I usually wait until my wands are identified, and then blast them from
afar. If you don't have any gold and you hit a leprechaun, it will stay and
fight. You can also etch and let your dog kill the leprechaun (it will take
a little time) but then the dog might eat the leprechaun before you get to it.
You have to be careful, Lepies have a lot of hit points (that's why your level
rises so dramatically when you kill one early) and they teleport around you when
fighting.
