"Rogues in the House"
Part Two, "The Talons of Thak"
Conan is nervous after his sacking of the Temple of Anu, and he has a right to be. His companion Jenna has sold him out and drugged him. Conan finds himself in the dungeon, but is soon approached by a nobleman who will give him his freedom in exchange for Conan's assassination of the Red Priest.
Conan has little choice, so he escapes, settles with Jenna, and steals into the home of the Red Priest, only to find that the Priest keeps odd house pets. One of these pets is Thak, the Man-Ape with killer instincts and delusion of grandeur.
