Derrikoth works frantically to try and free himself, and nearly succeeds, but his sword arm sticks in one section of the netting...
...as the cocky frost giant is hit heavy on the head by Alus, and then collapses under the withering barrage of eldritch blasts, falling forward right on top of Derrikoth and Josephus!
(Josephus & Derrikoth, please make a DC 17 Dexterity Save or take 10 bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone).
The other giants, seeing this, let out thunderous roars of outrage and disbelief! They charge in, covering an incredible amount of distance as their legs pound the earth underneath them. They are 100 feet out and closing on you, what do you do?
Nirzeg continues his calm stride towards the recently fallen giant, and just clicks his tongue after a while. "Luck had to run out eventually, I suppose. Makes the investments almost not worth it." He says aloud to noone in particularly. Wickerman double backs to alight atop a shoulder, and hisses at the approaching giants. "I know. But first-..."He draws his sword and ignites the blade while approaching a still bound Derrikoth. "Business first. Oh Big D! Do be a dear, and try very Hard not to squirm too much."He says, and with Wickerman's help tries to cut a weak spot free.
Between the vibrating AND burning blade, the net is made short work of. "C'mon, Big D. Time to put on a show for those other Giants, least they get any ideas of further conflict, eh?"He says, gesturing over to them with his head, and then offering a hand to the Dragonborn.
That’s one down, Genevieve thinks, taking a quick account of how everyone else looked in terms of health. “You’ve looked better, Astra!” She comments, lacing her words with magical properties at an attempt to get her to be fully functional (or mostly functional).

Derrikoth shrieks as Nirzeg approaches with flaming longsword but lets out a sigh of relief when he merely cuts through the net and not his flesh. Josephus heads full gallop towards the nearest frost giant, positioning so that all three are in a straight line. Derrikoth then lets out a mighty belch of lightning towards both giants (12 lightning, DC 14 dex save for half)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Alus stands his ground alongside Derrikoth and Nirzeg, feeling an inadvisable level of confidence after landing a killing blow. He calls out to the advancing giants in a confident, booming tone.
"Big blue brothers; relax. We are all children under Valkur's graceful winds. There is no need for further violence. But know this--the Captain of the Waves will rain the gnarliest of wraths on you if these neggy vibes persist!"
As he speaks, the wind kicks up around Alus and his eyes go white. He seems to almost levitate off the ground as the sky around him blackens. Cracks of lightning and bellows of thunder begin to gather. Then KASHOOOOOOM--a bolt of lightning rips through the sky and onto the left-most giant.
---------
ACTION: Call Lightning DC14 DEX save, if a fail, will use Channel Divinity to max damage to 30 Lightning Damage, if a success, will take half of 25 (without using Channel Divinity).
BONUS ACTION: Spiritual Weapon attack against the left-most frost giant if in range (using 20ft of weapon's movement if need be). Attack: 11 Damage: 18
Astra's eldritch blast strikes the giant once for a decent hit, but it dodges the other one and keeps trucking.
Alus' spiritual weapon doesn't quite have the speed to catch up with the giants, but it moves steadily towards them, while Derrikoth fast outpaces it, coming across the left giant and breathing a stream of electrical energy at him! The giant, who is also in the radius when Alus' lighting strikes, takes a jolting turn towards Derrikoth and, unhitching his axe from its belt with surprising ease, he strikes one, two times at the dragonborn!
First Axe Attack: 28 Damage: 29 slashing Second Axe Attack: 20 Damage: 21 slashing
The giant on the right pulls a small cow from his bag and, moving within 60 feet of Genevieve, decides to throw it at her. The poor creature lows loudly as it hurtles through the air...
Genny attacked with a cow: 15 Damage: 40 bludegoning

Left Giant Dex Save 13
(Channel Divinity is good!)
The giant is struck by a full blast of lighting, which arcs over his body. It would have been enough to kill someone of Alus' size, but it leaves the giant only moderately singed.
Genevieve was taken aback at the animal being thrown at her, throwing back a worried glance over at the poor animals body when it crashed into the ground. “Sorry, moo cow.” She says solemnly before turning back to big and ugly. “You’re lucky you’re not my target yet.” She seethes in giant then runs forward to join the assault on the giant on the left and casts Faerie Fire.

The blasts strike the giant hard, two hard blasts in the torso, and it spits blood. “You are MINE, weakling,” says the giant in his native tongue, “as soon as I finish with this one.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nirzeg sighs and sheathes his sword. "Not exactly the end preferred, but it will have to do." The gith snaps his fingers and and slips another death ray producer into hand and fires it at Derri's giant without breaking his stride after Derrikoth. "Get the other's attention, won't you wickerman?"He adds, and in his wake, the floating death machine spits out some hot fire the second giant's way. Whether by intention or happenstance, both in the end wind-up in the path of the second, cow tipping chucking giant.
