Unfortunately, both Fixpack and UB working on Nilthiri cause her to be unkillable. That aside, UB does have some slight bugs in its implementation here: Nilthiri is assigned scripts to force her to fall down and be killed by fire/acid, like other trolls. However, she isn't assigned an item to prevent her from dying, so it's improbable that she'll fall down and play dead. If it does happen and the party doesn't finish her off, she'll pop back up blue-circled and may try to re-initiate dialogue. edit: I stand corrected. UB adds scripting to make her hostile and skip trying to initiate dialogue, but there's still a brief hesitation when she's blue-circled. I'd suggest replacing the existing code:
with this, lifted and modified from Fixpack:
It's definitely longer as it was written for multiple trolls, but it'll work just dandy. If Fixpack is detected it won't change anything.
