To be absolutely fair, I'd play this slightly differently.
"Oscar, old son roll away. Did you get a critical ...uhhh, I'm sorry a Big Success? No? The Troll didn't fumbl.... Sorry again Big Fail his resistance. So the whole thing has no effect and he swings his club at your head."
I'd say Oscar has to have some chance to come out of it as The Man Who Boggled The Great Troll. But not a whole lot.
Mind you this isn't quite what the HW rules say but it's how I'd handle it in actual practice.
