Presumably by Trogging the hell out of them.
You seem to be on your way to a 2-Hander, your skills look good. Could use a bit more armour, you're probably missing due to your platemail, but I'm horrible at numbers, so I might be talking out of my arse.
You should be able to berserk/trogbro your way out of nearly everything.The biggest problem I see is the absolute lack of elemental resistances - Gargoyles really need those, as they have pretty low health in general, and anything that can bypass their armour can be lethal.
Try searching using the control+f function for Helmet, Boots, Gloves and Cloak - see if there are any with an Ego. You can also try looking for a Plate mail of rF+ or rC+, either will be more useful than your rNeg one - draining is a threat mostly in Elf and the Vaults, 3d20 bolts of fire are a threat everwhere.
Ugly things can be polymorphed with a wand to change their colour if you're worried they'll corode your equip or whatever.
Other than that, leave Swamp, explore the rest of the Lair, The Dungeon and check out the shops on Orc:4. I remember you saying there were nasty enemies on Orc:4, but a Troglodyte should be able to handle most everything Orc:4 has, barring perhaps the mass ogre ending, even then you should be able to lure enemies a few at a time.
edit : Ok I am officially out, and hella mad. Like, so mad. I wasted 2/3rds of my weekend, and this is what I get in the end.
5-rune TrMo of Jiyva. So much horror, so many close calls. And then in the end an orb of fire comes along when I'm already fighting another orb of fire, and they just... kill me.
