Beauty and Death: Opening Act Ashaf and Guideau intercept and stop an undead on a rampage, who appears to have not been "maintained" by his necromancer. Ashaf calls in the Order's necromancy specialists, Phanora Kristoffel, accompanied by her servant, Johan. When Sergeant Jeff Enker explains that six undeads have recently gone out of control, Phanora suspects an unauthorized necromancer is responsible. Meanwhile, Phanora has activated a special lantern to attract the undeads, and about forty of them converge on their location. She transfers the light to Johan, attracting the undeads to him so that he becomes their target and he is forced to kill them. Phanora, Johan, and Enker retrace the Undeads' footsteps to a mansion in the forest, where they are confronted by undeads under the necromancer's control, including Enker's dead fiancée. One undead slits Johan's throat, forcing Phanora to enter the building and confront the necromancer to save him.
