Brack, in a rather uncharacteristic move, sheepishly looks up from the pylon towards the vessel. Raising one hand to his cowl while keeping a death grip on the pole, he runs his fingers through the fabric until it begins to glow.
At that very instant, sound begins to rise from the near the entryway to the vessel's cabin,
(Slosh stomp slosh stomp!) "Gaedren!" (Sputter) "Quick, I-I-I lost them for the moment!! Come help me c-c-cast off before they find us!"
The party waited in anticipation as the sounds of Yargin's failing filled the air. Though Brack's imitation was spot in, it unfortunately did not draw out Gaedren or anyone else from their hiding place.
After giving it a couple minutes, Redii relaxed from her waiting position before turning to Maz & Brack. "Sh*t... I guess he didn't take the bait. Looks like we'll have to invite ourselves in." Turning towards Hutton who was waiting inside the Old Fishery off the boardwalk, she signaled for him to join them before turning back towards the ship.
"Guess I'll go first..." taking a deep breath before moving, she quickly made her way towards the ship and pulled herself up onto the ship's main deck, spotting nothing of notee besides a door leading to a cabin above deck. Signaling that the coast seemed to be clear, she motioned for the others to join her...
"To the hells with that," Hutton murmurs as he eyes the decrepit boardwalk. He takes a cautious step out the door and looks back at the outside of the wall surrounding it. Wiping his hands on his trousers, he rolls his shoulders before grasping the stones of the wall to pull himself up to the roof. Carefully, he lumbers toward the back of the building overlooking the ship and climbs down far enough that he can safely drop onto the deck.
If it seems like that will make too much noise for the present situation, he'll remain on the roof and ready to climb down enough to drop when needed.

Hutton's detour was a little more perilous than he would've liked - the wall actually sagged on his climb up and he had to gingerly move across the roof after his boot fell through early on his walk across - but he managed to eventually climb down the wall on the far side of the building without issue and drop the last few feet onto the deck of the Kraken's Folly. The ship rocked slightly after Hutton's landing, causing Redii to turn and give him a "Was that really necessary?" stare.
Throughly disgusted by the size of the spider charging towards her, Reddi took her sai and jammed it into the large abdomen of the spider as hard as she could. Squealing as she pulled her weapon from its body, she quickly kicked the creature in the head before it could react, sending it overboard into the water below.
Hearing Redii yell out, Mazour decided it was in fact time to peek now. Peering through the window down at the boat, he watched as Redii rocked back in surprise. In an instant she darted forward, and through, the spider. In a burst of blacklight smoke, Mazour disappears from the window. A negative flash of smoky tendrils appears quickly twists into Mazour. With a step, he's next to the spider corpse, looking down at it with a shrug. "That... is disgusting," he whispers.
"Just an eight-legged cat with too many eyes," Hutton quips. "Just another day in Korvosa, right? You sure Gaerdren's here and that wasn't just Yargin's pet he was runnin' for?"
"I suppose you're right on that. You would think I'd be... accustomed... to Korvosan pets by now. " Mazour raised an eyebrow as he looked about the boat again. "He was moving this way for sure. And unless they named the... ugly cat... Gaedrun too, he should be around here. "He motions silently toward the stairs leading down. "Although they did name that guy Giggles, so anything is possible."
"I don't like things with that many eyes..." Redii commented, visibly shivering in either fear or disgust. "Especially when it's that big. Hopefully that was the only on-" she continued before being interrupted by sounds coming from below. A moment later, (4) more cat-sized Drain Spiders raced up the stairs and straight towards the rest of the party!
Redii's face twisted in disgust as a larger wave of spiders rushed forward. She held her place and waited for the first one to reach her before attacking, hitting it once with her dagger, but missing with her kick to send it overboard like she had with the previous one.
Seeing the spiders surge from below, Mazour fights the urge to retch. Instead, he raises his left hand to expose the reliquary dangling from a chain wrapped around his wrist. Whispering his prayer to Pharasma as the smokey form of a bell swirled above the spider Reddi struck. The dolorous tone vibrates through the area as it rings out one single time. Mazour circles around and moves around the opening below to put some space between him and the spiders.
The wounded spider, shuddered at the tolling of the mystical bell, releasing a single screech before rolling to its side and falling completely still.
The (3) remaining spiders continued to surge forward through the cabin door and towards the party on the ship's deck. One went straight towards Mazour and attempted to bit him in the leg, but luckily for the Cleric, the creature's teeth was unable to pierce the plating on his legs. Redii on the other hand was surrounded by (2) of them. She did her best to shake them off, but one managed to find an opening and bite her leg, causing her to cry out in pain. A moment later, she suddenly collapsed like a house of cards onto the deck...
Hutton & Brack are up!
Rolls:
Drain Spider DC14 WIS Save: 7 (Fail!)

Hefting one size 18, he steps down on the nearest spider (blue) and pivots his other leg over his collapsed companion, interposing himself between friend and foe as much as possible.
With a wet squelch, Hutton squashed one of the spiders surrounding Redii, sending spider blood, legs and eyes across the deck of the Kraken's Folly. before taking a defensive position on top of the prone thief!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Watching the ensuing chaos unfold from the pylon as second wave of spiders engage the crew, Brack shudders and mutters a curse. Breathing deeply, he bolts from his position across the dock and throws himself onto the ship in a hurried manner. Despite the burst of physical activity, color seemed to return to Brack's visage as he landed on the wooden deck of the vessel. Wasting no time at all, he raises a hand to his mouth and shouts "Miss Rabbit, best not be 'aving a nap at a time like this, eh?"
His voice carries over the dank, salty air in a scintillating manner, like steam dancing atop a cooking pot. It weaves like a serpent towards Redii and plunges into her stomach with a faint glow.
Bonus Action - Healing Word @ Redii: 7
Brack turns his attention back to the others, casting impatient stare at the slow progress being made at squashing the remaining insectoids. He bellows, "....seh goh BAHCK!", striking up a familiar discord towards their eight legged adversaries.
Vicious Mockery @ Drain Spider White:Wis Save DC14 or 18 Psychic Damage and Disadvantage on Next Attack Roll
Brack's magically laced voice reached the prone monk, causing her to awaken with a start to find herself prone on the ground beneath the moving mountain that is Hutton. A bit disoriented, she attempted to crawl out from under him only to find that she couldn't move her body at all, in fact, she couldn't even speak! Helpless, she was forced to stay still and hope that she somehow regained control of herself...
At the same time, Brack's magically laced taunt did not seem to take hold within the spider, seemingly brushing off the magic to continue their frenzied attack!
Mazour is up!
Note: DC10 Medicine Check (You can do this check as a free action):
To discern that Redii is paralyzed due to spider poison she received from the bite.
Mazour glanced over to the angry mountain standing over Reddi, more spider goo squelching out from the crushed body. Brack called forth his own magic and Mazour could see Reddi healed, but not moving. "Poison!" he exclaimed, "Watch out for the fangs!"
With that he mutters again, a short prayer to Pharasma (May She guide us to the next world.). The bell swirls into shape above the spider (yellow) and rings out in a solitary dolorous tone.
Will Save DC14 for spider or 3 points of damage.
