==Plot Summary==
Armando has been awaiting trial for his confession of hiring an assassin to kill his parents twelve years ago. He feels relief from finally confessing his crime, but is still perplexed why the assassin never picked up their payment from him. Armando, Sadie, and new guild member Nasty are transported into Armando's past. Inhabiting the bodies of local police officers, the party is called to investigate the murder of none other than Armando's own parents. Launching into the investigation, the butler, Giosef, is handcuffed to the door and interrogated, multiple subtle and telling blood spatters are discovered, poison tea sniffed, and other various clues collected. Shortly before being transported back to the guild hall, Giosef is discovered to be none other than serial criminal Dr. Nightshade, who promptly escapes. 
Back at the guild hall, the party reviews the information and comes to the realization that Arturo de Medici's political rival, Bonaventura Halevy, had him killed at the hands of fellow guild member Dr. Nightshade. Dr. Nightshade had taken the identity of their butler and was planning to kill them when Arturo and Maria's argument over inheritance rights and Arturo's many children resulted in Maria's death. Entering the scene, Dr. Nightshade had found one of his targets already deceased, and the other trying to stage the scene. He had done his job and worn Giosef the butler's face long enough to report it, and almost long enough to get caught, but not quite. Realizing this information, the party looked around the bar in the present day. Conveniently, Bonaventura was visiting the guild bar, so Sadie loosened his tongue with a wagon of liquor. Upon being accused, the devil Bonaventura escaped custody by having his associate (Nightshade) send him to hell via flying knife. As a devil, Bonaventura goes to hell upon dying, technically paying the capital punishment for his crimes, but forming a new contract with someone in our plane can bring him right back. Armando might have put up a bulletin to hire an assassin to kill his parents, but they were already dead from another person, Bonaventura, having hired an assassin to kill them.
