I love this buildup. Well constructed!

In CoP there is an description of a combat where a Yelmalio priest attempted to
reenact a situation from the GodTime so that he could remain married to his
wife. It seems that the victors were entitled to his property and their lives.
In an analogous event truly taking place in the GodTime, I would guess that the
victors would be allowed their lives and freedom, as well as some spiritual
power (like a one-use divine spell or temporary ability) related to the powers
of the being defeated. Thus, gods get aspects of power normally associated
with the vanquished (Zorak Zoran's use of fire, gained when he defeated
Yelmalio, etc.), heros get abilities that they can use in their schemes, etc.
I would say you should give the players some power related to the troll
shaman's strength, such as one of his spells, one of his spirits, or even a
one-use fetch (thus allowing them to become involved with another GodTime/Hero
Plane plot). I would hesitate to give them something permanent, but then most
of the gamers here would abuse any such reward. You know your own players
best.
