As Silfir said, the best way to avoid cursed get is simply not to equip everything you find. When you're a beginner, it isn't always easy to tell which items should or should not be equipped in advance, but you'll find as you play, you'll be able to recognize what the "normal stats" for a given item are--so that, say you find a hand axe, you know that it's probably (1d6), and isn't worth equipping unless all you've got is a 1d4 dagger (even then, still probably not). Ditto for armor. If you are desperate to remove cursed gear, drop all non-cursed items, and pray a couple times. Eventually, your deity will get pissed and destroy all of your equipped gear. I'd only do this if 1) you're on bad terms with your deity anyway or 2) you get stuck with a really bad cursed item to be removed, or have a really good item that needs to be equipped. For normal purposes a blessed scroll of uncursing works well. You may want to consider playing an (high/grey) elf or dwarf priest. They start with good armor and the 'detect item status' skill that will auto-identify the bless/curse status of items when you pick them up. If you're still trying to figure out what everything does, this might be a nice way to do it.
Giant slugs are vulnerable to fire. They're also very, very slow. You should be able to kill them with missiles as long as you've got a bit of room--just stand offset from them by one row, shoot at them. Once they get on the same row as you, move up and diagonal to create some space.

Shoot him in this situation

Here you want to move in the '9' direction (up-right) to keep off the same row.
Keethrax is tough to kill at level 8, so I wouldn't be spending much time on that floor anyway. In general, if you're dying a lot in one area, it probably means that you shouldn't be there right now What race/class do you normally play?
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
