The SSRS Kostroma lies idle in the southeastern bay of Mended Horn Island. Only the front portion, the two forward masts and the front of the superstructure that sits in the center of the freighter's hull, is illuminated by a pair of dim lights that glow orange-red, a sure sign that the boilers of the Kostroma are dying, and the lights will soon go off. The remainder of the ship's funnel, and the mast behind the superstructure are visible only in silhouette. The gibbous moon and starry night that would have provided a clear backdrop to the black hulk of the Kostroma have been smothered by the overcast skies and light rain.
A sound comes, not from the Kostroma, and indeed, not from anywhere at all. A low, vaguely tinnitus-like sound that drains out the sound of silence. It calls to you. It calls to everyone.
"Come to the Kostroma, good soldier. Join us here. Come."

I thought they were just following right behind us, with the noncombatants being in the far rear.

Posey sees these creatures, she stands resolute, her eyes glowing.
"Show yourselves." she says

No very clear view on those to each side of Posey. Possibly five in total, but it's hard to say given the number of objects in the room like barrels. For certain, two to each side, and one near the center. The one in front of Posey she can see the eyes of, and can presumably see her

Kira reflexively shoots an arrow at the darkness encompassing her before slithering towards the rest of the group with a silent scream.

Is it affected by her gaze?
"Say something."
Rolling Diplomacy (assuming penalty from language barrier)

"They have us surrounded on three sides and might come in from above. Might I suggest we back out of this chokepoint to find a different way?" he suggests quietly to Silver and Posey.

Are the sailors not responding to the gunshots?
I say let them decide what their priorities are.

Can we just say that Kira shoots another arrow at the monster (that's what she would normally do), and Silver moves into melee and takes a defensive action to protect the rear of the herd, until the player returns?

Kira isn't hard, but Silver sort of is. Finding out what the player would do in the scenario is part of the fun of combat. I would tentatively think he'd hit those attacking from the front with the broadside of his sword, but I am unsure
Maybe Kira shoots an arrow, and Silver just turns around and is out for at least the round?

We kind of need Silver in front at the very least to guard against enemy attacks. Cavaliere can't tank and we probably should let Sand take too much damage. I agree he would probably go for non-lethal takedowns, but this is also a dangerous situation where knocking out enemies is very inconvenient.

Two creatures face off against Silver. These are the two on the left. Both seem to be ponies in the dim light, wearing navy uniforms.
One stands at a distance with a rifle
[1d20+3 = (20+3) = 23]
[2d8 = 2]
The other charges at Silver with a rod carried in his mouth. A blue spark twinkles at the end
Silver hits at the pony with his pommel
[1d20+8 = (14+8) = 22]
[2d8+8 = (5+8) = 13]

Silver is shot
[1d20+3 = (2+3) = 5]

Silver hurts the pony - a grey Pegasus in Stalliongradian Merchant Marine blue - but it extends its rod. It only wishes to touch Silver, not hit him.

In front of Posey, a light turns on. It's a red and blue flame coming from a hoof held torch, which a unicorn carries in blue magic. A second pony stands behind a crate and rests a rifle on it, aiming at Posey

From the sound, it's most likely a fuel barrel more empty than not.

Posey moves.
She doesn't completely avoid all consequences of the flame, being singed by it (half damage), but importantly, she avoids her cloak and armor catching on fire
