Arxius has fired at one and it is coming out at us. Is there any way to try to slam the cell door on at least one of the other cells in hopes that it traps the rat in the cell? Or are they all outside of the cells by the time we see them?
I would say you could do it to Rats #1 and #3 since their initiative is low and Arxius specified she fired at the cell on the right and that Rat has a high initiative.
Shut two of the doors Talien says using his turn to shut a door and hold it closed. We can fight them one room at a time. (fill this post in when it is Talien's turn)
Giant Rat #2: [AC 12; HP 5/5; Init 21] Postion: Exiting Middle Right Cell. Action: Moves out of cell and attempts to bite Arxius. Chatra: AC 12; HP 10/10; Init 19]. Position: Behind Alten and Arxius. Action: Granted Bardic Inspiration to Arxius. Talien: [AC 18; HP 13/13; Init 19]. Position: Behind Alten and Arixus. Action: Shut Middle Left Cell door. Arxius: [AC 14; HP 11/11; Init 18]. Position: Outside Middle Right Cell. Alten: [AC 16; HP 12/12; Init 17]. Position: Next to Arxius. Grom: [AC 13; HP 7/7; Init 11]. Position: Half-cover around corner near wooden door to the south (+2 AC Half cover). Giant Rat #1: [AC 12; HP: 9/9; Init: 9]. Position: In Middle Left Cell (+2 AC Half cover Full Cover). Rees [AC 13; HP 8/8; Init 9]. Position: Behind Alten and Arxius. Giant Rat #3: [AC 14; HP: 3/3; Init: 8]. In Top Left Cell (+2 AC half cover). Meepo: [AC 12; HP: 6/6. Init: 5]. Position: In front of Arxius.
Infuriated by your presence in it's nesting grounds the giant rat(#2) Arxius attempted o shoot leaps at her for a bite. Attack: 12 Damage: 3
Chatra (deciding to be helpful for once) yells, "Arxius you can't blame the rat for wanting to bite you're rump! It is quite nice!"
Chatra grants Arxius bardic inspiration:
Bardic Inspiration As a bonus action, a creature within 60 ft. that can hear you gains an inspiration die (1d6). For 10 minutes, the creature can add it to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. This can be added after seeing the roll, but before knowing the outcome.
Talien rushes forward and slams the door to the middle left cell shut.
"Chatra, you are not helping-" Arxius growls. She grabs her axe with her free hand and swings it at rat #2 as it leaps at her.
Attack: 7 Damage: 4
Inspiration: 2
You are unused to fighting in such a tight space. As such when you raise your arm to attack you clip the wall adjacent to you with your axe blade. The miscalculation causes your swing to lose its momentum and gives the rat enough time to jump out of the way.
Alten will try to slam the cell door on the other rat
You run by Arxius who is duking it out with the [monster]giant rat[/monster[ from the middle right cell admiring her as you go. You reach the north western most cell and slam the door trapping the rat inside.

Grom curses and releases his fire bolt at giant rat #2. Attack: 18 Damage: 10.
As its locked in its cell giant rat #1 just screeches and scratches at the cell door.
Arxius catches a glimpse a glimpse of orange light as it blazes passed her and strikes the rat she is battling. The rat hisses in pain as the smell of burnt hair fills the hallway.

Edit: Fixed health pool on giant rat #2 and Alten.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Yes, we know, Arxius has a great ass, could we all please focus?" Rees grumbles, pulling out her shortsword and swinging it at the rat attacking Arxius.

Attack: 14 Damage: 11
How would you like to do this? (describe the kill >:) please).
Rees just rolls her eyes and mutters "Men" under her breath, stabs the rat (probably harder than necessary), pulls the sword out and flips her hair dramatically.

Locked in its cell, the giant rat in the top left cell (#3) [Tooltip Not Found] in its nest. (I'm going to give it an auto success, since it has full cover and nobody can see into the cell).
Meepo exclaims, "Good job friends!" and readies his dagger. He is going to hold his attack until he can see the rat in the middle left cell (#1).
Chatra laughs and says, "Yes, yes Rees.. we can focus.. and by the way you don't seem jealous at all of Arxius' ASS-ets." He draws his rapier and will also wait until he sees rat #1 to attack it.
Talien is up...
Edit: Updated actions sections for Rat #3, Meepo, and Chatra in spoiler.
1 dead giant rat and 2 rats locked in separate cells, correct?
Talien and I flank each side of the door. People with range on the other side, accross from the door.
Talien and I Ready our weapon attack for when it comes out of the cell. One of us pushes the door open and the people with ranged weapons attack from across the room?
Once everyone is in position, Talien or I (whoever is better positioned based on how heavy the doors are) will push it open as far as possible without entering the line of fire from the others across the room. Alten is readying his attack for when the rat comes out.
[Fenris: Unless something weird is going on, this is a kill-box for each rat with readied actions. Do you want to cinematically do this or actually roll for it?]
