Grim's Grotto frequently creates impossible maps and there's not much you can do about it. For consistency, try prepping Binlor. If you bring a trisword or an alchemy scroll (which is not a bad idea for a halfling) you can get some synergy by combining potion spam with Stone Skin spam.
Also, Grim's Grotto is a bit weird in that it does not use the Hard array for the monsters, but a unique array that is slightly more powerful than Hard, but way lower than Vicious. This makes getting started difficult without significant leverage. A well timed Slayer Wand can get you over the significant starting hump.
