Synopsis

Conan looks for his friend Fafnir after the city of Makkalet is taken.
Fafnir has been dragged from the water, but has lost an arm, and Conan
keeps vigil over his friend’s sleeping body. This is interrupted,
however, with a mission from Balthaz, who takes Conan and a few others
into the town. A few random encounters with guards hinders their
progress towards the temple, but they finally make it inside. Conan is
seperated from the Turanians, and while he roams the hallways, Balthaz
and his men make their way to the roof and light a signal for Yezdigerd.
However, Balthaz’s men are suddenly and mysteriously slaughtered.
Meanwhile, Conan encounters a young woman, who calls herself Caissa,
inside the temple, as well as Kharam-Akkad, who lets loose a skeletal
warrior after Conan. The battle carries outside the room, and Conan
realizes smashing a mirror will destroy the beast, as he knows from the
previous day’s battle the wizard Kharam-Akkad’s use of mirrors in his
magics. Inside the room, however, it is revealed that Caissia is queen
of Makkalet, and she begins to berate Kharam for hiding the statue of
Tarim, the object of worhsip Yezdigerd desperately wants. Conan finds a
mirrored room containing the statue, but falls through a trapdoor and
confronts the Black Hound. Conan mangesto choke the great beast with its
own chains and kills the creature. Conan stumbles away, weak and
injured, back to the ships of Yezdigerd, only to find that Balthaz has
already fled back and ordered all the dead, including Fafnir, who
Balthaz knew was not deceased, thrown overboard. Conan calmly walks over
to the arrogant Balthaz, and swiftly pulls out Balthaz’s sword and
stabs him in the heart. Yezdigerd calls for Conan’s death, but the
Cimmerian slaughters a good portion of the army before he gets to the
prince himself, and slashes at him, scarring the royal face, before
diving into the ocean.

Synopsis

Conan washes up on the docks of Makkalet and, in hopes of extracting information, is brought by the soldier Khurusan before the king. Conan explains his situation, and King Eannatum, amused, decides to let Conan work for him. Conan is sent to recruit the help of the queen’s father, and, after Melissandra gives him a rune-carved armlet, Conan, Khurusan, and several other soldiers ride from town. They encounter Turnaina troops attempting to blockade the roads leading from town, but break free. They come to an altar made of towering obelisks and, to Conan’s surprise, kill its caretaker, a blind hermit. The soldiers then beat Conan into unconsciousness and tie him and the hermit’s daughter to the altar, intending to sacrifice him, which has been their intention all along. Khurusan then kills the other soldiers to leave no witnesses. He starts the ritual and kills the girl, and a humanoid toad-like monster materializes on top of an obelisk. Conan manages to break his bonds and scrambles away, but the toad-creature follows. Conan realizes that the armlet is calling to the creature and tosses it to a surprised Khurusan. The creature pounces on and devours the solider, then vanishes. Conan decides, since he gave his word, to continue his journey to recruit soldiers for Makkalet’s cause.
