AhAh, found it!
it's called Wumpus 2000 apparently.
Actually finding it was rather easy given Hal's find in Vf function.
It can be directly downloaded on
http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/zcode/wump2ka.z5

No, not hunt the wumpus exactly, but a sort of clone. A bit like hunt in
the dark, only with a kind of rpg and levelling system, a random dungeon
layout, and a lot more monsters to fight. But like I said, I could never
get into it given the exceedingly odd plot.

Actually there is at least one z-code game I can think of with RPG
mechanics. Called hmm... can't remember exactly, but something with
wumpus in it I think. Anyway its sort of like the old hunt the wumpus
game, only with a lot more levels, a massive set of caverns to
explore, and a lot of levelling to do and items and weapons to earn.
Unfortunately I could never really get into it since the plot is
weird and you start out as some weird news reporter or something, but
ah well. There's a lot more RPG style games for tads, the most
notable of which is magocracy, which I found rather interesting. You
play a hedge wizard, aka a wizard with almost no magical power or at
best slight of hand elusions or hardly useful spells, and you have to
go up against 4 powerful wizards, traps, and monsters within the
castle and try to earn the crown. It takes some strategy and careful
use of the rpg mechanics. These can be found on ifarchive, along with
a few others. Usually if they have some sort of rpg mechanics or
battle system its mensioned in the description.

Action and Z code don't really go together exactly.
The Eamon adventure games are pretty much a mix of rpg complete with
hack and slash xp combat, and basic If puzles, ---- but running them
under windows xp is proving interesting.
