Trusty Paladin falls to darkness breath and orc swarm

Okay. For your next character, Salt Water potions are almost completely useless. And negatively enchanted weapons and armor are too.
I suggest you try no selling mode(birth option) to free you up to carry stuff.
Otherwise, the heavy armor probably protected you well, but might not have been the best way to spend money.
Had you had a staff of teleportation instead (cost about 3000 gp) you would have had more of a chance to survive.
Next time bring healing potions and phase door scrolls, they can easily save your life.
Your death was largely bad luck. Darkness breathers and powerful orcs are rare there. It mostly implies an orc pit and poorly positioned hounds.
I suggest that next time you push your limits on depth and run a lot to survive. My recommendation to you is High elf Mage or High elf Warrior, as the Warrior is easy to play and the Mage easy to run away with. Try to get a Mage to dlvl 20 and see how it changes your game.
Otherwise I can only recommend reading Eddie Grove's Tales of the bold rogue to gain an insight into the diving strategy.

I actually tried the high elf mage first. He didn't even make it out of town it was a little embarrassing so I thought I'd try something tough and simple. I like being able to self heal and buff without potions and scrolls, plus he gets portal (phase door) and some other useful stuff.

The negative gear in my house was unsellable, and I didn't realize the townsfolk pick up after you if you litter it. I was being earth friendly :P

So I get the high elf for being a wizard, but why for warrior? Wouldn't the dunadan (who has 0 negative stat bonuses) be much easier?

High-elf warrior is easy mostly because he has See Invisible. A dunadan with that will likely be more powerful, partly because he has more Dex, too.
Otherwise, a paladins magical abilities are unimpressive. He gets a couple buff spells, but those don't even out the loss of a blow, more melee skill and stat bonuses. His healing isn't guaranteed to work in a critical situation and thus potions are still necessary.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/rec.games.roguelike.angband/vr_0ydrflHk is a link to an RGRA thread about how to dive. Specific stories and information generally don't apply anymore, but it is still useful reading.
Try using light weapons. With a dagger, that enchantment, and your stats, you'd probably be doing way more damage and cheaper.
