Need a hand with this one. Trapped in a room with no other exits by a stupid Grotesque. Can't Exchange Places with it, can't damage it with arrows. It won't move, and it would rend me to pieces if I attacked it. Suggestions?
Sit here and starve to death? That would be a real shame, this is the best Edain I've had in a long time.

Also, no shovel, and putting on the Gauntlets and quaffing a Potion of Strength doesn't seem to give me the ability to get through the granite walls. Looks like I'm good and trapped.

They move (& attack!) only when you can't see them, so you need to not look. This should be possible unless the room is lit.
If it is lit, I'm sad to say that you might be in trouble. We did worried a little about this possibility, but as it had never occurred we weren't sure how plausible it was. I'll talk to half about this.

Yup, the room is lit.
Unfortunately, closing the door doesn't fool it into thinking I'm not looking and make it decide to go home. Also I have no way of blinding myself or darkening the room.
So they only attack when I'm not looking? Does that mean I can go beat on it with impunity until it dies, safe from harm?

You could attack it with impunity, but I'm afraid that I don't know whether you'll be able to kill it without a bigger weapon -- it has very high damage reduction and is immune to criticals. And actually without a shovel you would be in trouble even if you could kill it.
I'm assuming that you've tried closing the door on it and waiting quite a while rather than just briefly? I'm not sure if Vanish could persuade it to wander somewhere else.
The only other possibility which occurs to me is to try to attract the attention of a Kemenrauko or some other rock-eating monster. Blowing your trumpet makes lots of noise, so that could work. It is of course possible that you'd just be attracting another kind of death, but there's some slim hope of survival that way.

Yes, try Scatha's advice and let us know if it works. Looking at your character sheet, you are underprepared for that depth in a couple of ways. One is the lack of a shovel, the other is the lack of a big weapon. If you had a mattock or a great sword, you could drink the strength potion, eat the herb of rage, wear the gaunlets, and get a 3d10 attack or so, which would be enough to kill it. Obviously playing the stealth game makes it more likely for you to be unprepared. It feels like more of a problem if you don't die immediately in such situation, but I'm not sure whether it really is.
Did you know there was a Grotesque following you? Had you met them before? If so, you would be familiar with their behaviour and should factor it in when exploring unknown areas with one on your tail.
As a final suggestion, try search for secret doors, and also stepping on every square of the room -- there might be a useful trap.

I'll try blowing the horn. Sadly, no secret doors (that I can find), and no useful traps. It's a dead-end, very plain room, as far as I can tell. I've tried closing the door and waiting a few hundred turns, as far as I know they don't go unwary. Maybe if I try waiting longer it will eventually go unwary and walk away? I've still got at least a few thousand turns of food, and unlimited light.
Unfortunately, I only noticed that I had a Grotesque tailing me _after_ it had already entered the hallway behind me (they have a very distinctive movement pattern), so I decided to press on and hope there was an exit ahead. I also did not know that I could not Exchange Places with it (until I tried and failed). Color me bummed.

The trumpet strategy hasn't worked out. Is this thing going to go unwary at some point and walk away?

It looks like you are doomed, and the only options are to starve to death or to commit suicide (Q). Sorry about that. As I said, I'm not sure whether to change anything to prevent this type of case in the future or not -- it is certainly rare. There are often really interesting ways of getting out of this kind of situation, so anything that makes it too easy would remove that interest...
