Dive deep and fast. (Obviously, there’s a balance to strike here.) The deeper you go, the better the treasures are. The Word of Recall scroll is your friend: always have at least two on you. You can read it, and get transported back up to the village after a few turns. I like taking multiple with me down into the dungeon, just in case one gets destroyed by, say, an acid trap. If you read this scroll from the village, it will transport you to the lowest level you have visited. Rest frequently. There’s nothing wrong with running away from a fight.
