Another idea occurred to me. Let's give Goran some bombs (buff him up) and have him throw them at Butarg. There's a 66% chance to hit and a 44% chance to paralyze. So, in reality, there's a 29% chance to paralyze Butarg. Relying on this is naive, but it won't hurt to try.

-So, guys, shall I give you a tour of Glineos? - Delly asked his companions with a smirk. -Completely free, by the way! Of course, a lot has changed here... So, what do you say, my dear?
-I... I don't know. - Being in Heckelia brought back unpleasant memories for Kataviana. -I once wanted to visit the library, but now...
-Excellent idea! What could be better than books and scrolls? - the Celian interrupted her. -And you, Relhiras?
-I don't care. - the Visterian said coldly.
-Well, as you wish. - Delly waved his hand. -Then let's go to the library!

If we fight, the characters will act as follows:
Butargo Slayers: Jert, Relhiras, Kataviana, Gunnar, Min (disabling shot), Ilza (JUST IN CASE), Sigurd, Emma (mirror)
Deal with fodder: Reinhild, Alicia, Stefan, Thorir, Goran, Min (after upgrading the shot), Klyk
Supports: Asmund, Mironega, Aldric, DELIY, Emma (?)

This is one of the options, but we need to assess the situation.
As I said, I can solo the boss if I'm not focused and surrounded by minions.

As I said, I can solo the boss if I'm not focused and surrounded by minions.

Meanwhile, the boss will be killing the less agile players, or he'll run out into the street.

We don't have anyone faster. Except for Aldric, of course, he's a challenge.

Aldric, Del, Emma, Asmund, Jert, Goran, Ilsa, Gunnar, Mironega, and Sigurd. Asmund only has three speed. And if he is killed, the rest of the heroes on the list will also be reduced to that level.

Then, let's go to the library!

In the Great Library of Glyneos, visitors discovered an unimaginable number of different books and a huge number of people engaged in reading. The silence that reigned inside suggested that noise was not welcome here.
Among the items that could be useful in a mercenary's profession were materials dedicated to magic, as well as several interesting books.

In theory, we can buy a book and have either Goran, Kataviana, or Relhiras read it. The first will learn slowing shots and reduce the speed of the Jirovik to a crawl. The second will learn instant-kill magic and buff Goran with it (good accuracy and lots of attacks). The third will learn demonic strikes and obliterate the boss. Or, as an alternative, we can give the book to Min. Then, we'll give potions to both Relhiras and Kataviana. But that's risky, and we won't be able to buff Goran much.

Oh, that GM who pops up at 4 AM when everyone is already asleep.

The swift Relkhiras deals 6 attacks for 445 damage. (percentage damage is doubled on a critical hit, but reduced by armor). He needs 5 hits to kill Burtarg.

Added 9 minutes later
There's also an option with a scroll of shock and Relkhiras. With his accuracy, paralysis is almost guaranteed. However, if the paralysis wears off by Burtarg's turn, this option becomes quite peculiar. They both have very good initiative.

Added 54 seconds later
Oh, right, his accuracy will be lower there too. I forgot that he's only this skilled with swords. Then, if you're going to use a scroll, it's better to give it to Goran.

yay, I might be useful

After a character's health drops to zero, they can continue to act for three turns.

Actually, if I were given 1 gold coin from the common fund, I would gladly buy such a thing. Although winged boots also look pretty good.

We will massage Jert and berserkers.

If he had listened to his mother and stayed home, a young bride would be massaging him instead of his grandmother right now.

Unfortunately, for the upcoming quest, such a reward doesn't seem very useful. As I already wrote, cloaks, scrolls, and books look much better.

Added 2 minutes later
I would suggest that we all chip in to buy a book. We can see how much money we have afterwards. I'm not sure if we currently have access to the treasury.

I'm ready to invest my share/money/whatever in the book.

/ So that Goran would teach the slowdown skill. Sounds ideal. /
