[Tuor of Gondolin]

Since William is obviously the intellectual
of the two remaining trolls, having the foresight
to plan for ah, foraging, by moving down from
the hills above the East Road.

And since there must be a limited supply of
sheep on the island, it's best to cut down on
the number of trolls, particularly since they
might get bored with eating mutton or if the
sheep supply ran short they'd
look for other kinds of snacks. While men and elf
survivors might be safe, dwarves (especially the dead
ones) and burrahobbits might be in danger of
sudden removal as contestants.
