The rumor spreads quickly amongst the thieves of Asgalun: The Vandal has made port in Pelishtim and its captain, Zaporavo, has found a copy of the texts of Vathelos the Blind. Legends tell that the texts contain secrets to opening the doors to the shimmering dome that looms above the ancient ruins of Kuthchemes in the vast deserts of south-western Shem.
“The promise of fabulous treasure for whomever has the courage to claim the text,” recites Shevatas, king of the thieves of Zamora. The words echo in Conan’s ears as the two men meet at the inn where Zaporavo is staying. Their plan is simple: wait until nightfall, find where the texts are hidden, and claim the texts and the treasure for themselves.
Celebration fills the air as the crew of The Vandal crowds the inn, spending loot on alcohol and women. But the crewmen are soon joined by Shemite soldiers, whom Zaporavo has paid off to watch his back.
When Zaporavo realizes the identity of the pair of newcomers, the inn turns into a death trap.
