My interpretation of the rules is that, in this exemple, I would say that the Troll would first reduce Oscar's AP to 0 in order to win its sense of duty contest. If it wins, Oscar's only alternative would be to start a different contest , ie a combat one if he wants to pass. On the other hand, if the Troll loses the contest, I would say that Oscar convinced him and the Troll is not worried about the consequencces of letting Oscar passing and let him go.
Would this be a valid way of playing the scene as well ?
