Kaylyn easily retraces the path back to the north where they reach the bridges to cross the water. She then leads the others two towards the inn to await the others.
Zeno holsters his weapon and sprints toward the battle, drawing his colichemarde as he does. He parkour leaps off of some crates, up and toward the giant’s back, slashing across and three-point landing on the other side of the giant. (Still in melee, more flavor than mechanical.)

With Selune's blessing upon him, Zeno executes some impressive acrobatics to cross the distance to the giant, but the stony hide is just too tough for Zeno's strike. From his hiding place, Sarith's voice can be heard muttering a spell in the drow dialect of Undercommon, and a shimmering light appears in the air above the giant, who promptly swats it away. Sekkar speaks a word of power which Dawnbringer gleefully echoes in the lizardman's mind, and together they strike at the giant's midsection, creating a wound in a flash of light. The giant responds by lashing at Sekkar with its fists, but only manages one glancing (albeit painful) blow on Sekkar's shoulder.
The enlarged duergar initially shied away from Dawnbringer's glare, but with the look of experienced soldiers, they quickly regrouped and circled around to the giant's far side. The three guards acted in military precision, with Gorlak hammering hard into the giant's knee, pulverising it like shale. The spider-mounted dwarf struggles to turn in the sadle for an effective blow, but the heavily-armoured duergar unleashes a blaze of flame from his lance that engulfs one of the giant's faces.
Joetaro, Kastix, Kaylyn:
Making their way back through the city toward the docks (Kaylyn seems to remember the landmarks well enough), their path is suddenly crossed by a running stone giant. The ground shakes with each heavy footfall as it ploughs desperately toward the docks, seemingly in a hurry. The sounds of distant battle can be heard from the direction in which the giant is running. (This is a normal-looking giant, with just one head)
"We leave them for a few hours!" Kastix shouts as he move a t ginger pace behind Kaylyn.

ALL back on the same narrative now:
Joetaro, Kastix and Kaylyn have to run hard to keep up with the giant, but as they pass through the gate into the Darklake District, they see the giant running toward another giant! - this one with two heads and in violent combat with several duergar, and Sekkar, Zeno and Rhayna, all about 100 feet away.
The crazed giant apparently still has enough of its wits to mentally avoid the effects of Rhayna's two ghostly books smashing one into each of the giant's heads. It dodges out of the way of Sekkar's blazing sword, but fails to see Zeno stabbing at its feet, and one head howls in rage as the other looks down and snarls at the rogue. Seemingly acting independently, one fist thumps down and strikes at Zeno, while the other again lashes out at the wielder of the bright blade, both fists connecting with their targets.
The duergar spider-rider seems to have found his seat, and he stabs down hard into the back of one of the giant's head, making its eyes roll back and its tongue stick out. Another gout of flame from the lance but the giant seems to have been expecting it and swats the end of the lance aside with no harm. Gorlak and the junior guardsdwarf also strike hard with their hammers, bringing the giant to its knees.
The two-headed giant appears to be very severely wounded. Sekkar, Zeno and Rhayna, you can also see the second giant approaching and it is yelling and waving its arms.
Kastix casts Message on Zeno, "What's going on and who should we hit?"

Rhayna: Actually, the spell description says "each humanoid", so I don't think the giant would be affected. You could make the duergar roll a saving throw, and Sekkar/Zeno could choose to fail... let me know if you want to continue with this or try something else.

Zeno envisions himself replying, “We’re all fine here thanks...how are you...?”
But he actually replies, holding his sword ready to strike again at Rhayna’s word, “Don’t know. Assassins, murder, angry two-headed giants...seems par for the course for the underdark so far. Hold fire and wait to see what happens with the newcomer.”
It is highly unlikely that coldblooded (literally) Sekkar would even notice the spell - he has no strong emotious toward the giant, but follows the dwarves (they should know who to attack in their city, right?) as he feels the true dragonborn would, nothing else.
Seeing the 2 headed giant attacking her compatriots she readies her magic and if it attacks one of her comrades again she'll send the blast of Eldritch energy at it.
