Tips for Troll Trouble

[Herodotus]

So, I've got to a point where the trolls may or may not be about to destroy my barony in about a month's time...which is to say, that is exactly what they are about to do. Now, luckily, I have already found the Troll Hideout, the thing is, I keep getting flattened by the two branded trolls and their Greater Trollhound, which continually fears my party. If I could find some way to stave off the fear effect, I think I'd be alright, but I can't seem to find anything.

Any tips? Hints? As much as possible, I'd appreciate it if you kept it spoiler free. Please and thanks!

pretty sure there is a low level priest spell to increase resistance to fear, and perhaps a bard song (not sure on that one)

-> Unbreakable Heart

Depending on the way fear is "given" to you, you might want to put your distance dps/caster farther in the back

You might want to "control" the trollhound so it does not cast fear (if it is not a passive ability) => Grease , daze , hold mosnter or this kind of things

Remove fear make you immune to 1 attempt of fear. You can buy a scroll from priest, bard or cleric or inquisitor can read it.

I believe it also provides a bonus to fear saves for the duration czn't remember how much I think +2 but it could be a bit higher. One of the few good reasons o have a Pal in your group you can use him to tie up fear causers before the can set the rest of your party to running.

Bring Linzi the Bard, and use her level 6 song, Fascinate. Trolls have terrible Will saves. Also, all Clerics (Harrim, Tristian) have Remove Fear, which is a large area AoE that does exactly what it says, it removes fear, and it also gives a temporary bonus to fear saving throws. Lasts like 10 minutes IIRC. You might want to have the cleric prepare more than one Remove Fear slot every day. It's one of the more useful level 1 Cleric Spells in Kingmaker actually. Generally the game does a pretty good job of giving you a good reason to have a cleric on the party. Spells like Remove Fear and Unbreakable Heart come in handy more often than you'd think ,especially in the late game, and you can use spells like Mass Heal and Mass Cure Light Wounds on mobs of undead for damage. Plus Death Ward is good in crypts and tombs, Communal Delay Poison is good, Communal Resist Energy is good, all of the Heal and Restoration spells are fairly often needed, and you can use buffs like Bull's Strength on aninmal companions, if you're running Ekundayo the ranger.

Thanks everyone, this has all been immensely useful, and I actually did it! You've saved the barony! (for now).
