In this chapter, we learn that the Kingdom of Falmuth is in danger of being taken over by the new demon lord, who will use it as a base from which to launch his attack on the rest of the world. In order to counter this threat, Falstaff and his men will have to engage in a combat of wits with the three lycanthropes. Falstaff tells the men that he has placed a magic circle in front of them so that they will notice him. He tells them that he will use the circle to cause the lycantthropes to falter. He says that he can do this by causing them to look away from the flash, which is the first thing they do when they see a flash. He also says that they have lost the battle, but that they may try him if he has a special magic that they can use. He asks if the men are awake, and they reply that they are. He then asks if they were planning to kill each other. They say that they were on a vacation, and Falstaff wonders if they are joking. He decides to kill one of the men one day.
