[Crawl] YACD - GnTr I think I'm stuck on DL7...

There's a bunch of killer bees on this level. I've killed a few but
burnt all my decent potions to evaporate to do it. I can't stab them to
death before they poison me so much I have to retreat. I'm out of
healing. No poison resist. Only temple found. Running out of food as no
"otG and easy to get hungry. Think I'm screwed which is a shame as I'm
enjoying this guy. Probably made a mistake learning blade hands when I
can't reliably cast it yet.

Any possible get out suggestions appreciated...

You know I hadn't even thought of using the downstairs as I'm so used
to clearing the entire level before proceeding! Yeah I think that's
probably the best option, thanks again Erik! What would we do without
you?

All hail Darshans mighty patch and stash tracking all being set by
default in my game There's a blowgun on level 4. Time to go pick it
up and practice methinks.

Survived too. But damn it was close. Still short on food and healing.
Oh well no one told me this was going to be easy

So no down staircases found? Even if none have been found... YOU'RE A
GNOME. YOU HAVE LIMITED, BUT STILL USEFUL MAGIC MAPPING AS A RACIAL
ABILITY.

Once you find one, it's a matter of making a mad dash from the up to the
down, and just avoiding this level until you're better off against bees.
Your potions of confusion will help in slowing down pursuit (bees are,
oddly enough, NOT poison-immune), and Spider Form will help you run
faster (though it will also leave you naked). You might also try
poison-based (Spider Form) guerilla warfare against the bees, using
staircases to handle just a couple at a time -- though this is obviously
something more for after you've improved your food situation (reached
D:8) than before then.

Sorry for the second post in quick succession for the same subject, but
these are also worth a glance

If you manage to get a blowgun, these are good for some Evaporate-free
poisonings. Before then... the Hillbilly Sting isn't much good against
bees with their ridiculously high evasion, unfortunately.

Stop or enslave one bee in a corridor, and you've probably stopped
several more behind it.
