===Month of work for the Empire===
It has been a month since the last episode. Renatus Fur over the course of time has been spying on the Voraci Troops for Magistrate Zerrah in Hornstead Kingdom.
In his free time he steals time away to visit his family in the tower, his wife (Fausta) and son. Aurelius Jr begins to call Renatus "papa". The two prisoners are treated well, but they are still prisoners who are isolated.
Renatus doesn't currently see a way out of this current situation and feels trapped.
===Zerrah's New Orders===
Magistrate Zerrah summons Renatus to her office. Also there is a Voraci Captain named Huck. Captain Huck is a human male in his mid-30s.
Magistrate Zerrah explains she has lured the Inquisitor of the Censor to come to Valebrook. Renatus is the lure for the Inquisitor Jira, the known associate of the Firefles. The Inquisitor is loyal to Censor Weld so she wants Renatus to take care of them on the road. The Inquisitor is a powerful cleric in their own right.
Inquisitor Jira will meet with a "friendly escort" of 16 orcs, as he enters the kingdom. Huck and Renatus will lead this detachment of Orcs. They are to kill the Inquisitor and any bodyguards and any witnesses. The bodies will then be staged like a Firefly ambush.
Captain Huck is given a quiver of elven arrows to plant on the scene. Also the Orcs coming with Captain Huck and Renatus are to be killed as well. Zerrah needs to avoid any suspicions.
When Captain Huck is dismissed, Magistrate Zerrah explains he needs Renatus to kill Captain Huck after they take care of the Orcs. Zerrah claims Huck abuses his position of power, especially against prisoners in the dungeons. Renatus gives his agreement to do this for the Magistrate. Huck's body is to be found at the battle site, or frame his death by elves.
Renatus develops a plan to bring a carriage for the Inquisitor, where he will be waiting inside, invisible with the Shadow Blade. Zerrah agrees to send her personal carriage for the mission, but it is to be burnt after the mission.
Renatus over the past few months has softened his opinion on the Magistrate, believing that he does want to reform the Voraci Empire.
Renatus leaves the office and meets with Captain Huck. Huck has suspicions over what Renatus and Zerrah spoke about in his absence. Renatus talks about the plan and the carriage. Captain Huck says they leave tomorrow.

A few days later Renatus, Captain Huck and the 16 Orcs wait on the road between Jaedyn and Keygate. Renatus and Captain Huck make the finer points of the plan, with troop placements. 
Eventually Inquisitor Jira appears on the road, on schedule, along with her 4 knights. Inquisitor Jira turns out to be a half-goblin. Captain Huck greets Inquisitor and invites her to use the carriage. The Inquisitor is suspicious, but the Captain smooth talks the situation.
The Captain and Inquisitor go into the carriage. When Inquisitor Jira lowers his guard Renatus strikes. The Inquisitor is reduced to -1 HP outright from the attack.
Outside combat breaks out between the orcs and the 4 knights. Renatus and Captain Huck join in the fight, first hitting some of the knights, but then against the Orcs.
Captain Huck convinces the knights that he is on their side and that Renatus is the traitor. Renatus tries to team up with the Orcs, but they don't believe him.
Renatus hides as the fight continues between the knights and orcs. One of the knights drags the unconscious Inquisitor out of the carriage and binds his wounds. Renatus goes after the knight patching the wounds and kills them, and finishes off the Inquisitor.
