I'm about to leave DL87 at 18,433 turns. Since I have forced descent on and skipping 3 dungeon levels every time I descend I have pretty much no chance of winning, but it's still fun. If I can pick up a couple of wands/rods of TO I will have a chance, but the one wand I picked up the entire game got destroyed upon trying to ?recharge. I have no telepathy, one rod of Detection I bought in the BM and am still wielding Forasgil. But I did find a rod of speed, 3 staves of speed and another ring of damage good for +14 dam and gloves of Theivery along the way. I used a ?Destruction to remove Ungoliant who was near a Topaz ring which I was hopeful was going to be a ring of speed. Counting 15 squares worked, Ungoliant got removed from the level and I easily navigated the rubble to collect the ring of speed <+9> two squares away from where she was.
If I read a ?RoP in a hallway to prevent a monster form pursuing me and then he is out of line of sight but still trying to get passed the RoP to get to me, will he have a chance to break the rune while he is offscreen?

I think that plan mighta worked. Not sure how close I have to be to shelob before she starts pursuing me again, though.
This is a good example of where too much stealth is a bad thing.
