Description summary:
The description varies depending on the Format of Trial.

Format	Description
0 - Common Law	The newspapers will refer to this case as unconventional. The finer legal minds in London may consider it grotesque. But the rats are satisfied. […] The notes of this case will be taught to every litter of Venge-Rats for the next seven generations.
20 - Cedar Trial	When this case is over, and you all leave the [...] building, you will find the cedar sapling taller than when you went in. The air will be hot and humid, electric as a bottled thunderstorm. What happened in the courtroom today was only a proxy skirmish.
30 - Marigold Methods	After the case is done, your clients have singed fur. Their tails are hot as stove-pipes, and their eyes are segmented like insects'. They do not appear to mind.

Failure

Defeat for the rats!

The urchins need the verdict read out three times before they grasp that they've won [...] once this happens, they run off laughing. "I hope they are eaten by a travelling bear," grumbles one of the Venge-Rats, as it tries to straighten a crooked whisker.
