"The Wrath of Crom" featuring Conan the Barbarian
*Conan is on a raid into Hyperboria, to free Cimmerian women recently raided from a neighboring village. Conan is trusted by the village's headsman, Eamon, to lead the mission, but he doesn't have everyone's confidence. Among his party are a young boy and his sorcerous grandfather. When the rescue is close to abject failure, the old man's magics succeed in calling down Crom. *Source: Warlock
