The rowboat is still a couple rounds away. But when Khessa runs to the edge of the ship with the chest Sindhuk nods hurriedly and starts rowing the boat toward the ship. It will be here in two rounds. At that same time, you see a familiar form begin to materialise onto the deck of the boat. The Phase Spider shifting out of the etherealness and ready for round 2. Initiative:
Group 1: Coriana, Khessa, Theldrin, and Xanrym
Group 2: Phase Spider
Group 3: Avery and Syllen
The Phase Spider materialises and is ready to fight. The rowboat is still 2 rounds away.
1) If the Phase Spider is seriously injured, like when it disappeared
Khessa, seeing the Phase Spider in serious condition, decides to finish it off before it can do further damage. Her fingers intertwine a rapid dance, in concert with esoteric syllables of power, at the end of which three darts of pure magical energy shoot towards the target, changing direction when it tries to move and leaving it no escape!
2) If the Phase Spider seems to be healed compared to when it disappeared
Khessa, seeing the Phase Spider healed compared to when it disappeared, curses under her breath...
Aware of being among the best defended members of the group, the blonde arcane warrior rushes forward, brandishing her Greatsword and, to draw the attention of the supernatural predator towards herself, she delivers a powerful slash towards the monster's abdomen.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"There you are..." Theldrin mutters under his breath, not surprised to see the Phase Spider reappear. He quickly aims a Fire Bolt at the creature's abdomen area, then loads his crossbow.
Hoping to drive the spider away or to at least allow Khessa to get another swing at it, Xanrym gives the creature a withering glance and says, "I'm afraid you've only returned in time to go down with the sinking ship." Then he casts a spell to drive it away. Finally, Xanrym tries to he draws his spear, ready to fight off this monster again.
Bonus Action: Use Unsettling Words against the Phase Spider The Phase Spider suffers a 6 penalty on its next saving throw (against Xanrym's spell). The adjustment is reflected in the saving throw DC below. Action: Cast spell (LVL 1 slot) Dissonant Whispers, WIS 20 save or take 4 psychic damage and immediately use its reaction, if available, to safely move as far as its speed allows away from Xanrym. On a successful save: 2 psychic damage and no forced movement. Movement: If Xanrym is not/no longer adjacent to the Phase Spider, he moves back so that everyone other than Theldrin is between him and the spider.

The adjustment is reflected in the saving throw DC below. Action: Cast spell (LVL 1 slot) Dissonant Whispers, WIS 19 save or take 9 psychic damage and immediately use its reaction, if available, to safely move as far as its speed allows away from Xanrym.

It shakes off Xanrym's word's seemingly intent on it's task. Coriana throws an Eldritch Blast at the creature but it dodges out of the way and Bite's first at Syllen:
Bite 1 against Syllen Attack: 15 Damage: 10 Piercing and 9 Poison.
Bite 2 against Syllen Attack: 7 Damage: 7 Piercing and 5 Poison.
If either Bite drops Syllen to 0 hp, he becomes Stable, and has the Poisoned condition for 1 hour. While Poisoned, he also has the Paralyzed condition.
You all are up. The Phase Spider looks really hurt, but is using it's last breath to try and take as many of you with it as possible.

A few minutes ago...
"CORIANA!! Move!" shouted someone, maybe Xanrym, as Coriana stood, transfixed by the power of the tentacles. The sheer power of the unknown in the depths overwhelms her, as if the enormity of the weight of her pact was hitting her for the first time again.
Grab the chest and jump, then everyone can focus on escaping. Do it, Coriana, she thought, but she couldn't stop staring.
Her mind suddenly snaps to as the water rises. She jumps out of the hold through the openings and dives into the Nyr Dyv, her effortless glide through the water to the fleeing rowboat. She sees the party battling that damned ethereal spider, hexes it and strikes.
Now..
BA: Move Hex to phase spider. Eldritch Blast: AC 20, 10 force, 3 necrotic.

Theldrin glances at Xanrym before taking aim at the Phase Spider with his crossbow. He takes a deep breath and releases it as he pulls the trigger, hoping his markmanship improves from the embarrassing demonstration in the ship's hold below.

Xanrym: Round 2
If the Phase Spider is still alive, Xanrym will just cast a cantrip at it.

Khessa helps loading the precious cargo on the rowboat and hurries all: "Come on! We did it! Let's go!"
The blonde arcane warrior can't wait to put as much distance as possible between her and the monstruos tentacles...
The rowboat is still a couple rounds away. But when Khessa runs to the edge of the ship with the chest Sindhuk nods hurriedly and starts rowing the boat toward the ship. It will be here in two rounds. At that same time, you see a familiar form begin to materialise onto the deck of the boat. The Phase Spider shifting out of the etherealness and ready for round 2.

Group 2: Phase Spider
Group 3: Avery and Syllen
The Phase Spider materialises and is ready to fight. The rowboat is still 2 rounds away.
It is still heavily wounded? Or does it seem healed?
Ok, let's distinguish between the two cases...
1) If the Phase Spider is seriously injured, like when it disappeared
Khessa, seeing the Phase Spider in serious condition, decides to finish it off before it can do further damage. Her fingers intertwine a rapid dance, in concert with esoteric syllables of power, at the end of which three darts of pure magical energy shoot towards the target, changing direction when it tries to move and leaving it no escape!

Khessa's rolls
1) If the Phase Spider is seriously injured, like when it disappeared
Magic Missile: Damage: 13 (force)
2) If the Phase Spider seems to be healed compared to when it disappeared
Greatsword Attack: 8 Damage: 7 (slashing) or 3 if missed, thanks to Graze property
"There you are..." Theldrin mutters under his breath, not surprised to see the Phase Spider reappear. He quickly aims a Fire Bolt at the creature's abdomen area, then loads his crossbow.
Attack: 24 Damage: 5
Xanrym: Round 1
Hoping to drive the spider away or to at least allow Khessa to get another swing at it, Xanrym gives the creature a withering glance and says, "I'm afraid you've only returned in time to go down with the sinking ship." Then he casts a spell to drive it away. Finally, Xanrym tries to he draws his spear, ready to fight off this monster again.

The spider does still look very injured. Even more so after Khessa's Magic Missile, Theldrin's Firebolt misses.
Phase Spider DC 19 WIS Save: 7
It shakes off Xanrym's word's seemingly intent on it's task. Coriana throws an Eldritch Blast at the creature but it dodges out of the way and Bite's first at Syllen:
Bite 1 against Syllen Attack: 15 Damage: 10 Piercing and 9 Poison.
Bite 2 against Syllen Attack: 7 Damage: 7 Piercing and 5 Poison.
If either Bite drops Syllen to 0 hp, he becomes Stable, and has the Poisoned condition for 1 hour. While Poisoned, he also has the Paralyzed condition.
You all are up. The Phase Spider looks really hurt, but is using it's last breath to try and take as many of you with it as possible.
Khessa gives the spider a sarcastic look: "You really don't know when it's time to give up, do you? Well... too bad!"
The blonde arcane warrior unleashes her magical power like before, sending another volley of energy darts at the creature.
Khessa's Magic Missile: Damage: 7 (force)
