Psycho casts Mind Thrust on red.
damage Mind Thrust 3 - Spell Specialization:12d8 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 7, 6, 5, 8, 4, 6, 5, 5, 7) = 61 DC 21 will for half
Daedîn's lone readied arrow sails through the empty theater and connects to start the fracas, even before the lamia starts to transform. Psycho goes straight for the ventriloquist's mind and he wails in agony, nearly dropping the wire-frame controls that help guide the puppet next to him.
Elaria laughs dismissively as Sihir tries to infect her powerful mind with his mere child's nightmare.
Leosa slips quickly into the seats behind the directorial pair, while Not-Trixie lights up the stage with glitter. Vendalfek's played card causes the lamia matriarch to glow faintly and Leosa's drawn scimitar and Daedîn's bow flash a similar brightness. River finishes with a cascade of mud that fills the front half of the theater.

"Will you fall already!" says Psycho to red and casts again.

River would try to recall details about damage reduction, energy resistances, special attacks and their weakest save
Besides the wisdom drain on her attacks, a lamia matriarch can cast spells as a sorcerer (including those from the cleric list).
Weakest save is Fortitude.
Red Will:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Psycho forces more anguish into the ventriloquist's mind, but he resists this time, aided by his dummy who shakes and screams "NO!!!" and siphons off some of the pain upon himself.
With a flick of her wrist, Eliara negates even the Shadow Master's flames. Lamont and Leosa combine to harry the summoner pair, but the ventriloquist uses his free arm to stretch and attack the shadow as he arrives. Although the dummy dodges while casting, he is solidly hit by her back-swing.
Eliara completes her transformation and screams "Destroy the mud-slinger!" The ventriloquist swings wildly at the shadow before him. Another cockatrice flies from behind the curtain, quickly finding River and streaking to him to nip at his ankle. Need Fort Save - see below

Fortitude:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
On being bitten, River activates the frigid touch spell stored in his armour. As an immediate action
The staggered effect will run out before it's next turn but it does at least take Cold damage:4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 5) = 19
He then flies back a few feet to escape it's petrifying bite and calls for the spirits of the storm to aid him.
Five foot fly back (his fly bonus with the hex is +14 so I think he's ok for taking damage and hovering) cast call lightning storm targeting the cocatrice
Not-Trixie pulls out her trusty licorice root, breaking off yet another piece. At least I'm getting good use from this - though I think I'll need to get more when we're back on the Material plane!
Casting haste - should affect Daedîn, Leosa, and Lamont.
Not-Trixie speeds up the warriors as her dragon casts another card to the fates. This time, the two remaining cockatrices glow briefly (with another subtle puff of light visible from behind the curtain).
River's protective ward ices the show-bird, then drops it to the ground with a flash of lightning.
As expected, a fourth cockatrice bursts through the curtains and streaks toward the bird killer, even as his brother shakes off the worst effects of the mud.
In the box office, the grig drops the broken pieces of its fiddle and steps closer to those gathered at the door. As he hovers, he begins to create a jaunty tune with his long cricket legs.
Need a DC 14 Will save from Daedîn, Psycho, Sihir, Not-Trixie, and Vendalfek or be staggered as you dance and caper to the tune. This is a sonic mind-affecting effect.

Daedîn resists the grig's tunes, moves back 5' SE and, a bit reluctantly, fires at the grig till it drops...the lavender cockatrice will be his second target if he has shots left...

The sniper fires his barrage at the streaky fey, but only manages to connect once. It is, however, all that is needed -- and the poor creature falls to the ground with a tiny thud, landing next to his broken fiddle. Effect is broken, will saves not needed now.
The dummy clears the mud from his eyes with his tiny wooden hands.

He doesn't seem to be paying much attention to his own safety as he does this, though, sauntering and stumbling blearily down the front row as he does....

"It is time for a new approach!" Psycho casts missiles into Red.
Psycho casts his missiles into the ventriloquist but the squeals of pain come from the dummy instead as he shakes violently.
Sihir's shadowy monkeys materialize around the matriarch. As they crawl about, they try to snatch one of her rose bouquets but she snaps it away. Raising both bouquets over her head she shouts "Brilliance!" and they instantly transform into great scimitars.
With a crack of thunder, the theater vanishes into a cold night made even colder as your own apparel melts, replaced by Varisian silks.
Driving rain pours down, cascading over the stone dais beneath their feet. Dozens of shadowy figures stand in the distance, laughing and mocking, while eight shadowy figures draw close with ravenous eyes. The dummy and ventriloquist disappear in a haze of similar figures. Akin to mirror image...
From within the blurry void, the ventriloquist lashes out again at Lamont.

It's not likely to be important, but I think the orange cockatrice would normally require two standard actions to clear its slowed condition due to being unable to complete a full-round action in one turn
River continues his careful fluttering back, trying not to let the sudden change in surroundings upset him. If he can still make out this Lamia he will call forth a weapon of his ancestors and direct it at her
Not-Trixie is able to recognize the sudden change of environment as some sort of a programmed image, likely tied to the theater or one of its occupants. With that knowledge, she returns the seats and stage to their present condition and the fight rages on, with River's spiritual weapon striking the first blow.
The mysterious spirits of the conspirators fade into the shadows.
Not sure if Vendalfek wanted an action...

Nah - if Vendalfek's going to take an action, he'll do it right after Not-Trixie. Or right before. But usually after, since she insists on being the boss.
The archer steps forward and fires at the flying cockatrice, dropping it with three well-placed shots, then turning his fourth arrow on the raging diva on stage.

Psycho does the same thing again casts missiles into Red
Once again, the dummy siphons Psycho's pain away from his "master". Sihir's swarm continues to harass the diva and the burst of light doesn't help either. Leosa and Lamont continue to pin down the two directors, but cannot seem to put them away.
@Leosa, you took your AOO, but did you have any other actions?
Clearly enraged by her fortune, the diva casts a spell.
DC 19 Spellcraft:
Divine Favor
The wire-frame controls hanging off his forearm like a tattered cloth, the ventriloquist continues to pummel the shadow, with ever weakening fists.
