Try to backtrack?

If you chased her by moving to the right, then the exit is on the left (and so on).

Other than that, good luck.

*friendly pat on shoulder*

Then only luck is your friend there :P Generally try to go up as much as possible. And I bet there are some places that you remember (like some peculiar cavern or something), you just don't know about that :P

Also, I heard that if you find dwarven settlement, you can 'T'ravel from it, even if you're 200 levels below it. But don't quote me on that.

no. technically the fall didn't kill me, it just broke my hip, one arm, both legs, cut my throat, and damaged my left eye. I suffocated in actuality.

I modded the Dwarves beard to be able to [GRASP] stuff. Now they have shields in both hands while their beards holds an axe. I also made Humans able to grasp with their mouth, so they should also be able to multigrasp 2-handed swords while mouth wielding a shield...so yeah, they block things with their face.

I was also planning to add [GRASP] to Elf ears...but that would have been silly. Heh, can you imagine shooting a bow with their pointy ears and.....Hmm, on second thought...why not?

Attacks don't currently count the Z-level, so you can go around tapping A+Shift and hope to get lucky. Or unlucky, if you get teleported to FUN or a bird half a mile in the sky.

Adventurers. The only people of DF world who mastered Spell of Randomly Spontaneous Teleportation.

And you say there's no magic in DF, people.

Toady actualy plans to include magic later, I think. But I like to think of it as involuntary quantum entanglement, due to all adventurers being secret energy vampires.
