We ended up reloading a previous save and avoided killing the rats in public. I'm not sure what my partner was doing as he was in charge of the specifics of the rat quest, but I don't believe that killing the little rats was a necessary step in finding the Rat King. In any case, that should be made more clear. In retrospect what happened was this: We started killing rats from the get-go as soon as we entered town, and getting attacked by orcs wasn't unusual, so we didn't realize we actually broke the entire town until the cats started attacking.
But yes, this town is a hive of chaos. The only solution is Exterminatus, and we would like the cat to take refuge if possible. The emperor's purifying wrath does not discriminate lightly.
