The exiled warlord Keldor tells his forces that he has created a device that will destroy the Mystic Wall that keeps them out of Randor's kingdom. When they get to the Mystic Wall, they trigger the device, but all it produces is a mere crack in the wall. Keldor's forces are confused, as they assumed that the device would break the wall completely, but Keldor explains that now they know where to strike. Inside the castle walls, Man at Arms receives a telepathic message from the Sorceress that the time has come.
