Storyline
Conan is a mercenary in the employ of King Maklos of Turbin-D'Qhat. The king sees Conan as a potential threat and makes a failed attempt at killing Conan and the other mercenaries. They flee and start a rebellion against the king. Meanwhile, Gabrelle Pok, the alchemist, plots to gain half of the kingdom. In his cellar, he has reanimated a super-strong monster made from body parts. He has also hired the dancer Trelinka to seduce Conan and drug him so that his men will think that he has gone insane and leave him.
