4-5 Players 1 Crow
For months, the pirate ship Tigress has been scouring the waters off the coasts of Stygia and the Black Kingdoms and preying on the profitable trade of gold and ivory, much to the displeasure of King Ctesphon. As the Stygian fleet seems unable to put an end to the piracy, the king has promised a colossal sum to whomever can bring back Bêlit’s head.
With Bêlit’s vessel anchored to resupply and a large portion of the crew on shore, Zaporavo, the Zingaran captain of The Vandal, takes the opportunity to attack in hopes of claiming the enormous reward and the glory that accompanies it.
Supported by a row of archers and the black magic of Skuthus, a Stygian necromancer sent by Ctesphon, the Zingaran mercenary and his troops quickly gain a foothold on the deck of the Tigress. Only Conan, Shevatas, and a handful of remaining warriors can come to Bêlit’s aid.
