At the Afterlife Tavern, the human boss reprimands his spectral head chef, Tim, for threatening customers, a group of soldiers called the Iron Squad and Cindy, a councilor's daughter from another sanctuary. The boss sees Cindy as a wealthy opportunity to fill his empty treasury and orders his chef to the kitchen, then invites the shaken visitors to stay. The soldiers, detecting two B-level specters and realizing the staff are also specters, try to leave, claiming urgent business. The boss blocks their exit, refusing to let them depart without settling their bill.
