of wargs. I moved to the empty corridor (which I'm now in) and a Distended Spider came out. I ended up in the middle of the room against all of these foes, making many a whirlwind. Sadly I had no free turn to begin singing! With 1 health, I darted towards this tunnel with a warg at my heels. Looking through my inventory I remembered my staff of Warding, risked a turn of attack to use it, then moved down the corridor to safety. Or so I thought! It turned out to be full of shadow worms. I would have been overwhelmed by them (I had only recovered to 2 health so far!) so I traced out another glyph, sat in my hole and started shooting my bow at Ulfang and his retinue. I had them down to half health and myself up to half too when the rune finally broke. I quaffed the potions of Dex and Con as he closed the distance, then slew him in my bolt hole and charged out in a whirlwind of steel to destroy the others and descend towards Morgoth.

Cool situation, and thanks for sharing the story.

I was wondering how long the rune held for: would it have been worth the three turns and staff charge to step left, trace another, and step right again to be safer?

My recent attempts at the competition have been on the basis that to win one now needs to kill Morgoth, quickly. Consequently I've been diving fast at the start, and then dying. This might need a rethink.

I think the chance must have been about 1%, but even then I did try to do as you suggested. The staff was out of charges though..

Nice escape - I haven't yet used glyphs.
