Hi,
I can understand your feelings of sadness about the hunter in a pit hole of a Big Troll !

I'm thinking: maybe it was possible to buy any rope by a vendor ? But don't know for sure there is a vendor selling a rope in Broken Valley ...

?
I for me had sadness about one action & I promised myself to never do that again:
betray the Seekers by Louis, saying him the Seekers have told me about Louis trapdoor nearby the Chapel is often unlocked !
Then Louis send the Seekers out on a mission impossible: try to kill an enormous Troll !
So next time I don't tell Louis the Seekers told me ... I don't like it to be a betrayer, it's more than sad enough Commander Rhode named me a "betrayer" when I met her and the other Dragon Slayers at the entrance of the Maxos Temple after Talana get in my mind.
