	Stop carrying food if you've learned Create Food.

>f) 3 Mushrooms of First-Aid.                             0.3 lb
	Sell these - they're not as potent as your potions.

>h) a Hairy Mold of Cure Serious Wounds.                  0.2 lb

	Buy about four more of these - to be safe.

>p) a Scroll of Recharging.
	Ditch this - you have the spell.

	You have (R) armor.  Drop or sell this.

>u) 4 Wooden Torches with 4000 turns of light.           12.0 lb

>Finally:

	You should have a little more once you've sold some stuff.
As a mage when you find wands, staffs and stuff that you don't need,
sell them at the earliers opportunity.

	You'll need some speed items (found at 2500 feet and down, just like
the Balrog.)  Gain a few levels before venturing down there.
	I hope this helps.
