The troll attacking Astra (Troll 2) takes two hard hits from Genny, then sneezes as Nirzeg’s cloud of sleepiness descends on it, and falls over, unconscious. Astra can see its wounds begin to close before her eyes.
Troll 1 is hit with furious attacks from Derrikoth, and black blood runs from two deep cuts in its torso. Still it fights on, lashing out furiously at the Dragonborn as if it hardly feels the pain.
"Of course it is-..."Nirzeg mutters, and then aloud says, "Just focus on the conscious one! My spell will keep it's friend sedated long enough! Wickerman! Zeek! Help them out!"Having said all that, Nirzeg rushes to the unconscious Troll's side to drag it away out of the fray. Though if it looks as if he'd need some magical assistance, he'll break out more powder and grow to troll size himself!
Bonus Action: Wickerman Casts Fire Spit Attack! Attack: 20 Damage: 8 on Troll 1.
Action: Nirzeg Casts Enlarge on Self(if needed). If not, he will "grapple" and drag the unconscious troll as far away as he can.

“Regeneration? These things just got more annoying.” Genny seethes, and needs to Nirzeg’s instruction and leaves the unconscious troll alone. She moves the hex on the one that’s alive, points her finger and casts Dissonant Whispers!
Wis save 15 or take 14 ( +Hex 2 ) psychic damage and use it’s reaction to run away from Genny, half of a successful save, and he doesn’t move.

Troll save 4
The troll, first speared by Alus, then catches fire from Wickerman's spittle! He howls in pain and tries to break away from Genny!
(Strength check to try and get away from Derrikoth, 8. Derrikoth can roll an opposed check. If the troll is successful, it will run away and Derrikoth can make an opportunity attack!)
Astra’s sword frees the foul troll’s head from its shoulders—the first swing loosens it, and the second takes it clean off. The troll’s skin, still charred and burning from Wickerman’s breath, doesn’t regenerate.
The other troll snores horribly, healing all the while; he looks hardly damaged at all now.
Nirzeg clicks his tongue after seeing the Dragonborn rushes off, only to quickly brush aside ill-feelings remembering the prize at his feet. Acting quickly now, he tries to scoop up as much troll blood still dribbling or has yet to dry off his prize into what few spare alchemist vials he had on hand. Though throughout the process, the wizard couldn't help but absently study the creature, reminded at times of one half-read entry in volo's guide in the moment.
If he could just figure out what piece he could snip off that could regenerate, and yet remain easily contained for future study...
"Focus, Nirzeg. Wickerman. Salve me. The rest of you, uhm, I need at least two of you stand by. Just in case. Once I'm done, this one needs to be disposed of quickly. Though -- THOUGH one of you should be ready to intercept any locals. That thundering has no doubt awoken quite a few by now, and we don't won't any needless injuries now do we?" He says frantically, and without turning from his studying of the Troll. In the meantime, Wickerman is back in his hair, spitting and slathering some more goop into the Githyanki's hair, making his eyes dilate to saucer plates.
"Thhhaaat's the stuff!"
Arcana: 21(adv. from Inspiration Salve). Plus Guidance: 1.
(Main goal is to learn about trolls, and how viable it is to harvest parts. If Nature, it is +3 instead. And if I need a separate survival roll for trying to collect any blood while it is unconscious: 5. Plus Guidance(?!): 1. )
(Forgot inspiration salve lasts an hour, and can go to checks equal to Nirz's Int Mod!: 11)
Nirzeg realizes that, though he isn't an expert on troll biology, it seems that its skin is all regenerating at roughly the same rate. Presumably, any cut of its rubbery skin would suffice for study.
Derrikoth enters the stables to find Josephus alarmed, but unharmed.
You see a few torches approaching in the distance, and loud voices shouting indistinctly to each other.
Alus shouts to the approaching masses: "Friends, children of Valkur, please--keep a safe distance! The stables were under attack by two invading trolls, but we--the heroes of Triboar--have the situation totally under control. One troll has been killed, the other is snoozing and will be dead soon. The last thing we want is to risk any harm to any of you dudes, so please remain chill, stand back, and this will all be over soon. We will make sure no harm comes to the horses either."
Nirzeg curses underbreathe. "Okay. This might get a little messy. But I think I have it. I just.. need... a sample.. a slice... okay. Carefully contained. Mm. Mn! Yes."Nirzeg licks his lips as he slowly digs out what almost looks like a scalpel from one of his tool kit pouches. "Rest of you? Rest of you! Be.. be ready, yes! You too, wickerman! Didn't like fire. A clue, perhaps. Hm. Hm! You all ready!"
He looks sharply back at everyone else with mad scientist gleam in his eyes. Soon as they were ready, Nirzeg begins to make the slice following pointing to his head, and discharging some arcane and electrical energy into it.

Derrikoth briefly pets Josephus on the nose, talking to his horse, "Thank god, I wouldn't know what to do if I lost you. You're the last one, after all."
He walks back over to Nirzeg, doing the same as Astra, "Whatever you're doing, I really hope we get to kill this troll soon."
The troll jerks awake as soon as Nirzeg's knife cuts into its skin, and pulls away from Nirzeg! Its finger comes off as it pulls viciously against the scalpel, and it rears back to strike at Nirzeg.
(Ready action: Astra and Derrikoth can use their reactions to each make an attack!)

Alus looks to his companions.
"The ladies and Derri can probs deal the most pain quickly, I think. I will try and deal with any townspeople."
[Depending on how many turns pass, Alus will cast the following spells, in this order:
Healing Word at second level on Derrikoth. 5
Shield of Faith on Derrikoth, dropping concentration on Bless. Derri now has +2 AC]
"Big Blue maybe you stay up close with Nirz, and the ladies a bit farther back for some blasting!"
