== Plot Summary ==
Armando, Maeve, and Bartholomew all wake up in a doctor’s waiting room. A door with a bright light opens for them. Inside is a robed figure clacking away at a keyboard. They introduce themself as Death, and explain to the party that they died in an explosion caused by Maeve using a fireball on some rats in a cellar filled with barrels of gunpowder. Death offers them a contract that gives them a second chance at life. Once the party signs, they’re sent off into the Underworld, a city inhabited by those whose souls have yet to cross over. They’re instructed to seek out a ferryman who can cross them back into the world of the living.
While exploring the Underworld, they come across a bazaar. Armando happens to run into his parents, who hurl insults his way upon meeting him again. Maeve retaliates by punching his father and sassing his mother. She convinces his mother to offer up her hat in exchange for some liquor. Armando is grateful for Mauve’s actions, and the party heads to the nearby river. There they meet the ferryman, who asks for silver in exchange for passage to the living world. Bartholomew offers his silver bullets as payment, but the ferryman explains that it isn’t the right kind of silver. Perplexed, Bartholomew attempts to bribe the ferryman with his magazine, which works in his favor. The party then begins their voyage back to the living world.
While on the river, the party fights off skeletal fish that attack them. Afterwards, the ferryman guides them through an archway illuminated with light that transports them back to the living world. They appear back in the basement where they died, however they return as ghosts separated from their bodies, which are nowhere to be seen. Nulisag and the home’s owner, Nanny Flops McGee, are discussing how to cover her insurance. Armando gets the idea of possessing Nulisag’s body to ask the old woman about where their bodies are. The party learns that their bodies are being prepared for a funeral at the FBK guildhall. The three manage to reach their bodies before they’re lost for good, and raise themselves from the dead!
