a scroll of genocide is rather drastic, and there are more monsters that
rust armor besides a rust monster.  a scroll of protection should do it,
if your version is Advanced Rogue 4.07.  some versions (5.3 anyway) have
a ring of maintain armor.  BTW, there are other side effects to a scroll
of protection, but i'll leave them for you to discover.
