  to prevent the rust monster (aquator in newer versions) you must get a
scroll of protect armor (your armor is covered by a shimmering GOLD
shield).  this will prevent rust monsters and rust traps from doing
damage to your armor.

  only once did i find armor pre-protected, and they didn't even tell
me, i found out when a rust monster hit.

  the best thing to do is, as soon as you see a rust monster, take off
your armor, and then kill it.  also, keep on your second best armor
so your best isn't ruined...but, put on your best before you read
a scroll, just in case the scroll is a protect armor.

        happy roguing!!
