MDDK noob advice, help me survive
I've taken a liking to MDDK's, i like the heavy armor, hard hitting side of the MD and I like the panic button of mirror and crowd control of drain life that i get with DK. I don't normally make it deep enough to worry about when and how to utilize enslave soul. That and having an army of minions is just fun. I've gotten deeper than I've ever made it before so now I have no idea what to do next. So I come to you, the almighty and all knowing forum people for advice. Here's the dump.
The tl;dr summary: lvl 13, down to snake 3, known locations of orc, elf, lair, snake, shoals, and hive, fan of mace and shield, picked up a mutation that makes me immune to pois
So here's what I'm thinking, feel free to call me crazy and point out what I'm doing wrong.
-16 is high enough for any 1h mace type so I can turn that off
-snake should be the easiest to finish, but I dont know if I'm strong enough for that yet
-i'm thinking about diving a floor or two into elf looking for some equipment
-i know rPois is good for hive, but how much deeper is it useful? (is it worth clearing my mutations to get back armor effectiveness at the cost of rPois after hive?)
-I'm going with the amulet of faith to keep myself at the higher end of Yred's minion gift list, flying skulls just get in the way
-What spells should I be looking for since I just hit spellcasting 1/what branches of magic are most helpful, even with my poor apts?
-Given those aforementioned poor apts to the magics, should I even worry about magic at all?
-What other important aspects of either MD or DK am I missing?

The tl;dr summary: lvl 13, down to snake 3, known locations of orc, elf, lair, snake, shoals, and hive, fan of mace and shield, picked up a mutation that makes me immune to pois
So here's what I'm thinking, feel free to call me crazy and point out what I'm doing wrong.
-16 is high enough for any 1h mace type so I can turn that off
-snake should be the easiest to finish, but I dont know if I'm strong enough for that yet
-i'm thinking about diving a floor or two into elf looking for some equipment
-i know rPois is good for hive, but how much deeper is it useful? (is it worth clearing my mutations to get back armor effectiveness at the cost of rPois after hive?)
-I'm going with the amulet of faith to keep myself at the higher end of Yred's minion gift list, flying skulls just get in the way
-What spells should I be looking for since I just hit spellcasting 1/what branches of magic are most helpful, even with my poor apts?
-Given those aforementioned poor apts to the magics, should I even worry about magic at all?
-What other important aspects of either MD or DK am I missing?
If at first you don't succeed, throw more bodies at the problem.
