Alus approaches the skirmish slowly as he raises his spear and traces large circles with it above his head. The wind follows suit, picking up into a small funnel around Alus, and once he is within 60ft of Derrikoth, Alus points the spear down at him, and a similar, but much stronger funnel of wind encapsulates the blue Dragonborn, making him harder to hit. Then, Alus snaps, and a familiar wreath of blue radiant flame detonates around the frost giant.

Mirroring Astra, Nirzeg becomes a one man Quartet as he drove the cart just within the 120 foot reach of the giant. "Wickerman! Give'm the Pepper!"He calls out. Not long after the words are shouted, from Derri's back, the lizard-like homunculus spits a out a ball of fire into the face of the giant. Meanwhile, Smart Zeek follows high in Derrith's wake, eventually turning to circling a good twenty foot above the giant's head over some unspoken command.

Genevieve’s two eldritch blasts splash harmlessly against the first frost giant, who bellows in giantish, “Sneaky foul mouthed weaklings! I’ll get you!”
He swings his log at Derrikoth with his massive reach—one swing at the Dragonborn, and then at Josephus the horse for good measure.
Attacking Derrikoth: 11 Damage: 18 bludgeoning
Attacking Josephus: 29 Damage: 25 bludgeoning
The log breaks upon the hitting with such force, and the frost giant bellows with mean-spirited laughter.
The other two giants, seeing that their friend is being attacked, begin to make their way over to help him out. Once they are about 240 feet out, they pull some large rocks from their sacks and throw them indiscriminately towards you.

Alus stands, mouth agape, as he watches the huge rocks hurled by the giants fly past him overhead and crash near his comrades. Stunned for a second, he shakes off his bewilderment and refocuses on the giant engaged with Derrikoth. He continues to approach, and again point his spear in the direction of the skirmish, this time send a beam of blue radiant energy rocketing towards the frost giant.

Wishing not to risk the cart further, Nirzeg either takes a moment to calm the beast down after nearly being wrecked by boulder, or if still calm steps off and starts making his way closer (20, just to get within the 60ft of the Derri's giant). "Wickerman! Juice Big D!"He calls out along the way, pulling out a strange device merging 3 silver pipes with a handle somehow affixed at one end.
"The demands of the Soul Trial has been decided!"
He lines up the barrels with the giant.
"The Soil that forbids the birth of life, Maiden White! The Cry of a soul without light, Forest Green! "And finally, the Decay awaiting all that exists, Endless Black."
With every word spoken by the Gith, a set of like colored script glows along the pipes. "Now Suffer!"A jet stream of sickly pale green and black bursts forth from the pipes, melding into a single stream aimed for the arm of Derri's giant. Hit or miss, the barrels start to melt after the fact, much to Nirzeg's chagrin. "Still needs a lot of work it seems."He says as Zeek moves to distract the Derri's attacker.
Action: Nirzeg Casts (3rd Level)Death Ray Mark 1 Attack: 16 Damage: 16.

Derrikoth gasps as he sees the giant swinging its log towards Josephus, shouting in Common and lowering his shield to catch the blow, “How dare you lay a hand on my-“ cutting off with a loud clang as the log is deflected upwards and into his face. He sits dazed for a second before muttering a quiet, ”Mommy,” and stabbing the giant again.
Despite the rock missing her entirely, Genevieve stared back at the boulder in worry. That would have seriously done some damage, she thinks, turning back to the main giant. Maybe if we get him down on his knees he’ll reconsider...
In hopes of trying to get this battle to run smoother for them, XJ9 moves just close enough to cast Faerie Fire on Cocky McGee.

The teal-outlined frost giant, his primary weapon smashed from the attack against Derrikoth, goes from a different tack. Quicker than you thought possible, he grabs a net from his side (it looks more like a bola, so small is it compared to the 20’ tall giant) and hurls it into Derrikoth’s face!
Weighted Net Attack on Derrikoth 24, on a hit you are restrained until you escape the net (you can make a DC 17 Strength check as an action).
At the same time, the more distant giants continue to advance, objects from their bags. One pulls out a rock, the other an antique dining room table, likely something they got from the partially-smashed, nearby home. They continue to be indiscriminate in their attacks. The giants are now within 200 ft of you.
Table Attack at Astra: 16 Damage: 21 bludgeoning
Rock Attack vs Alus: 19 Damage: 26 bludgeoning
One of them booms in jotun to the one fighting Derrikoth, “Quit messing around and squash him! We have real work to do.”

"Wickerman! Again! Sing the praise!"As the newtculus made ready to deliver another healthy dose of vitamin F for Fire before fluttering off towards Astra, Nirzeg continues to ever closer to the 1st Giant(ending 30ft away), focusing the half-melted barrels at the giant. And once more he gives his spiel that culminates in three beams of death converging into one, threatening to deliver the same decay upon the giant.Though the 'weapon' corrodes completely after, falling apart in his hands, Nirzeg has something of a satisfied look upon his face afterwards.
Meanwhile, Smart Zeek turns to try and help Derrikoth free himself by chewing and loosening the bonds wherever he could.
Action: Nirzeg Casts (3rd Level)Death Ray Mark 1 Attack: 18 Damage: 24.
Bonus Action: Command Wicker man to use Fire Spittle - Attack: 25 Damage: 9.

Alus raises his conch-shaped shield as the boulder lands just to his left. He remains focused on the giant engaged with Derri.
A familiar spectral anchor appears next to the frost giant, though its edges appear as if they've been filed down to be razor sharp. It floats above the frost giant and drops on its head, followed by another explosion of blue radiant flames.

Derrikoth’s lance strikes seem to wound the giant’s sensibilities more than his flesh, and he looks affronted that you would interfere in his contest.
