Lvl 11, Dlvl 6, Human Samurai, killed by a gargoyle

I completely cleared out the Gnomish Mines and was hanging out in Minetown trying to identify stuff. I had Snickersnee from sacrificing monsters out of a bag of tricks I found. This gargoyle came up and totally kicked my ass. I tried engraving Elbereth, but that didn't work. I didn't think to use the potion of extra healing I had on hand.

As a sidenote, it's a pain in the ass when you're lawful and can't kill any dwarfs for mithril or pickaxes.
