You need to heal a creature 6 times to satisfy Jharod requirement of "exerting mercy". One healing potion is not enough.
Plus I don't believe this bullshit about traps created by the player counting as player-inflicted damage. How does the game know you created the trap vs if it created it upon dungeon level generation? I heard this same bullshit regarding cats and the cats eye ring. I killed several cats using traps I created myself and the cat lord was my best friend and turned into a ring for me.
I said it before, and I'll say it again. If I knew scripture like you, I'd prolly be an athiest too.. -gut
