In response to the question about what to do when facing
		@Y
		H
and assuming you can't back away into a corridor (taking one hit from
someone if necessary - it's often worth it), the best strategy is:
Hit the monster which you can kill quicker. If you can finish the H off
with one blow, do it. Otherwise the H will keep draining you down while
you're exchanging blows with the Y. This is particularly true when the
"weaker" monster is, say, a G, which you can often finish off with one
blow but which can do noticeable damage if you don't.
