Spoiler:

This episode starts partway through Volume 6, Chapter 2, and goes through Chapter 3:

Part of the reason that they took Wizard Boy on was because the veterans believed he needed more experience and he might have some potential that just needs polishing.
The reason that the party before them died was really bad luck combined with a bad decision. They had their gear, had some experience despite being novices, and even kept their formation up. Truth, one of the over gods, just wanted to kill a party that day.
The Warrior Priest was a woman in service to the Goddess Valkyrie. The scout was a Dark Elf who chose to be on the side of good rather than evil. The Acolyte Cleric worshipped the Trade God.
Even after discovering the Troll, they had the chance to run, but the General acting as their leader felt positive about their chances since they had a means of getting around its regeneration with Fire. He had the front row intercept the Troll and the Cleric to buff them, but ordered the Thief to get ready for a Sneak Attack rather than guard the rear. Goblins immediately killed the General from behind and they got swarmed since they didn't block the door because that would have cut off their escape path.
The Dark Elf died second. He recognized he was stabbed with a poisoned dagger and went for an Antidote, at which point they swarmed him and tore him to pieces.
The Lizard Warrior died next, hearing the Acolyte scream and turning his attention back to her since he was in love with her. He got his brains crushed by the Troll, only able to lament it wouldn't eat his heart as is tradition for powerful warriors.
The Warrior Priest died last, shoving Acolyte out of the way so she didn't get killed as she rushed over to Lizard Warrior and took the club in her place, resulting in her getting splattered.
The Goblins proceeded to have the Troll break Acolyte's leg after she wet herself, intent on taking her prisoner for obvious reasons.
One of the prostitutes at the building camp was an Elf dressed in very revealing clothing, much to High Elf Archer's horror. Priestess was just glad that GS wasn't paying attention to the woman, for obvious reasons.
The Dwarf leading the construction was an important member of the Carpenter's Guild. It was during this discussion that GS made it clear Priestess was leading, but if there was an emergency he was taking over.
Priestess ruminates after hearing him mention his past she didn't know much about him, despite them being together for a year.
Priestess also asks if the Dwarf had any potions he could spare, and that they would pay for them. They had prepared ahead of time, but she wanted extras just in case.
To elaborate more on roles, GS and Lizard Priest serve as the front-row of the group and so they need to be able to work out a strategy ahead of time. Normally, Priestess handles making sure they have all their equipment and the logistics as the back-row.
For her formation had GS and High Elf Archer in the front, with Lizard Priest and Dwarf Shaman in the back. If they were attacked from the front, Lizard Priest and High Elf Archer could switch places easily. If they were attacked from behind, GS and Dwarf Shaman could do the same. She refused to put herself or Wizard Boy in the back row since they would get targeted too easily.
The pouches the girls had were perfume pouches, meant to cover their scent. They only had two, while the others had old clothes that already had the scent, which is why the boy had to be covered in goblin blood.
What fell out of that trap were the remains of Warrior Priest, her hand and arm so thoroughly minced they looked like they had been put through a meat grinder. The shock factor was meant to get any adventurer who came across it to scream, which acted as an alert for the Goblins.
They then tortured the Acolyte in order to draw them into the room. Specifically, they had been using a stone axe to cut off her fingers.
Wizard Boy only had a single use of his spells per day, and he wasted it on that Fire Bolt on a single goblin. So even though he knew that he could have used it to help deal with the troll, he realized he wasted it and should have listened to the others when they tried to warn him. He figured with his last act while alive, he could warn them not to fall into the trap as well.
They also grabbed her fingers with the hopes that they could reattach them if everything went well.
The reason the Troll's body broke was because when someone tried to get rid of a giant rock, they would heat it up very hot and then cool it down quickly. Since Trolls have rock-like bodies or were said to turn into stone in sunlight, he used Saltpeter to absorb the water and heat quicker, making it happen rapidly enough that its body basically started shattering.
Goblin Slayer shoving someone was so out of the ordinary that Spearman knew something was wrong.
