What Airwolf wrote was very correct. Keeping short blade cursed makes hardly any sense once you reach max piety. You have mindelay on short sword anyway and damage boost from 4 skill levels is irrelevant. On top of that, +8 pierce short sword is a poor weapon which will barely kill anything in extended. You'd be better with +0 short sword of elec or some dagger for stabbing purposes.
Being non-Makh worshipper, you won't be able to stay bloodless, because you will be losing way too many HPs to forsake natural regeneration. Waiting till you become bloodless again is not an option in extended - there's no time to wait in e.g. hells.
Darkness is very useful for a stabber, as it decreases number of tiles one has to walk through unnoticed before stabbing an enemy. Furthermore, shorter vision means that there will be less enemies to fight at once.
Also, good luck with Tomb - you don't have means of clearing it efficiently while being vulnerable to dispel and eventually torment (somehow you need to regain HPs). Grab dispel at least if possible.
If you can get lvl 8-9 summonings, they are your best bet for clearing extended. Otherwise it will be a gamble - you have poor offense and no makh to regenerate lost HPs.
