Stone Valley is not a bad place for group hunts. However, stone trolls can be extremely difficult to hunt solo, as they heal rapidly (meaning that if you don't kill them in one hit, they're probably going to recover swiftly and undo all of your hard work), they recover quickly from stuns, and they like to use Unbalance when they're down, knocking you off your feet and into RT. Complicating stone troll hunts are the stone giants who, like storm giants, use lightning as a weapon (frying your nervous system and possibly killing you), and the wind, which can blow you off of Thanatoph, injuring or killing you.

Towering above you, the stone troll is an ugly, brutish looking creature.  Its marbled grey skin is covered with pocks and divots.  This lumpy grotesque troll grins maniacally at you, sending cracks and fissures across its face.

Hunting strategies

Stone Trolls are completely immune to fire damage, and are not affected by the Bone Shatter spell. Although they lack blood, they are vulnerable to Empathic Assault and its cycles of damage. They are also fairly weak against the Unbalance spell, and other SMR attacks.

Other information

Stone Valley is not a bad place for group hunts. However, stone trolls can be extremely difficult to hunt solo, as they heal rapidly (meaning that if you don't kill them in one hit, they're probably going to recover swiftly and undo all of your hard work), they recover quickly from stuns, and they like to use Unbalance (110) when they're down, knocking you off your feet and into RT. Complicating stone troll hunts are the stone giants who, like storm giants, use lightning as a weapon (frying your nervous system and possibly killing you), and the wind, which can blow you off of Thanatoph, injuring or (again) slaying you.
