If op is in the early iron age, they should be able to take down trolls easily with wood arrows. Op should not be using a crude bow, but a finewood bow, and the sight of a troll should make them think only of loot.

Op claims to have lured the troll into combat with an abomination. Shoot and run is the tactic for taking down a troll with arrows, yet op is able to kite trolls around and can't figure out how to kill them?
