If the troll resists beyond your efforts to contain it, or if capture is too difficult, death is the judgment.
A skilled task force, accompanied by one of the dragons, heads out. The troll isn't hard to find; the trail of devastation it leaves in its wake of destroyed trees, upended stones and slaughtered animals is easy to find and follow. Over the course of several days, a trap pit is dug, and a plan formulated on how to lure it in.
The troll is successfully lured in by a group of fast-moving scouts, who evade its attacks and keep its attention focused upon them. Once lured to the pit, the troll is tricked into falling within through illusion magic that concealed its open surface. However, the monstrous beast is able to climb out, its size and strength underestimated. Immediately the warrior-priests go on the offensive, with warriors and scouts ready to back them up if need be, but it is the growing primordial dragon that proves to be the deciding factor.
Unleashing a torrent of flame upon the creature, it roars in pain and grabs at the dragon. The massive creatures roll around, clawing and biting, strangling and scraping. The troll's hide burns, its regenerative capabilities nullified by the flames, but it isn't going down without a fight.
The dragon is hurt badly, but not killed. He unleashes another blast of fire in the monster's face, burning it until its skull is exposed and its eyes burn out of its sockets, but it continues to throttle the dragon. Finally, with no short amount of effort on the dragon's part, the troll lets go and falls back, its body burning until only ash and burnt bones remain. The dragon is wounded, though perhaps his pride is what is most injured. He huffs and flies back towards home.
