Troll Breakout

Troll Breakout is a side quest in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear.

Acquiring
Head to the eastern half of the Dragonspear Castle Exterior area, through the gate past Deneld. Speak to Sindret the troll] tamer, who is having problems wrangling a would-be escapee. She tells [[Gorion's Ward to retrieve a set of special troll shackles from a box in the north-western area of the camps, just below Commander Dreon.

Once the shackles are retrieved, she demands that Gorion's Ward be the one to shackle the troll. The player can attempt to either force Sindret to do it herself, find a peaceful solution, or simply attempt to subdue the troll with violence.

Forcing Sindret
Demanding that Sindret solve her own troll mess requires a certain level of Charisma. If successful, the quest is completed and the player earns 4,000 EXP. If the check is failed, Sindret and her men turn hostile; Sindret is worth 2,000 EXP, and her men are worth 420 EXP each.

Violent Pacification
If the player attempts to beat the troll into submission, it is possible to succeed, but it is also possible that the troll may be killed in the battle.

Successfully subduing the troll grants the party 4,000 EXP and 4 potions.

Killing it in the attempt results in 4,000 EXP, plus the troll's own 1,400 EXP, but no potions.

Diplomatic Pacification
Subduing the troll without violence requires a certain level of Intelligence, which allows Gorion's Ward the chance to confuse it so badly that it surrenders in the face of your big words and abstract philosophical debate. Succeeding at this route grants 4,000 EXP and 5 potions.

Note
As described on Sindret's page, it is ill-advised to talk to her whilst Viconia DeVir or Baeloth Barrityl is both in the party and within Sindret's visual range. She will brush it off the first time, if the player chooses the right options, but if they insist on speaking to a militant anti-drow fanatic with a drow close to hand, she will turn hostile, causing the rest of the camp to do the same.
