You could try a high-elf paladin - starts with lousy wisdom, but you get see invisible and rLight for free.
Also he has good fighting abilities and reasonble stealth.
The stairs. When you detected wormtongue earlier and decided he was too close for comfort, your first thought should have been to take the stairs out of the level. If you end up in the middle of a pack of orcs when you head up, you can head right back down and repeat until things look clear enough to rest.
btw, there's nothing magical about dlvl 10, more about just diving as fast as you can especially through the first several levels where there's nothing but junk anyway. Seems like egos start being common around dlvl 20 and I think stat potions become common around dlvl 30.
Tigers move fast and hit hard, so unless you can deal a lot of damage they are very dangerous. Watch out for quick monsters.
