...or whatever it's called.

I know this will be utterly unimpressive to most players, but my rash
impatience had prevented it from happening so far.

I got a pet balrog early on, festively dubbed Baby Jesus, which happily slew
everything in Minetown, so I sat there sacrificing or eating whatever came
along until I had collected quite a set of -banes (I only really needed
Maggie, being a wizard) and got some intrinsics. When my wrist started
hurting, I visited the bottom of the mines just for the hell of it (no pun
inten-- wait, that doesn't work anyway) and found a load of nice gems. Also,
an unexpected wand of wishing got me SDSM and speed boots.

Baby Jesus stopped being tame when I left him in a lower level of Sokoban
for a bit (he kept getting in the way), so after getting the amulet of
reflection (useless at this point) I had to tiptoe past him with a sob and a
goodbye.

Sounds like you forged down over-kitted and under-leveled. Despite
your good
luck in all the stuff you found, I'd venture to say you need to take
things more
slowly and carefully
-- even if you seem overpowered for the monsters
you're
seeing at the moment. Have means of teleportation available, at the
least,
when going through the Valley of the Dead and Gehennom.
