Conan, following legends of this treasure, has travelled to Keshan and offered his services to train and lead Keshan’s army against their neighbour, Punt. However, Thutmekri, a Stygian rogue with similar intentions, and his Shemitish partner, Zargheba, also arrive in the country with an offer of a military alliance with another of Punt’s neighbours, Zembabwei, with some of the Teeth to seal their pact. The high priest of Keshan, Gorulga, announces that a decision on the matter can only be made after consulting Yelaya, the mummified oracle of Alkmeenon. This is all the treasure hunters require. Zargheba joins Gorulga in his expedition while Conan travels ahead of them.

Thanks to
The ambient background of the Sanctum Secorum was created using Horror Ambiance from Klankbeeld.
Sanctum Secorum’s theme music was created using Seating Incantation by Landmark Entertainment.
Thanks for the shout-out!
This is a great story!
If you happen to own a copy of Stars in the Darkness, which is reprinted in The Stars are Falling, by Purple Duck Games, the gems in Area 13a are an intentional nod to the Teeth of Gwahlur.
I suspect that the Teeth of Dahlver-Nar in the original DMG, although actual teeth, were also a nod to this story.
Thank you very much for listening, Daniel. It’s always nice to hear someone listens in, but when that someone turns out to be
an author of several awesome adventures-well it makes even more awesome!
Thanks! I am not just a listener, but an avid fan. You people out-awesome my contributions any day of the week!
Good episode.
Catching up on the last couple of episodes. Really enjoying everything you folks are putting out. I’m inspired, which I guess is your mission, so expect more artwork shortly.
