First approach to the Quest ever

Time's come. My gnomish cavewoman reached lvl 14. AC is still poor, just -7. Expert clubbing with +5. AoLS on the neck, AoR in the pack. Ohhh... I didn't add, my pet (and the reason my char still lives) is tame balrog(ess). I admit I will cry, if a random trap changes her unexpectedly into a random crap.

Should I swap amulets before approaching the dragon? I have not a single wand to create a permanant Elbereth.

Wish me luck and see You while I'm wielding the SoM :)
