Plot Summary: 
Skirmish, Jade, and Jenny see Tamantha hanging a flier for new laws that have been passed to control the town residents' personal life. While they're watching, a child pickpockets Tamantha. Jenny pickpockets the child while he is distracted. Jade arrests the child and hauls them off to the town guard station. Filling out the form is part of the law, so when the child tells her its name is Butty McButtface, she writes that down. They all say hi to Jade's partner before she retired, Cyrus Miller, and the town guard friends. 
Concerned about these new laws that invade personal freedom, they head to the courthouse. Throughout the day, because it's Jenny's Egg Day and she has turned one day old, they pick her up some meat on a stick and a big stuffed animal of herself as birthday gifts, Arriving at the courthouse, Jade's friend Judge Virtanen gives Jenny one of the toy gavels she keeps in her office and tells everyone a bit about her job and how she uses evidence to send murderers to jail. Judge Virtanen confirms that Tamantha's boss, Judge Drakul, is the one responsible for these laws and that he's been acting different lately. 
The adventurers go to his home, which looks abandoned. The lawn is unkempt. Concluding that since he's still been showing up for work, he might be a changeling replacement like was big news around Niqamui last year and that the real Judge Drakul might be hurt or dead or imprisoned inside the home, the adventurers go inside. He's not there. Jenny steals a book with a spokes symbol on its cover and blank pages. 
Where could the judge be if he's not at home? They watch the court house until closing time, but Judge Drakul never left. They use a secret town guard tunnel to return to the inside of the courthouse, but Judge Drakul isn't inside. They go to Judge Drakul's office, but there's no Judge Drakul there. Where is he sleeping if not at his home? Skirmish spots a super magical painting in the office, so they take it with them to a magic school, where the magic professor tells them it's very magical and there are people inside it who can hear them. 
The adventurers decide that, since the imposter to Judge Drakul is inside the painting, they should take it to the police station and lock it up. As they do so, "Judge Drakul" pops out of the painting magically. But he doesn't know Jade's name, despite having played game nights with her and Judge Virtanen and Cyrus in the past. So Jade concludes this is not Judge Drakul, manacles him, and hauls him to the police station where she casts a zone of truth and in front of everyone, Judge Drakul can't name Cyrus and isn't able to say he's Judge Drakul inside a zone of truth. 
The imposter hops back inside the magical painting. Everyone stares at the magical painting, but that's all she wrote. They decide to lock up the painting and call everyone to tell them Judge Drakul was an imposter and that non-Judge people don't have the right to enforce laws, so all the recently convicted people should be let go because it wasn't Judge Drakul sentencing them. 
To try to get the person out of the painting they cut it. A dead body comes out. They stick the book on the painting because the magic professor told them maybe there's a key to get inside. They go inside the painting and get attacked by a variety of things, find the unconscious Judge Drakul and other blue dragonborn people, drag them out of the painting, and then get attacked by the magical construct undead dragon woman who was living in the painting and impersonating Judge Drakul all this time, but because they're in jail cell they just go outside the jail cell and throw javelins inside until the undead dragon suddenly poofed into becoming two ruby eye gems.
