Felix swings one arm out between Ghwerek and various parties that may or may not be hidden somewhere behind them to indicate they don't take any immediate action. As he does so he backs away several quick steps and, pulling out a holstered handgun, initiates several experimental discharges at the soil to see if his gun will fire.
No point committing to something that will fail from the start.

Arkady takes the free tag on 'distracted', and tazes Ghwerek. If nothing else it'll help the knights.
"Electricity still works. Taze him to help the knights."
And hopefully our own resident deity decides to help reinvent fire (from cover, of course).

Felix's gun fails to fire.
Any hidden parties that may or may not be around take no action.
Arkady steps up and tazes the charging Troll...
Arkady: Guns: +2 Roll: -3 Total: -1 Ghwerek: Stunt: Brawler: +1 to Fists when used defensively, if outnumbered Stunt: Army Of One: Enemies do not get a bonus to their attacks due to outnumbering you Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Stunt - Brawler: +1 Roll: -1 Total: +5
Ghwerek succeeds by more than +3, and gains one point of Spin! Stunt: Mix It Up: Spin gained on defense may be saved up to use in Ghwerek's next attack, even if there are other intervening actions in the same round
Since Distracted wouldn't turn that into a hit, the free tag is getting automatically moved to where it can help
Ghwerek might not be the best negotiator, but he knows that when an enemy points something at you, it's a very good idea not to be hit by that thing. He twists aside, and though the tazer seems functional, it doesn't do much to empty air.
Then the two Knights swiftly move in, bringing sword and axe to the fight:
Sir Sparhawk: Weapons: +5 Roll: +2 Total: +7 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: +1 Total: +7 Distracted: -2 Total: +5 Ghwerek: OXOOO OOOO
Sir Ulath: Weapons: +4 Roll: +2 Total: +6 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: -1 Total: +5 Ghwerek: XXOOO OOOO
Between them, they stop his charge, but cause no more than minor scratches to the Troll's thick hide. And the Troll has a simple response to having his charge interrupted.
Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Roll: -1 Spin: +1 Total: +5 Sir Ulath: Weapons: +4 Roll: +2 Total: +6
The Troll's response would be a fist to Sir Ulath's face; fortunately, the Knight is no stranger to the art of dodging either, and manages to avoid the blow, turning it aside with his axe.
Ghwerek: Stunt: Trollish Regeneration: Each round, all physical damage (short of a physical Consequence) rolls down one step.
Ghwerek: XOOOO OOOO
Even as the Troll fights, though, the small scratches left in his hide by sword and axe begin to heal...

Seeing that Felix's gun has failed, Roger assumes that his will as well. He reverts to his old plan and flys the drone into Ghwerek's face to be as annoying as possible..
Might as well tag DISTRACTED I guess XD

"Theresa, tasers," Felix says as he pulls out his own makeshift cattle prod. Together the two of them charge forward and attempt to stun Ghwerek.

Arkady tries the tazer again.
"I think if I throw him the player, he'll try to catch it; that'll give us a chance to grab or knock the the Rose from his hand and get it to Sir Sparhawk."

Arkady fires the tazer again...
Arkady: Guns: +2 Roll: -1 Total: +1 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: -3 Total: +3
Ghwerek bobs and weaves around the Knights - Arkady just can't seem to get a clear shot.
While he's trying, though, someone suddenly bursts out of hiding...
Felix: Stealth: +0 Theresa: +4 Roll: +0 Total: +4 Ghwerek: Alertness: +1 Roll: +0 Total: +1
...taking Ghwerek completely by surprise!
With both Felix and Theresa approaching from different angles, it's harder for the Troll to evade their combined assault...
Felix: Guns: +2 Visor: +4 Theresa: +4 Surprise: +2 Roll: +3 Total: +15 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: +2 Total: +8
Ghwerek: XOOOO OXOO
Theresa's shot misses, but forces the troll to duck directly into Felix's shot! Lightning crackles down the wires of his taser, drawing out a pained howwwwwwwwwwwl from Ghwerek - the Troll manages to pull himself loose. It's clear that the taser hurt, but it seems that a Troll can take several hits without slowing down...
Roger flings the drone into the Troll's face...
Roger: Science: +5 Scientific genius (hacking): +2 Roll: +1 Total: +8 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: +4 Total: +10
Spending one FATE point to push up your roll will merely allow you to tie with Ghwerek; in order to have an effect, you need to beat his roll. It might be better to save the FATE point for next round instead
With a wave of his meaty fist, Ghwerek swats the drone aside; it flies some distance through the air before Roger can bring it back under control.
Sir Sparhawk: Weapons: +5 Roll: +1 Total: +6 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: -4 Total: +2 Ghwerek: XOOXO OXOO
Sir Ulath: Weapons: +4 Roll: +3 Total: +7 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: -3 Total: +3 Ghwerek: Stunt: Man (Troll) Of Iron: Physical stress rolls down instead of up Ghwerek: XOXXO OXOO
Ghwerek is badly distracted by the tasers, and both Knights land solid blows on him; his thick, leathery skin doesn't turn aside all the force of these blows. But already his fist is coming back for a reunion...
Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Roll: +3 Total: +8 Sir Ulath: Weapons: +4 Roll: +1 Total: +5
Sir Ulath: OOXOO OO
This time, Sir Ulath doesn't avoid the blow, and Ghwerek's fist slams into his chainmail shirt. He staggers back half a step; but this isn't enough to take out a Knight.
Ghwerek: Regeneration
Ghwerek: OXXOO XOOO
You can still see the troll's skin literally healing as he fights...

