Well if this thing is all connected and a hive mind then you do know how to defeat it don't you?
Kill a part of a Hive mind and you just kill it.
HURT parts of a hive mind and they all share the pain become less effective.
So severely wound each in turn but don't kill it until you kill the whole thing.

Hive Mind? Yikes, Hope they don't assimilate the Questor.

It's a rat pentagram. Beither <i>could</i> have used more--rats are cheap--but he used <i>five</i>. Nice. . .
I don't think a candle is going to work on this one: It's an actual physical creature, not a shadow-rat. Of course, Quentyn may have other reasons for lighting the candle. As for the rat king being smarter than our hero, I don't think so.
Nevertheless, Quentyn is beyond being in over his head; he's hit the bottom of the ocean and started digging.

I suppose Rat a la flambe will work just fine, as the rats are, or were, living creatures. Of course, I do not have any data on the resistances of RAB-Made Rat Kings, re-tail value $99.99.

I think its for warding off any shadow-rats that pop up for lunch. Same basic reason that was in the book he read.

Evaporate? No.
Die a hideous, squeal-y, flaming death? Yes.

If it has fur, flesh and anything elce flammable, it'll roast quite nicely
