In this short scene, we are introduced to a number of characters who have appeared in the play. The first person to appear in this scene is the master of the rave, who tells the audience that the battle is about to begin. He is accompanied by the saint's sword, which he has brought with him from the Crusades. He tells the group that they should hide and wait for the battle to begin so that they can attack Berial. He also tells them that the insects are beginning to retreat from Berial's camp, and that the true power of the dark is at work. He asks the group to shut up and discuss the matter with him.
