Hey guys, mind if I ask a few questions? I'm new to the game as well, and know just enough about the game to realize this character I'm playing is getting ridiculous luck from the RNG (or it seems that way to me). I've only made it to Dwarf town a handful of times, and usually perish somewhere between there and the Animated Forest. Here's my log with some questions below:

I couldn't get healing from Jharod due to my alignment at the time, considering I'm a troll is it still worth it for me to get it (I don't know how either)?
I don't quite understand herbs, but I know some raise To- since I started with 34 does that mean my max potential To is still higher and herbs are worth looking into? I guess they would for Dex and Wi.
There is a ring of djinni summoning in the shop in the screenshot, its probably worth it for me to buy it, I guess. Also, there is a Crown of Leadership [+2, +7] {ch+18}, I don't know if its good or not but it sure is expensive and the PV would be nice.
Is there anywhere I shouldnt be invisible with my cloak? I figure shopkeepers wouldnt like it.
Lastly, my quest from Thrundarr is to kill a Leucrotta. My course of action is to just to look around in the big room and hopefully find one there, get my potion of literacy, ID all of my gear, then make my way through the Animated Forest. Sound reasonable?
Thanks a lot, I'm trying not to use the guidebook or anything and I've just been killing chars here for weeks ha.
