by Ken Rolston

Thoth-Amon, the greatest living sorcerer of the Hyborian Age, threatens the peace of Aquilonia. His tragic mistake is that he threatens Conan also, for Conan is now King of this mighty land. Conan and his companions, Pelias, Prospero, and Nzinga journey across the plains of Shem and Stygia to test their will and power against this wicked sorcerer. Battle with them to conquer the evil forces that endanger their land!

[Louis Norton · Rating 2 out of 5]

This module is unusual, it is basically a series of encounters that are explicitly "on rails"; you can insert things inbetween the encounters but the party should go through them in linear order. While the PCs in the module are very strong, the enemies are generally even tougher and healing is scarce (although at least there is one magical healing source in this Conan module). There is also an encounter with an elemental that apparently can only be hurt by two of the characters. The very high difficulty level and the relative lack of choice bring this module down to two stars, however it was still an interesting read and the individual encounters do have some creativity.
