As to the scroll of genocide, it is my opinion that the U's have to
go.  While the X is a matter of hack'n'slash, the U has its magic that
can very easily defeat you.

A question for the gurus in regards to 9.0:  With a scroll of
creation, you can create anything that you wish, including another
scroll of creation.  When that scroll is created, between one and
three were created?  If so, you could create an infinite number, by
using the first to create one to three, then the one to three to
create n more, and so on, and so on.  The reason I ask this is because
I used a scroll of creation to make a scroll of genocide to use on a U
that had me confused and almost dead.  The result of the creation was
two scrolls of genocide.

As to what I would like on the trip all the way down, I think the most
important things are a high constitution, so you get the hit points to
be able to go toe-to-toe with the heavy hitters without having to burn
all the magic, and a good armor class.  By the time you get down that
low, you should have the rings and other magic that you need.  The
keys are in the negative armor class and hit points.
