To the people who would like elaboration on my comment about carrying all
you can so that you can use a scare monster scroll more than once:

Normally, when you drop a scare monster scroll and use it, it will turn
to dust if you step off of it and back on.  However, if you are carrying 
all that you possibly can, you can drop the scroll, fight your monsters,
and then find something to pick up to replace the scare monster scroll. 
Then, if you want to use it again, you can step onto it and be safe.
However, you can never pick it up again.  This can really come in handy
sometimes, especially on the lower levels, or in an "infinite/party room".
Also, I don't think it costs you anything to carry the maximum load, so
why not do it, just so you have more to throw at monsters?
