The muscles of the gnarled and tanned arms of the Cimmerian swell as he pulls on the oars to approach the small craft to the shore of the island of Xapur.
Once landed, the men take the steps carved out of rock and quickly reach the steep cliffs that dominate over the sea. Once the curtain of vegetation has been crossed, they realize that the mysterious ruins that give its name to the island have disappeared, yielding their place to a large dark green wall sheltering cyclopean buildings and towers rising vertiginously toward the sky.
Dagonia is being resurrected through a strange and incomprehensible magic. Thanks to the blood of Flavia, the distant descendant of the last Dagonians, Khosatral Khel can completely unleash his power and enslave much more that just Xapur!
The mercenaries rush to the center of the city and see Flavia in a critical situation. She lies wounded and bleeding at the feet of the Devil in Iron, whose shoulders span is just as monstrous as the impressive muscles of his limbs. He is dressed in sandals, a skirt and a large grainy leather belt. His square-cut hair is held back by a golden ring while a dark fire seems to consume the eyes of a face devoid of weakness and pity.
The sacrifice has begun, but there is still time to save the Argosian princesses and to send the vile being back to the abyss that it should never have left. For that, the heroes will need to confront the nightmarish shadow that is growing ever bigger in front of them. A terrifying form generated from the pits of hell and whose sight could freeze with terror even the intrepid Cimmerian.
At this moment, taken over by an uncontrollable fury, Conan releases all the ferocity of the barbarian that he never ceased to be.

Campaign Results
Heroes’ Victory:
(Flavia saved and Khosatral Khel dead)
Conan and his companions have triumphed. The Devil in Iron has been
returned to the Abyss and the resurrected city of Dagonia has disappeared.
Only the ancient ruins that lend the name of fortress to the island of
Xapur remain. Flavia is safe; the mercenaries tend to their wounds as
she emerges from the mist of terror that has poisoned her mind. As
Conan helps the last Dagonian to rise in order to take her home to her
family, his blue eyes blaze once again through his black mane. The
Cimmerian barbarian no longer thinks of reward, for not all men seek
rest and peace, some are born with the spirit of the storm in their
veins, eternal messengers of violence and massacre, they know no other
way....
(Flavia saved and Khosatral Khel alive)
Flavia is safe. The mercenaries have managed to interrupt the ritual
and extract the princess from the city of Dagonia by forging a path
with their steel and blood. Their wild fight leads them to the beach
where they embark in haste. As they sail quickly away from this infernal
island, a terrible metallic cry resounds like a bronze bell from the
top of the lush cliffs. The Devil in Iron is a prisoner of his island.
Seeing the last Dagonian escape from him, he knows that it will be
impossible for him to restore his full omnipotence, his magic is already
fading. Only time now separates him from his return to the Abyss.
The heroes’ side wins the campaign.
Overlord’s Victory: Conan and his companions have not managed to get Flavia out of the clutches of Khosatral Khel. With the end of the ritual and the death of the princess, Khosatral Khel has awakened his infernal power and the rebirth of Dagonia is only the beginning of his cruel ambitions. The Devil in Iron reigns again as a living god and he plans to make the fortress of Xapur the capital of his future empire.
The Overlord’s side wins the campaign.
