I can take you in hot, or I can take you in cold.

Zog was an Orc, a bounty hunter, and a very good one at that. He had tracked down and captured many fugitives, criminals, and enemies of the Empire. He was feared and respected by his peers and his prey alike. He was big, strong, green, and wore armor that had seen its share of battles. He carried a massive axe, a crossbow, and a dagger. He also had a keen sense of smell, a sharp eye, and a cunning mind.

Zog’s latest target was a human named Rolf, a notorious thief who had stolen a valuable artifact from the Imperial Museum. Rolf had fled to the borderlands, hoping to escape the Empire’s wrath. But Zog had followed his trail, using his contacts, his instincts, and his nose. He had finally cornered Rolf in a small town, where he had rented a room in a shabby inn.
