In the beginning fighting a troll while you look for crypts and copper was often deadly. It just sucks more now because losing skills when your at 15pt hurts a lot less then when you are at 60. Bugs make noise, you know when they are around. The mist has small breaks in it that move along with it. Don't be in a hurry. You want to see them before they see you. And remember soldiers cant climb... Unless you are really good, you have no need to go toe to toe with one. (in my humble opinion)