Though he suspects he's just whistling Nanotchka, Arkady tries using the taser again.

OOG: We have tranquilizers right? Surely, Sam brought tranqs with us to help with the Seeker right?
Roger goes to find a (pneumatic) gun and tranq darts and proceeds to shoot as many as he can into Ghwerek.
OOG: (If the darts and pneumatic gun require a fate point, so be it.)

Arkady whistles up another taser shot...
Arkady: Guns: +2 Roll: 1 Total: +3 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: -1 Total: +5
There's still no clear shot. If he keeps waiting long enough, he should eventually get a chance... but he has to get his shot exactly right when Ghwerek messes up.
Meanwhile, Theresa does fire, even knowing that she will miss...
Felix: Guns: +2 Visor: +4 Theresa: +4 Roll: -1 Total: +9 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: +1 Total: +7 Ghwerek: Man (Troll) of Iron: Physical stress rolls down
Ghwerek: XXXOO XOOO
...because in dodging her miss, Ghwerek leaves himself open to Felix's shot. He's clearly not exactly happy, but he can take a fair deal of this.
Roger grabs a sedative rifle from the truck and fires a dart...
Roger: Guns: +2 Roll: -2 Total: +0 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: +0 Total: +6 Defense with spin
Roger doesn't even get close.
...is this even the right dosage for a Troll? A Troll filled with adrenaline because he's mid-combat?
...you're probably going to need multiple shots.
But the Knights are still there:
Sir Sparhawk: Weapons: +5 Roll: -1 Total: +4 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: +1 Total: +7 Defense with spin (again) Ghwerek: XXXOO XOOO
Sir Ulath: Weapons: +4 Roll: -1 Total: +3 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: 0 Total: +6 A third point of spin! Ghwerek: XXXOO XOOO
Ghwerek ducks between sword and axe, managing to dodge in such a way that the two Knights get their weapons in each other's way... and then strikes before they've managed to pull them apart again...
Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Spin: +3 Roll: -2 Total: +6 Sir Ulath: Weapons: +4 Roll: -2 Total: +2
Sir Ulath: OOXXO OO
Again, Sir Ulath gets a serious thump.
Ghwerek: Regeneration
Ghwerek: XXOOX OOOO

Roger will keep firing until he is out of ammo. He will also try to pick up darts he has already missed with...

Felix and Theresa continue the assault with the tazers.
"Are there any legends about trolls? Any weaknesses that get around the regeneration?"

Since there's not much Arkady can do to improve his taser right now, he simply tries again. If Felix can't come up with anything, he can always try throwing the troll the tunes.

Seriously contemplating what he can do with the music player, Arkady looks for a shot...
Arkady: Guns: +2 Roll: +0 Total: +2 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: +1 Total: +7 Defense with spin!
For a moment, Arkady think he sees a shot, and he takes it!
...and misses.
Meanwhile, Theresa fires a shot of her own:
Felix: Guns: +2 Visor: +4 Theresa: +4 Roll: -1 Total: +9 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: -3 Total: +3
Ghwerek: XXOOX XOOO
...this time, Gwerek dodges Felix's shot, and is hit by Theresa. From his roar, he's decidedly not happy with this state of affairs.
Roger fires another dart
Roger: Guns: +2 Roll: -1 Total: +1 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: -1 Total: +5 Defense with spin
Roger's dart plinks off the horn of Sir Ulath's helmet.
Sir Sparhawk: Weapons: +5 Roll: +1 Total: +6 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: -2 Total: +4 Ghwerek: XXOXX XOOO
Sir Ulath: Weapons: +4 Roll: -1 Total: +3 Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Brawler: +1 Roll: +1 Total: +7 Defense with spin! Ghwerek: XXOXX XOOO
Sir Ulath ducks beneath Arkady's taser shot, and Roger's dart plinks off his helmet, harmless except for the slightest instant of distraction -
Ghwerek: Fists: +5 Spin: +3 Roll: +0 Total: +8 Sir Ulath: Weapons: +4 Roll: +1 Total: +5
Sir Ulath: OOXXX OO
...and the Troll's fist catches him again.
Ghwerek: Regeneration
Ghwerek: XOXXX OOOO
