Under the leadership of the Chief Archer, the Archers and Spearmen celebrate their victory while their prisoners languish. The Counselor's Son introduces his diabolical creation, a machine that grinds bones with the magical ore to unleash the destructive power of fire.

The scene changes, we are now inside the den of the Archers. A battalion of spearmen in ranks perform a synchronized dance to demonstrate their deadly prowess. We meet the Chief Archer and begin to sense the uneasy power balance that he shares with the Evil Counselor. We are also introduced to the Chief Archer's daughter who is the object of every Archer's desire including the Counselor's Son. She spurs the attention of the men and relishes in the role of “daddy's little girl”. Meanwhile, the Counselor's Son demonstrates a model of the Death Machine that he has designed to refine the rare mineral that the Archers mine into a powerful explosive compound that can be used to kill and destroy all that stand in the Archers' path to conquest of the world.
