Well, the good news is that Samael roasts four of the flappy little buggers, including the one in Sirq's hand. The bad news is that Sirq is also a party to the flames, though he ducks most of it.
Morn moves around to get a better look at the creature attached to Samael, he makes several arcane gestures as he mutters "Pruina" (Frostbite on Pumper, Con Save DC 13 or 2 cold damage & disadvantage on next attack).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Morn tries some surgical freezing, but the plumper snuggles down against Samael's flesh in a most unpleasant manner.
Con Save: 3
Clem's oldest yanks one off his neck, the proboscis stretching disgustingly as it comes free. His middle brother pulls the other one free, while the youngest pulls a dagger and slashes at them both.
Attack: 11 Damage: 3
Attack: 15 Damage: 5
His blade parts the neck of the first one, but the second wiggles and he ends up gashing his brother's hand instead. There is some vibrant riverman cursing on both their parts.

As the pumper attaches to Trinjya she flinches due to the sudden pain on her back right above where her armor ends. She curses herself for her carlessness, not having paid enough attention to her surroundings. She yells out, putting all her anger into a curse naturally switching to infernal as she casts vicious mockery (on her turn of course). It's a wis save (dc14) for the creature or take 4 if it can hear Trinjya. She will then move closer to the other group members, putting her back against The closes one of them for cover or, if the pumper is still attached to her, yelling "Get that thing off me, get it off!

It crumples and goes limp, though it's still anchored by its mouthparts, at least it seems to be dead.
((Targeting for 4 fliers, in order below: 33 9, 9, 4, 2 = two after Clem's youngest, one after Sirq, one after Horatio))
Those on the wing flap down, two attempting to thrust their mouthparts into Clem's youngest boy.
Attack: 17 Damage: 7
Attack: 7 Damage: 6
Another one flaps down and attempts to bite Sirq, and one at Horatio, both of them worming their beaky noodles into you painfully. (Stress WIS Save, please!))
Attack Sirq: 21 Damage: 4
Attack Horatio: 6 Damage: 7
The one and Samael and the one on Clem contract, their flabby bodies pulsing as they pump digestive fluids into the two of you, Clem bellowing for someone to get it off him. Those of you watching can see the skin swelling around the bite site as the pumper goes to work feeding. Samael, besides the pain, there is a strangely 'full' feeling, kind of like you might imagine trying to blow air into a mostly full waterskin... except you're the water skin. ((Stress WIS Save, please!))
Sirq, too focused on the pumper who just attached to him and the face full of fire he just received from Samael, plucks the pumper off of him, casting it aside as he focuses on trying to get to Clem to help him out. Assuming he can reach Clem, he'll strike at the pumper with his dagger (Attack: 9 Damage: 6). "Focus on his boys!"he calls to the others.
(Gods, these are horrible rolls. Absolutely horrible. I mean it when I say it, I'm going to die, and y'all have gotta attend my funeral.)
Horatio grins, his teeth holding a fierce rictus as the pumper lands on his exposed skin, piercing his flesh but not seeming to do any real harm, despite the dark blood oozing from around the wound. He extends his hand, palm out, towards the imbedded creature, and it seems to struggle for a moment as though it were being held by an invisible hand. A ghastly red light pools in front of the outstretched palm before flashing out towards the pumper!

((Forgot one!))
The pumper in Clem's middle boy's hand writhes, its flexible beak seeking his flesh.
Attack: 8 Damage: 5
Horatio blasts his with red light and the pumper's withered body falls from his flesh!
Clem bellows again and ignoring the one pumping stuff into him, grabs the head of the one that just attached itself to his middle son, crushing it.
20 Damage: 3
Sirq pulls his free, and now once again has a handful of pumper, unless he wants to cast it aside.
Samael follows suit, pulling his free painfully, as foul smelling ooze arcs across the deck from the wound, dribbling down his side. He can similarly hold onto it or toss it away from him.
((Clem has one attached, his youngest has two attached, and Sirq and Samael each have the ones they pulled off themselves.))

if no one will get it off, i will yank it off and cast poison spray cantrip on the pumper, making sure the spray is aimed away from me.
edit: on my turn.
(OOC - I was trying to kill it, but that didn't work. My bad.)
(ooc: i know you tried, but it seems these pumpers have high luck stats.)

Samael will definitely yank it off, and cast poison spray on it "karma works in both the heavens and the hells, beast."
(How far away is Sirq from Clem?)
