If you reread the encounter carefully, you will find that the creature is
not a Cave Troll.  It actually is the Demon of Aglarond, which is thought to
have a challenge in the 60-75 range.  Standing quietly usually works for
getting away.  If you fight and win, you get some gold, and if the character
has mage skill, they will get a lost spell.

I recently had the encounter with Saruman (challenge > 100), who gained 3000
gold and the spell Teleport, so it can be a fun encounter. :-)
