Wow, this is new. So what would you do, go for it or run?
So around 1000' (L20), I got a a scroll of aquirement. I decided to save it until I got a few scrolls of deep descent. By the time I was level 26 and at 1300' (L26), I had gotten 3 so after going to town I decided to dive and see what type of item I could get. So that got me to 2100' (L41) where I managed to safely use the scroll and come home with a cute Crown of Light [0, +9] <+1>. Thus, I begun a descent starting at 50' again. I figured I could use some mushrooms of vigor if I could find some and collect a few healing potions and stuff.
Well to my surprise, at 500' I get "Omens of death haunt this place." I'm thinking it's some bug, but I have a rod of detection and this is what I see: 41 unidentified items and some of the monsters I saw at 2100'! (This is my first time to try to post a screen dump, I hope I do it right.)
EDIT: Also note that this is an experimental pixie race with a hitdie of 4 and -5 con penalty.
	So here are the scarry ones:
* V - Vampire lord (L42)
* d - Mature black dragon (L36)
* X - Xorn (L36)
* Q - Nexus Quylthulg (L32)
The only reasonable protection I have is a resist acid amulet, I don't have protection from confusion. Here is my current state, note the Mushroom of Clear Mind and Wand of Teleport Other sitting in my home
