5 Campaign Players
Riding flat out on the Road of Kings, Conan asks questions about Constantius and his convoy to the men laboring in the fields, to talkative boozers in the inns and to the merchants he meets on the way.
The mercenaries finally catch up with the Kothian bandit shortly after the mountainous foothills of the kingdom of Corinth, which naturally delimit the border with Zamora. Constantius and his men are staying in an inn and so it is quite natural that Conan and his companions decided to stay there as mere travelers.
After an investigation as rapid as it is discreet, the Cimmerian finds no trace of Flavia; but it would seem that the Kothian does not only enrich himself with kidnapping princesses. A dark and terrifying aberration of nature, smelling of sulfur and smoke, is chained in the cellar of the establishment. It is obviously drugged with Black Lotus to keep it quiet before being sold to some evil sorcerer.
Conan can take it no longer, persuaded that the Kothian has taken Flavia to the slave market of Shadizar the Perverse, it is with steel in his hand that he leaves in search of an answer.

Campaign Results
Heroes’ Victory: The Kothian lies on the ground, defeated, bathed in blood. Scarlet froth spills from his mouth when he explains to the Cimmerian that Flavia is going to serve a greater purpose that that of showing the guests of a Zamorian brothel or the inner circles of a Turanian governor a good time. He reveals that the princess was sold to Khosatral Khel and breathes his last breath telling the heroes that the answers to Conan’s questions can be found in a chest traded to the Picts by an accomplice.
The heroes’ side earns 1 victory point.
The next scenario to be played is scenario 8, “The Treasure Chest”.
Overlord’s Victory: As Constantius is escaping, he reveals with a sardonic laugh that the princess was sold to a man named Khosatral Khel, but it is too late to help her. Devastated, the mercenaries decide to return westwards in search of new clues.
The Overlord’s side earns 1 victory point.
The next scenario to be played is scenario 9, “The Woman Who Never Dies”.
