Wow, you only just figured that out?
I was thinking you'd already Troped up NetHack.

That's pretty easy. :P
Minetown is good except when no general store is generated.

I have a general store 3 levels above, so I don't need one.
Minetown is nice because of the stupid gnome hordes that dwell there AND the shops. You can directly sell the loot you got...
And is it normal that manes' appear in the Mines?

Minetown FTW.
And yeah, it's normal for manes to appear there. I've had a couple chickatrices in Minetown, and not as hallucinations XD

Sounds like a quick death. When you find Minetown, you are probably about Lvl 7 or so... and I haven't ever fought a chickatrice, but I guess that battling them is hard to survive if you have no attack to OHKO them.
The Samurai I'm currently playing has found a blindfold in a shop, and so he hasn a bit less to worry about them.

What.
I regularly visit Minetown at about Lv3 or Lv4, sometimes even Lv5, but hardly ever higher than that.

Ranged attacks ftw.
Carrying a pile of darts or rocks around always comes in handy in situations like these. Or, even better, an actual bow with arrows, of course.

Cock/Chickatrices are no problem anywhere if your outer garment has MC3. Cloak of MR, DSM, etc...

Epic fail! I just ruined a great game by hitting up instead of down while trying to escape with a wand of digging.

Whatever happened to good old-fashioned shovels? The blisters would tell you it was working!

When was the last time you played?

Anyhow, I doubt AoD had time to take out the digging implements out in the middle of combat, in which I assume he was.
