With a hostile Quest leader you can't go to deeper levels
of the Quest, right? If I understand correctly once you
leave the Quest level you won't be able to get be in. If
that's correct:
Or don't unwield Stormy. Use it to kill your leader for
the extra XP points. Since XP points and assorted treasure
will be all you can possibly get out of this game and you
would be going for the highest non-ascension score possible,
stay on that level until you've wiped out everything and
gathered every possible item there.
The best possible outcome of the game at this point is an
extinctionist non-ascension. There's only one Quest leader
to make extinct.
Or quit the dungeon now with whatever loot you have,
learn the "don't do that next time" lesson that is key
to playing Nethack, and launch another character.
