I think a ring of protection might help. I had the same
problem with Basilisk's in Berkeley SuperRogue, until
using the above type rings ... or you could use a scroll
of genocide to get rid of them. There are various other
ways of getting temporary protection (potions of phasing,
invisibility ... spells on cancellation, etc.)
