If you find a two-handed sword or a long sword, hang on to it and use
it.  They pack much more wallop than a mace unless they happen to be
cursed.  Missile weapons such as rows, crossbow bolts, spears, etc.,
are good for throwing at sleeping monsters.  The only way I have been
able to kill umber hulks and xorns is by using a sword that was enchanted
a few times.  By the way, slings and rocks are conspicuous by their
absence in 5.2.
