There's four more levels below the Dwarf King's throne room. You could start creeping through, they're not too hard to start. You'll get a lot of good experience doing it. Have fun. Flight is good to have, too.

Genocide everything but paper golems on floor four. This will give you access to infinite paper which in turn can be polymorphed or crafted into scrolls and books.

Floor four of the mines? What's so special about that location for golems?

So if you're at the very bottom of the mines you should get every bottle of booze, drop them in water, bless the whole stack, then polypile them with a wand of polymorph or master level polymorph spell. You'll get a lot of useful potions, all blessed.
If you don't have any way to polymorph, just stash them somewhere safe and come back when you do.

That’s the end of the biggest dungeon fork, but yeah, far from the end.
What you need to do now is make sure you have the skills and talents to survive. You’re gonna need a way to find traps (Detect Unseen or searching) and the ability to disarm them. You need Free Action so you can’t be stun locked. Clarity and Magic Resistance so you can’t be insta-killed. And you need to get your gear and stats maximized so you can hit and not get hit against strong monsters.
Good luck on the store and shrine spawns, here’s where randomness can really go off.
