Fate?

[Nick]

My Oangband High Elf Necromancer recalled to DL46, and detected a green dragon pit, with 20-odd Ancient Greens and the rest mature and young. Not having RPois, I looked for the way to the nearest up staircase (not wanting to increase my recall depth), but went too close to the pit and a dragon came into view. I teleported it, but another appeared, so I gave up and teleported myself.

I took a roundabout way back to the stairs, and came on the dragon I had teleported. It seemed reasonable (with temporary RPois) to take it on by itself, so I did so. It dropped two items:

1. =RPois and
2. Cambeleg, which made up most of the CON shortfall from ditching my +3 ring.

Went back, killed the rest of the dragons.

Actually I saw something very similar. Found a vault that had a couple of Drolem's in it and I had poison as a resist hole still so decided to skip it. Reconsidered and decided to knock off a white dragon by the entrance, he drops RorPoi

Unless things have changed since 0.7, rPois is not as vital in O as in V. My current character didn't plug that hole until around DL85, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, but I wouldn't want to touch a green dragon pit without it...

My thoughts precisely. Temporary RPois would be bound to run out just as three of them breathed on me...

Character ended up being stormed to death by Waldern, incidentally.

Sorry to hear that. Try a shadow fairy rogue. They are great fun.

Yes, I've played Dark Elf Rogues in FA a bit, which are pretty similar.
