There is an easier solution, yes. Instead of grabbing the sword and
running, just stay where you are. The first cloud will wear out, and you
should still be alive. Cure up if you want to. Then, step forward one
square, then back again. This will set off the next cloud, but you won't
be in it. As they only trigger once each, you can repeat this down the
corridor - set off the next could, then back out of it.
