-Crawl- YACD GEAE almost died on Zot:5

This one can't win the contest anymore, but I'd still like to escape
with the Orb. There's a big problem though: got teleport the mutation
but no single !oCM. Before I entered Zot:5, I *wisely* replaced my ring
of slaying with a =oTC, only to get a very harsh reminder on
*controlled* teleport being impossible unless you have the Orb:

That's what I'd call a worst case scenario (from shift-x and a former
Detect Creatures). A little later an ancient Lich joined the party and
thanks to Deflect Missiles, a /oHeal, all but one !oHW, several Hastes
and 3 or 4 deliberate teleports, I finally reached the big room in the
SW from where I was able to run past the 2 traps, sneakily ignored a
legendary HaHu ghost (pretty tough, able to blink) and finally escaped
to Zot:4. Glowing, but still in one piece.

As you can probably imagine, I'm not exactly in the mood to repeat this
adventure. So here's my question: what would be the best non-standard
place to look for a !oHW if you have teleportitis? My last hope for now
is the Crypt which I skipped (due to move-counter considerations)...

Typo, of course I meant !oCM.
