With his hand firmly gripping the hilt of his sword, Conan wanders through the long dark tunnel that twists before him. He does not know how he got here. He vaguely remembers that he and his men, completely exhausted, had set up a rough camp in order to rest a little, and he had taken the first watch. He remembers a strange haze falling without warning on the encampment, then nothing, oblivion.
The Cimmerian emerges into a vast room with walls made of polished black marble arches and furnished in the style of Ancient Stygians. The place is lit by a candelabrum with black candles; the atmosphere oozes evil and perversion. There, an imposing monolith as black as the room stands with a text engraved at its center.
(See page x The Legend of the Devil in Iron)
A young girl with a voluptuous body and ivory-like skin stands at the foot of the enormous stone, her black hair cascading over her bare shoulders. When she speaks, her curled lips reveal her white, pointed teeth, “I am Akivasha. I am the woman who never died, never aged. Come closer Barbarian, come and join the horde of darkness, for soon the Master of the Abyss will allow us to stride across this earth such as gods!”
While a mocking laugh as sweet and poisonous as the vials of hell bursts out of this foul creature, the veil of reality that surrounds the Cimmerian tears away leaving the decrepit building which he finds his men.
It is time to fight to prevent this waking nightmare from becoming their tomb.

Special Rules
Akivasha: In this scenario Akivasha does not have Attack from Beyond but she does have Protected.
Invocating the creature:
The Overlord chooses a Bossonian Guards
or Archers Unit tile from their river.
All the models of that tile are sacrificed and removed from the game, this
is the blood price demanded by Set. The Overlord removes the Event tile from
the game. The first tile of the Gray Man-Ape
replaces the sacrificed Unit tile and the second one is placed at the end of
the river. The Gray Man-Ape’s model is placed in one of the sacrificed model’s
area. Each sacrificed model adds 3 life points to the Gray Man-Ape’s Life
Point marker
on the according position of the turn track.
Destruction of the Chest:
At the start of each turn of the Overlord, after the Recovery phase, the
Overlord rolls 
.
The number of successes indicates which chest the Overlord will destroy
(0, 1, or 2). If the result designates two chests the Overlord chooses
which chest will be destroyed. The Overlord may use the Reroll benefit.
The Overlord then removes the chest token from the board and secretly draws
a card from the Special Equipment deck. That Special Equipment card is
removed from the game.
Chests: During setup, the Overlord places 6 chests on the board as indicated by the setup diagram. The Overlord randomly removes 3 out of 9 cards in the Special Equipment deck to form a deck for the chests.
