Smelling a trap during a meeting with pirates from the Baracha islands, Conan flees Tortage, joining Captain Zaporavo and the crew of The Vandal. Soon, his personality and sailing prowess make him popular with the crew, and his leadership gains him the attention of Sancha, the Zingaran mercenary’s favorite.
Zaporavo remains wary of the Cimmerian, who he now sees as a rival. But the time is not right to settle scores as the sails of an Argosian merchant vessel appear on the horizon. The Vandal’s crew sets upon its prey, and the merchant ship offers little resistance. With the captured vessel intact, Zaporavo sets sail to the nearest Zingaran port, hoping to profit as much from the ship itself as from its cargo.
Aboard the Argosian ship and flanked by crew members loyal to him, Conan seizes the opportunity and incites a mutiny, hoping to take the ship and strike The Vandal while it is weakened.
