"Stay strong, robo-dude!" shouts Alus as he casts Healing Word on Genny. 5 healing.
Then he turns his attention to the Troll Nirzeg just hit. "As for you, stretch--" then he snaps his fingers as a wreath of blue radiant flame detonates around the creature as he casts Sacred Flame. DC14 DEX save or take 13 radiant damage.
After having taken a significant amount of damage (though making it out alive thanks to Astra slaying the creature and Alus' healing), Genevieve makes a point to stay the **** away from the remaining troll and just sends off two shooty shooties.

Astra sees Derrikoth get hit in the face with a giant rock, takes stock of her own lack of spells, and her friend's current condition and makes a reasoned analysis. "Guys, we should get the **** out of here right now."

"I certainly like our odds of getting away much more than I like our odds of fighting that thing right now. Let's go!"Astra uses her action to dash 60 feet away.

Nirzeg grumbles as he watches Astra go running off. "I'll need more for a proper sample. Though more importantly, are the rest of you satisfied with the results?" He asked as he walked over to one of the -- so far -- not totally destroyed Troll mutants, and aimed to hack off a spare limb off the creature to take back. If it looked to be regenerating already, a point is made to use the still burning blade for the hacking, and some swamp muck to keep the whole limb from going up on him.
"That fire giant, as far as I've been able to reconcile, appears adamant in goading trolls to attack the town. Not so unlike Triboar. Possibly in search of a similar piece of Admantine as last, perhaps?" He shrugs. "Even if not the case, while learning of its presence would fulfill our social contract, leaving it be to gather more would not bode well for someone I suspect."

Nirzeg’s greatsword removes the prone troll’s head even as it’s eyes fly open, instantly burning & cauterizing the wounds and halting the regeneration process. The troll is now ready for harvesting.
Alus, similarly, chops off the other troll’s head with a brutal shortsword strike. The troll had sat up as Alus approached, but the body now collapses and the head rolls off to the side.
When Nirzeg asked if they were satisfied, Genevieve, having almost had been rendered unconscious, stares at him and deadpans, “No, not really.” Genny looks to where Astra had run off to, then back to the boys who were severing heads. “What would you propose we do then, Nirzeg? Fight the thing?”

Derrikoth breathes heavily, pieces of stone mixing in with the blood pouring down his face, "I say we come back once we get our hands on that giant slaying sword and show them the what for, but until then we're ill equipped to fight his kind."
Nirzeg doesn't look up from his harvesting, but listened unerringly to the duo. He clicks his tongue. "While I find your faith in a single sword affording you the sort of protection in which we don't all eventually wind-up bloodied in our conflict with giants disturbing."He confesses as he swapped blades while Wickerman started spreading some strange salve in his hair again. "This was a more fact finding job, then anything. So Fall back. We'll be along shortly." A buzzed Nirzeg said offhandedly while hacking off a limb at the base.
As soon as he had his prize in hand, and Alus looked about equally done, he'd send Wickerman over to burn Alus' troll corpse for good measure prior to taking off after the others.

He will remain in melee range with the troll.

The three-armed troll, hit by Alus, is incinerated by the radiant energy, and its rubbery skin blackens to a crisp almost instantaneously.

Genny deals what looks like a fatal blow to the troll and it collapses, as Derrikoth exchanges his sword for his lance and gallops over to the others.
The fire giant moves down from the hills and launches a big rock towards Derrikoth:

"Do we really think we can outrun this guy? He's huge!"
Alus looks down at the unconscious trolls.
"Maybe we should burn these bodies before we bolt, just in case?"

Alus turns to Nirzeg. "Do you need a few seconds to collect whatever it is you want from these gross-dudes?"
