My half-troll warrior lab rat is dead. Got ambushed on his way from the Labyrinth to Morivant. Sadly, I only came up with a solution to ambushes after the game ended. The solution is simple: ?recall to Stronghold DL15 and (worst case) climb back to Output. A better case includes ?recall back to the wilderness and continue until next ambush.

The first part of the run was incredibly slow as @ was on a mission.
1. get enough gold to buy _identify from a shop.
2. identify everything to test if the staff explodes or not.

Step 2 took forever since I also opted to avoid auto-pickup/squelch in order to control when the staff was used.

When it was obvious (reaching DL15) that the staff (along with _illumination, -illumination and _detect traps) didn't risk explosion due to bad device skill, I decided to play the character with auto-pickup/squelch enabled.

Traveled to Morivant, cleaned out Orc cave and tried to get back from Labyrinth after climbing down the entrance stairs, but died to a really nasty ambush.
I don't know if I stepped on a high-level tile or just had bad luck ... or have had great luck with earlier characters.

The ambush started out as a large group of rangers. I decided to hide among the trees and kill a bunch of them wihtout LOS. Read ?Phase Door due to reaching low health. Had to read several scrolls as each blink took @ to a new group of enemies: mages, shadow creatures and some priests. Ended up fighting in open terrain eating a lot of damage from ranged attacks, as well as some curses.

Unlike my first half-troll warrior attempt, this character didn't suffer much from traps. Even ran through a hallway full of them during an encounter with Robin Hood.

One fun item I found was this:

a Short Bow of Accuracy (x2.50) (+12,+14)

Apparently accuracy is the most noticable aspect of this bow. Ignore the +14 to damage, every bow has that ...

A better solution is to reset your Stronghold recall to DL1 and just go up the stairs.

For future reference: devices don't blow up based on your device skill. Rather, it depends on the device being {cursed}.
Since everything you buy from the shop is fully identified, you know it's all safe. But if you just pick a device off of the ground you'll need to *identify* it to see whether it's at risk of blowing up in your hands. (Although normal cursed items can be found out with just normal ID, cursed DEVICES require the more expensive option.)

Scrolls of teleportation are really good for dealing with ambushes, by the way. If you land far enough from the monsters you can just press < and go to the world map, although sometimes you'll need to try several teleports before you land far enough away.

Thanks for the advices on escaping ambushes. It has improved survival of my characters significantly.
Of course, switching from rogues to half-troll warriors helps with survival, but it seems like this switch also increase the amount of ambushes.
