Yeah I know how to handle summons to some extent, they happen in Nethack too - Master Lich summons 10 major demons and another Master Lich which then summons another 10 major demons etc and you're in schtuck. In Nethack you can't just run away either as that level will always remain like that - they don't disappear every time you go up and down a staircase. That's why we genocide Master Lich's as a matter of course unless you fancy a proper hard time completing it.
Speed v Nexus - that's what I thought and then immediately got blasted by a surprise attack by a nexus vortex upon descending
Fortunately as a dwarf I seemed to resist it's effects through a saving roll.
I shall remain wary though - my stats are all 18/something except for intelligence which is still 12. A swap through a nexus attack might be significantly disadvantageous.
I do start to get why it's a bad move to attack everything. Losing half your stuff through fireball attacks by multiple foes worth 300 XP each is just attrition that's not helpful.
