It is possible to completely avoid the entire ordeal.  All you need is a potion of sprint (helpful, but not necessary) and a scroll of telekinesis or two.  Run past the Black Goblins and the Troll to the other side of the canyon where the winch is located (jammed).  Jump onto the winch if you can.  Ready the Telekinesis spell and look at the platform where the Focus Stone should be located - you should be able to highlight the stone and use the Telekinesis to draw it off the ledge, at the least.  Go pick it up and run away.  You can perform this trick at any point in the game.

For 2000 experience, I recommend using the Scroll of Shrink Monster on the Troll and killing it even if you aren't running the mission with Diego, and even if you feel greedy when you see the price tag attached to the scroll.  If you kill it now, then another Troll will be spawned during the [[Gothic/Search_for_the_ULU-MULU|ULU-MULU mission]] later, and you can kill it for another 2000 experience.  Considering the price, even if you have to buy the second Shrink Monster scroll for the other Troll, that's still almost as much in experience as the cost in ore.  Rather decent trade-off, in other words.
