Confronted by an army of Giant Trolls.........

I have never once experienced this in my many ventures through the game, but a few minutes ago, I entered the Troll Mound at the Druid Grove with my solo Swashbuckler, and was almost immediately confronted by an army of trolls. They started randomly spawning until I was completely surrounded. Not to mention that they were giant trolls which are a real pain. Take a look:

By the way I died LOL

On a side note, why do giant trolls only surrender 1400XP? The same as a standard Troll?

Standard Troll:

STR 15
DEX 14
CON 9
INT 16
WIS 9
CHA 9

HP 50, AC 4, attacking 3 times per round with THAC0 13

Giant Troll:

STR 21
DEX 20
CON 9
INT 16
WIS 9
CHA 9

HP 101, AC 0, attacking 3 times per round with THAC0 9

The giant troll is absolutely superior, attacking with an additional +9 damage with each hit, +4 better AC, almost double the hitpoints and +4 to hit over a standard troll ???? yet they both surrender 1400XP???

Thats a lot of trolls lol. I actually had a similar problem with TeamBG's Dark side of the sword coast for BG1. When I encountered drizzt and tried to kill him he summoned Guenhyvar, the trouble being once she had be summoned the panther suddenly started springing up everywhere there must have been 30 Guenhyvars on the screen by the time my party were wiped out.

same thng happened to me when i was soloing as an assassin. I just kept running around inmside the mounds trying to hide in shadows, and whenever I went off of one part of the inside of the mound, the trolls there would follow me to the other and when when i went back again there would be more trolls there. I eventually just took all the goodies in there and run like hell, which is what i would suggest doing if that happens again.

It is a bug, and it has happened to me before; but not with enemies, but with the little boy who works for Gayle Bayle(sp?). There were about 30 of them, and I was afraid I had to talk to all of them. Thankfully, that was not the case.

Yips that is alot of trolls in there. This is where you need to pull A comet out of the sky to take care of them all. Just imagine if you were in the lair of a dragon and this happened. Ouch
