Try wishing for:
	(1) Ring of teleport control.
	(2) Potion of confusion.
	(3) Scroll of teleportation.
Hopefully you are fire resistant by now. Put on the ring, quaff the
potion, and then read the scroll of teleportation. You'll get:
	What level do you wish to teleport to?
A few other things to remember, you'll need a ring of levitation and
you had better be pretty studly as the amulet's guardian is quite
dangerous.

As to genociding priorities, killer bees go first. You'll still find
plenty of royal jelly and a dead scorpian body makes you just as
poison proof. Next go Xan's and then I'll begin to save them up for
a pinch. 

Personally, the only horror story I've heard concerning cockatrices
concerns the guy who teleported on top of the one he had killed
earlier. That'll teach him to eat that poor Leppie.
