I'm not particularly sure what's occurring in the first panel, there's an obvious witch/genie type character perhaps casting a spell upon the rooster who's sitting on top of a crystal ball or giving into it or something; and what looks like another character bowing down in the background after having come down the stairs or dead.
On the second one, it seems like an angel/gryphon person has come to meet a woman(possibly the one from the previous panel), presumably on her death bed, although where she rests looks more like a dinner table with a chandelier above her.
On the third panel it looks like this angel/gryphon type being is meeting a woman's soul/ghost as it leaves her recently deceased body that lies in her coffin at the bottom of the panel, while the night watchman has discovered that her cask has been open or tampered with.
Once again not really positive on what's occurring in the fourth panel, but it looks like the angel type character is proposing something to someone in greater authority while there are nude slave women or servants lounging in their presence, possibly for entertainment?
The fifth panel depicts a man having been most likely murdered after having been woken from sleep. The man in the right doorway was either the murderer or a bystander that has walked in the room to discover the dead person. I think the roosters have come to symbolize death in these works. It may even be a precursor to the first 4 panels, and that isn't actually a man at all, maybe it's showing how the woman in the beginning panels came to her death.
In the last panel, it seems like a young couple of people are waking from a rest or possibly just interacting in their home, and this rooster/gryphon of death is creeping upon them both and I think this is even a prequel to the panel even before it... she may have committed some sort of sin with the male and it isn't "their" house at all. This would tie everything else together in a way.
