Stories

The Black Hound of Vengeance! · 20 pages
Conan and Fafnir serve aboard a ship from Turan, just outside the city of Makkalet. Conan infiltrates the Temple of Tarim in order to kidnap the living god Tarim, but he fails, kills a black hound and flees. Fafnir has lost his arm in battle and is thrown overboard by Balthaz to drown because he is already as good as dead. Angry, Conan kills Balthaz and flees Yezdigerd's ship.
