What I'd like to know is how to consistantly beat trolls. I'm 3-0
against umber hulks, 4-1 vs vampires, but 2-200 against those damn
trolls (the only time I've passed level 19 is when I genocided them).
The tactics I've utilised vs the first two (ie find a two-handed
sword, enchant the hell out of it, and use up seven suits of armor
fighting rust monsters) appear not to be sufficient against the third.
Am I just unfortunate, or is their something I should know? Why do
I enjoy success against the "terrors" of the deep and fail so
completely vs trolls? Please help!
