Without having tested it in practise a wand of destruction
might work as only a single row of walls block you from
direct digging access.
I have drawn a map as I see it done. The cut off part in
the left hand side is completely untouched and removed to
avoid weird wrapping. Hope the map is readable despite the
lack of coloration.
You eliminate the antechamber and block with doors as a
basic safety precaution and then dig in to the o where you
zap the wand. Then you place another safety door and dig
on into the left side treasures. These should be safe. I
am not sure, but I think you can claim the southern statue
and only activate the southernmost bugs in the big room.
These should be relatively easy to dispatch before a dig
into the right side treasures. Being DL 12 a wand of
destruction is occationally found. This could be a good
place to use it. If it works....
