Several flimsy possibilities.

Maybe the survivors got "kicked out" by Tamamo once she woke up. Maybe the spell threw them overboard. Maybe they somehow managed to crawl out of the castle and get rescued by a third party.

But yeah, "how they miraculously survived" is annoyingly in full effect here.
