(I play with save scumming because I'm just not good enough to avoid
it).

So I get to dungeon level 10 and find a Silver Statue. I'm a
Minotaur Monk.

Never seen one before, death rapidly ensues.

Reload, discover that no, it's not just me being bad at roguelikes,
it really *is* impossible for a level 10 Monk to beat one of these
things.

My question is, what is the appropriate way to deal with this when
you're *not* scumming? i.e. what would you do if you saw a silver
statue and you were level 10? Just run the hell away?
