Derrikoth takes the first blow like a champ, with tears beginning to form out of the corners of his eyes. The second, however, unseats him completely, sending him cartwheeling to the ground.
As he’s bolstered by both Alus and Cherri’s magic, he gets to his feet slowly and remounts Josephus, half bent over in the saddle before swinging his longsword weakly at the giant in front of him.
Nirzeg finally hits something vital with his "death ray," causing the leftmost giant some considerable nausea. Then, Derrikoth's longsword bites into the poisoned giant's arm, as the giant makes more attempts to connect his axe with the dragonborn's skull.
The frost giant yells in frustration, his attacks coming too slowly and weakly.
The cow, which tumbled several yards after missing Genny, moos pitifully, unable to get up. It likely has several broken bones at least, and it obviously in pain.
The giant on the right receives some of the fire spittle from Wickerman, but ignores the pain and charges forward, first making for the homunculus, and then for the wizard himself.
Attacking Wickerman...: 25 Damage: 16 slashing
Another attack against WIckerman: 16 Damage: 14 slashing
Downing the firey creature, the giant moves toward Nirzeg with malice in his eyes.
Action: Call Lightning on same target. DC14 Dex save, if fail will use Channel Divinity and he will suffer 30 lightning damage. If success, will take half of 18 lightning damage.
Movement: 30ft towards Derri and the giant
Bonus: Move my Spiritual Weapon along with us attacking the giant on the right. 10 to hit, 14 force damage.
"MY SON! NOOO!"Nirzegs scowls at the giant as he draws a longsword once more. "You. Will. Pay for that you oversized MONGREL!!" He shouts, flourishing the blade, stepping forth in one direction, only for all three Gith to phase out of existence.
In another moment, he re-appears charging forth for Derri's Giant for a hard swipe that -- hit or miss -- seems to off balance him enough to drop his sword.
Bonus Action: Nirzeg teleports 30ft closer to the Derri's Giant.
Action: Nirzeg Casts Scorching Sky Cleaver Attack: 22 Damage: 11 of Slashing, Fire, AND Thunder!
And if the target moves, they take an additional 8 Thunder Damage.

The frost giant takes another full-power lightning blast from Alus, followed immediately by a thunderous boom from Nirzeg, and even though he seems to be recovering from the earlier poison, he isn’t looking too good.

Derrikoth gives Alus a weak thumbs up and smile with his sword hand, ”I appreciate... your concern... you guys are... pretty nice...” before swinging his longsword twice at the giant as Josephus rears his legs and neighs aggressively at the giant.
Genevieve hit the frost giant hard in the back, staggering him to such a degree that Derrikoth is able to slice once, twice, across the giant’s belly from horseback.
He falls, bowels eviscerated, in a mighty thud that shakes the ground.
Nirzeg, please make a DC 17 Strength or Dexterity check, or be knocked prone by the falling giant.
(Yes, sorry, I meant save not check, but you passed anyway)
The third giant, having only just thrown a cow several seconds earlier, looks from group to group of heroes, as if he can’t quite believe how things have transpired.
Seeing the other giant fall, Genevieve grew confident in this groups capabilities. Maybe stepping in wasn’t such a bad idea, she thinks just before one of Nirzeg’s images ate a greataxe to the face. The construct winces, “... Ouch.” Then turns to the ugly. “Attack me instead, you— UNCULTURED SWINE.”
She tries another Faerie Fire! Dex save 15 and we already know what the spell does!

Alus’ weapon is en route, the giant having moved beyond its range with its great strides. Assuming the giant stays close, the spiritual weapon will be in range next round.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Derrikoth, still delirious from the beatings he’s taken, mumbles absentmindedly under his breath as he hears Astra, “...ye... ah... well...” and flails with his longsword in the general direction of the last giant as Josephus moves him into position, compensating for his master’s lack of coherence with well timed pivoting.
"You just don't learn, do you, Geki? Very well then." He reach out to the side, he draws back the shattered, shadowy essence of his last destroyed image, forming a wicked CURVED sword. "Have a taste of your own medicine!" He decrees, leaping up to slash across the foot. Though no blood is drawn even upon contact, the impression left deceives the mind into making it an internal reality!

Alus turns towards the remaining giant and extends a hand towards it, lightning arcing from finger to finger like impulses across synapses.
"Last chance, big blue. Leave what you stole and ride the winds out of here, or the storm is coming your way next."

Astra’s bolts fly past the last giant as it leaps into action, running toward Nirzeg to cleave the spellcaster apart with his greataxe!
Attacking Nirzeg: 28 Damage: 32 slashing
And again... 10 Damage: 32 slashing
The giant roars in Nirzeg’s face, a thundering, almost animalistic cry.
