Thanks for the suggestion, I did try that but there were like 4 trolls outside my base and 2 swam in, they were already whacking my stuff before I could even react, I'll try running further away next time but it just rattled my jimmies how they went all the way out to sea just to get in.

Normally there would be 2 trolls in the raid event. The simplest way to deal with it without fighting is to kite them around the raid zone. Once the raid ends run far away and they should retreat.

The better way is try to fight and kill them, even if you die in the process. Learning how to fight and learning from mistakes is very important in this game. Every mob, including bosses, is not too hard once you're experienced and familiar with their attack and moving patterns.
