Arista nods to Asariel in acknowledgment, but before she can move, Torban springs to action.

Sorry, I'm on vacation and while I will try to check-in at least daily, I cannot promise that I will always be able to do so. From September 1, I should be back to normal.
Torban runs towards the "chickens" using the reach of his halberd to keep them away. he strikes the first on but misses on a wild swing for the second. They respond by ducking inside his reach, one just pecks his armor, the other gets a little nip of flesh, with no visible ill effects on Torban yet.
The lizard snaps cautiously at Brekka, but is unable to get through the dragonborn's defenses. It's eyes flash green as a cone of energy covers Brekka and those in the center of the clearing.
Asariel, Arista, Brekka, Mathias, please make a Constitution saving throw.
Main party, still in the clearing. Brekka and the lizard, 30ft away. Kaelen, 30 ft to the side. Torban and the cocks, 20 ft. behind.
Arista and Mathias are up first, followed by Round 2 for Asariel, Kaelen, and Brekka.

A sudden wave of petrifying magic washes over Arista, causing her vision to blur and her muscles to tense as if they might turn to stone (Con Save 9). In that moment, she draws upon the icy wellspring of her giant-touched heritage (Con save re-rolled with Heroic Inspiration 10), steeling her will and focusing on Asariel’s encouraging words (Bardic Inspiration adds 3 for a total of CON save 13).
With her heart still pounding, Arista imbues her quarterstaff with a swirl of primal energy (Bonus Action Shillelagh), and she exhales a frosty breath that conjures a shimmering barrier of cold against piercing blows (Action Resistance against piercing damage) around her. Glancing over her shoulder, she spots the twisted, beaked creatures skittering around Torban’s halberd. Recognizing them as cockatrices—nasty pests known to petrify their prey—she moves in alongside him (Arcana 20), lifting her shield to deflect their snapping beaks (Fighting Style: Protection).

Shaking off the effects of the lizard-creature's gaze, Mathias turns his attention to the chicken-like beasts and conjures writhing plant life to erupt from the ground below the creatures, but just shy of Arista and Torban. (Action entangle, DC 13 STR Save)
Having cast his spell, the druid then empowers his staff (Bonus actionshilleglagh) with primal power before moving to help Brekka with the lizard creature. (Stopping 10 ft shy of Brekka so that if the creature decides Mathias's less armored form is more appealing, Brekka will be able to take an AoO)
Breaks begins to visibly start turning to stone, his legs becoming too heavy to move. Brekka is restrained. Brekka must repeat the save at the end of his next turn.
Brekka looks down at the stone encroaching up his legs. He tries to move, his muscles rippling with the effort, but it's no use. But this can't be out it ends.
"The shining might of heroes cannot be dulled!" A bright white glow suffuses him, Asariel and Arista, and they feel the warmth of glory brightening their souls.
He legs feel stonger now and he kicks off the shale that tried to hold him in place.
"Aha!" he yells in triumph.
[[Con save: 15. Casting Bless on himself, Asariel and Arista.]]
The vicious mockery takes hold on the basilisk, hampering its attacks. It hunkers down in place, trying to shake off the fear and regain it's gaze attack to no avail.
Torban swipes at the cockatrices, hitting them both, leaving one near dead..
Everyone is up.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Asariel will try and mock the near dead cockatrice to fully dead. "Your bark is worse than your bite. And I've not even heard you make a sound". DC13 wis save or 4 psychic damage and dis on next attack
[[Apparently my med regime gives me periods of totally lucid time in between being totally wiped out, I place no promises.]]
Kaelen's arrow strikes the basilisk, shattering two of its spines, leaving them oozing a flourescent blue ichor. The things on it's last legs. You know that's bad cause it started with 8.
Asariel's empowered wit causes the cockatrice to die, of embarassment, I suppose.
Arista, Brekka and Mathias are still up.

Brekka slides around to the back of the basilisk, forcing it to choose where it will aim its petrifying breath—on him or his allies. He then lunges forward with his longsword in a forceful strike.
[[Attack: 25 (crit!). Damage: 10 slashing. If that kills it he'll use the rest of his movement to go back towards the cockatrices.]]
Arista nods to Asariel in acknowledgment, but before she can move, Torban springs to action.

The two chicken like beasts are tied up in vines the sprout up through the cracked and broken stones of the plaza.

Con save 13.
(Did you roll the save for vicious mockery last turn? I didn't see any comment about it passing or failing)
Asariel will help with the lizard. "You're so slow you must be turning yourself to stone" (DC13 Wis save or 1 Psychic damage and disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn)
As a bonus action he shouts at Brekka "You’re no statue carved to stay — you’ve got steps left to dance today." giving bardic inspiration

[[Attack: 25 (crit!). Damage: 10 slashing. If that kills it he'll use the rest of his movement to go back towards the cockatrices.]]
[[Working on the assumption that Brekka's crit killed the basilisk]]
With the lizard creature dispatched, Mathias turns his attention back the restrained cockatrices, targeting one with a starry wisp.
[[Attacking with advantage due to the creature being restrained. Even with advantage only hits AC 12, on the off chance that hits, 4 radiant damage.]]
