A Trilobite Beetle climbs up next to them, stopping just far enough to be safe from being crushed.
Max tries to pick up the beetle. His hands are wet.
Thankfully it likes moist places and cuddles up to his palm, trying to dig in to it but only tickling Max.
Max giggles. “Hey little thing.” He casts Speak With Animals on the beetle.
The spell immediately registers and it turns its face to Max's. "Giant cries? Why?"
“My friends… they’re fighting. I don’t want any of them to die…”
"Giants... die?"
“Yeah. It’s not as easy as it is for you poor things, but it does happen and I don’t want it to happen…”
"What giants do when dead?"
“No idea… usually, Unholy Beings would reform. But I don’t think Malrick will reform…”
"Why not stop giants? All giants strong. You are giant."
“Yeah. Maybe I should… but I fear it’s too late.”
"If it too late, why still fighting? If too late, giant died."
“They’re probably not dead yet. I have to stop this…” Max holds the beetle in his hand and starts running towards the fight.
The beetle clings tightly to their palm. "Do giants have name? I called Kreet."
“Max. Hi Kreet!”
"Hi Max. Who are giants who fight?"
“Correlion and Malrick. I like them both. But they hate each other…”
"Did one take food? Giants need food? Never see giants eat."
“Giants do need food.” He says, laughing a bit. “But that’s not what happened. I don’t really get it.” He saddens.
"Kreet can ask for Max. Kreet is good at words."
“Can you speak human?”
"What that?"
“Well, I’m speaking bug right now. Can you speak giant?”

Correlion flies down 100 ft until he's 140 ft down (if we're being really technical with the frightened movement, Correlion moves 5 ft to the right to be out of line of sight and then moves 100 ft down). How much burrow speed does he have? Correlion then shoots twice.
Attack: 25 Damage: 27 If that hits, Attack: 30 Damage: 36
*Nope, line of sight is for the disadvantage. You can't willingly move closer to Malrick.*
Malrick is far beneath the earth, he breathes heavily with exertion.
*Then Correlion misty steps as a bonus action to be within range, and then makes its first attack.*
*Since your 240 feet up in the air being 30 feet down would still be out of range. He has 30 burrow speed and he's dashing.*
Malrick begins to tunnel sideways, collapsing the entrance to his mini cave on his way.

Okay, then on the turn that Malrick starts burrowing, Correlion drops the metal cube it's holding into the hole. It then moves 100 ft diagonally downwards, not towards Malrick, and then misty steps 30 ft to get back within a sightline. Then it shoots once, Attack: 25 Damage: 27

Ok, It doesn't matter last attack misses. Malrick, extremely wounded, looks up at Correlion with pain, and fear in his eyes. He is not giving up yet though, he begins to smash his way through the earth, burying himself.
*We're here right now, on my turn after you took this one.*

The metal cube plummets straight down and strikes into the freshly turned earth with a clank. A tentacle, akin to that of a giant squid, and complete with vicious hooks, smashes open the tiny door and lashes out at the nearby rock, splintering it and dragging the compressed bone and muscle of Bludspiter from its resting place. It drags ten times the breath of a man through the gaping rent in its chest, inflating it to its usual terrifying stature. The disc of muscle, edged by serrated fangs, begins to spin at high speed as the creature fixates on Malrick. It has no eyes and nothing to fear from the dark, and it is hungry for meat - and Malrick happens to be tantalisingly close.
*Oh, by the way, if you're in a big fight you definitely have to pick a song that's playing in the background. That way we can get the right ambience while reading about it.
*By the way, everyone, I Googled it and now have a Trilobite Beetle statblock made. A bit of a tangent, sure, but I'm glad I did it.*
