How to get rid of a blind Cave Troll

dwarf-fortress

I have a blind Cave Troll unconscious in the center of my fort. This has brought the entire place to a stand still because every dwarf is too terrified of it to do anything. I have a full military of 10 dwarves set to kill it but it looks like it might be healing faster than they can kill it. These are extremely under qualified dwarfs. I can't use my workshops to build anything to help. What can I do to get rid of the damn thing?

I'm playing on v34.

Keep your military at it. While they pummel at the troll, they gain experience in their applicable combat skills, which makes them more efficient. It's just a matter of time until they will be experienced enough to out-damage its healing powers.

You can speed up the process by giving them better weapons. But maybe you shouldn't, because they currently gain experience much more efficiently than they could through training. This prolonged beatup session will certainly pay off in the future when you need them to defend against another threat.
