This scene begins with Musa and Lamboi depicted conversing. Lamboi, Mama Yoko's brother, is asking Musa to help murder Gbanya because he is a weak monarch. Musa is reluctant at first: "I am not a giver of life so I cannot take it," he tells Lamboi. Another excuse that Ngo Musa gives for hesitating to murder or poison Gbanya is that they both belong to the same secret society: "You are a Poro man, I am a Poro man, and he is also a Poro man, How then can I do that to him?" From his speech, it is revealed that Lamboi fears his sister. Mama Yoko, so much. He sees her as an ambitious woman who would stop at nothing to be king. It is also shown that Lamboi does not believe in female leadership. He believes that the times demand that the kingdom be governed by a man, as women are soft. He fears that Gbanya would hand over the chiefdom to Mama Yoko because he loves her so much.

Lamboi goes on to say that Gbanya's undoing was the Caulker's Campaign (war) and that it was ill-advised by Mama Yoko, while he, Lamboi, had kicked against it. This might actually be a lie because when Lamboi wants to swear on the Poro about this fact to Musa, he refuses to complete the statement. When Musa claims that he has never killed a man, Lamboi dares him to swear by Poro. Of course, Musa refuses as he knows the consequences if he dares swear in falsehood. This informs the proverb told by Lamboi: "A mad man may eat his own shit, but will never play with fire ...”. In the end, Lamboi has to blackmail Musa, revealing how Musa killed Yattah's son and Mama Kodi's daughter and used their blood for his bofina, medicine or magic. This blackmail works because Musa quickly relents and decides to comply with Lambol's wishes,
