The master lich might or might not have been a problem? I don't know what your inventory was. I guess you wouldn't want to melee it. (Although if you were twoweaponing and had a reasonable second weapon it might have gone OK.) My biggest fear in that case would be #invoking the Orb and then ending up on DL 2 or something and having no way to uncurse --- although at least you could keep invoking the Orb every couple hundred turns and hopefully get back down to a lower level that way.
And of course everyone's playstyle is different. Dropping all your stuff without a solid plan, though, and the nymph having a 50% chance of taking the Orb anyway? #nethack is dangerous. :)
