Jof, injured, comes back. Mia takes care of him. Jof and Block discuss the plague. Mia brings out a fresh bowl of strawberries. The Knight seems relaxed, content, and enjoys the special treat of strawberries and milk.
Death suddenly appears at the encampment.
They resume their game, and the balance between them is the fate of Jof and Mia. Block realizes that he is playing with Death so that Jof and Mia can escape. Death knows this. The squire comes across Plog at the tavern. He has lost his wife.
