[ It might simply be the fact that the three of them have been together nonstop for the past few weeks, or maybe it's that they're all competent and experienced in their own ways, but they do work well together. None of them are wont to hesitate in a situation like this, acting decisively in order to get the job done. Their last monster encounter had not gone as planned, but Thancred will do it all it takes to ensure there's no repeat of that mess.
Yennefer and Stephen happen to make that a simple task. Yennefer frees the device, which Stephen is able to grab with his magick and bring back toward him and far from the creature's grasping limbs. They can't simply let this thing disappear back beneath the sand, not when they still need to set up the device successfully, and so they all know what has to be done. Not that Thancred has much compunction when it comes to slaying monsters. This sort of thing is business as usual where he's from.
The glowing sphere at its back is exposed by Stephen forcing the creature forward and holding it in place, and Thancred knows a cue when he sees one. His struggling hasn't been able to free him from the tentacle that's stuck to his coat, and so he relents and shrugs out of his garment, letting it fall to the ground and take the tentacle with it. Losing the coat is not the worst tragedy despite the comment he made just a few moments before.
Freed now, he maneuvers his way around to the back of the creature and readies his gunblade. He's been conserving his ammunition as much as he can, but in this case he isn't going to take any chances. He thrusts forward and squeezes the trigger, the cartridge exploding from the barrel and right into what they assume to be the creature's weak spot. The glowing purple light flickers and stutters in response, and the creature makes a horrible noise, all of its tentacles flailing about in pain. Thancred jerks to one side, not interested in being trapped again, and yells to Yennefer: ]
