Only other significant(?) items in my stash are a +0 bow with a pile of 40 arrows and 15 poisoned arrows. Should I feel the urge to poke at bows, there are several other arrow stacks thoughtfully left lying around by friendly neighborhood centaurs. No, I don't actually carry all that around with me, but it was easier than creating an itemized list of my stash. Oh, there are also a couple troll hides sitting around unused.
Notice that I have yet to encounter a single conjurations spell outside of my starting book. Magic Dart isn't cutting it, to say the least. I picked up the bow thinking it might come in handy, but I got tired of lugging it around and forgetting to use it while it took up 25% of my weight limit, so I dropped it in my stash.
D:10 was home to the Lair entrance (I haven't actually seen Orc yet, which is on the unusual side), along with a welcoming committee of 2 trolls, a couple packen of yaken, an elephant slug, an elephant, and some snail. I was able to clear the area around the entrance through some careful single pulling, lots of Meph, and the judicious (read: friggin stupidly dangerous, given that I had a bow sitting in my stash) application of that draining-branded dagger. I ended up hitting the elephant so many times that it took me from XL10 + 97% to XL11 + 1%. :S D:11 has Fannar and a quite powerful player ghost holding hands and singing Kum Ba Ya camped out at the stairs, and it was all I could do to get back up safely. There are also many trolls, hill giants, etc, scattered around the level; while I can take a single one out with Meph + MD + optional summon, they're a bit too close for me to Meph in comfort.
Since Crawl obviously wanted me to go the Lair, I obligingly went downstairs and said hello to the black mamba slithering over from the edge of my LOS. I tossed up a trio of Ice Beasts, hoping he'd take more cold damage, but he 1- or 2-shot each of them. They *did* manage to slow him long enough for me to reach a different set of stairs and climb up (no sense leaving him waiting at the bottom of my only path down). To my mixed delight, however, a pack of Canine Familiars with 2-3 war dogs seems quite capable of tearing apart anything I've encountered so far (including Gastronok and his +INT hat! Yay!). The only difficulties I've had are descending stairs with a pack of blink frogs and a pack of green rats on opposite sides, and descending another set of stairs on the same level with a pack of yaks and a pack of elephants within LOS. In both cases, the use of stairdancing and stupidly large packs of dogs managed to eventually get me out of danger. I've cleared out down through L:4 using the same "strategy" of "Hit 'o', interrupting it every few seconds to summon more dogs".
The obvious problem with the summons is that I'm advancing in XL much more slowly now. An additional problem is that I can't supplement my pack's damage with Meph, since they're just as susceptible as most monsters are. As I see it, I can either focus Bow, or I can hold out and hope I hit 6* with Vehu soon - I can't remember exactly when I hit 5*, but I think it was sometime in L:1 or L:2 - and start getting Conj books. My Air skill is high enough that Lightning Bolt can take a decent chunk out of anything pre-L:7/8, and I think I could get BoCold/Freezing Cloud up reasonably quickly. Is it worth waiting for god gifts, or should I seek alternate, non-XP-stealing means of converting my enemies into food?
