[Lance registers the glow and the fact that the second tentacle hasn't hit him, and hopefully not Ian either, since he has a guess of what happened even if he doesn't look back to confirm it. He's too busy trying keep his own shield between himself and those huge claws, the monster trapped and angered and lashing out violently.
Then there's a gunshot, and the rat shrieks at the same time as Lance gasps in pain, thrown off balance and staggering for a moment due to the sound of gunfire right next to his ear and in such an enclosed space, but he'd been mentally prepared enough for it that it doesn't stop him for long. The rat takes more time to recover, and with it now closer to the wall of the tunnel Lance is confident enough to take a shot at it without worrying about hitting someone behind it. The bullet hits right in the center of the thing's strangely split head, and it shrieks once more before slumping to the ground.
Although Lance can't quite hear it at the moment, ears ringing too badly, there's more scrabbling come from down the hall as more creatures are doubtlessly drawn to the sound of the scuffle.]
