put some fixedarts in bcrawl Pan?

Some fixedarts are fun, and it would be great to be able to build around them.
Of course they're also powerful, and I understand the player shouldn't get cheap access to them. Some players may find it more exciting when you only see the [Hood of the Assassin] very rarely and can't count on it, but I'm not one of those players.

As an idea that I find quite exciting, I think some fixedarts could be put in a bcrawl-style Pan. (You can't enter bcrawl Pan when at XL27, and you have to leave when you reach XL27.) In the main game, the least disruptive way to approach this would be to spawn fixedarts in certain Pan levels if the player enters them at XL<27. (If my enthusiasm about bcrawl Pan isn't obvious enough; I'd love it too if the crawl trunk simply implemented bcrawl Pan.)

I could imagine the following distribution, though it might not be perfect:
Cerebov - elemental staff
Mnoleg - plutonium sword / lajatang of order
Lom Lobom - Wucad Mu / Majin-Bo
Gloorx Vloq - hood of assassin
