Answer: in the sugar

He tells the rat catchers the only antidote is cascara, a rather nasty laxative. Of course it turns out he didn't really put poison in the sugar but really... cascara! Those rat catchers really are on the run!
9. Who escapes from a Nugent Brothers Breakback Mk 1.?

Answer: Darktan

Darktan is the only rat ever to escape from a trap alive. Nourishing manages to gnaw through the spring as the trap is so old.
10. What or who is the Rat King?
