Description
Messantia, Capital of Argos, has held some interesting times but circumstances change and now it is time to leave. Quickly. The next high tide offers passage to Zingara, whilst the waterfront taverns offer you safe haven for the night. Stygia, the evil, brooding Empire of the South. A black hearted wizard seeks to summon forth powers long passed from the memory of man. And in the West an ancient King awaits vengence on his treacherous Queen... Conan - Beneath The Sands of Stygia is set in Robert E Howards world of Hyboria. The module contains an adaptation of CN1 'Conan the Buccaneer', elements of CB2 'Conan Against Darkness', both from TSR and new content drawn from the Conan saga.
Hey so far i enjoyed the module, even if it needs some touches like conan music. I'm kinda stuck in the city of kings : i found the crown and the history book but now? I read that there's another book to get but where?? I roamed the city all over and i didn't find nothing. can someone plz give me a hint? Thx!!

Thanks for that! a) Damn! Went back later and found it myself before you replied. b) Damn! Hey, I'm playing Conan The Barbarian! Of course I want to kill the Thing! But I suppose there are some things Man (and barbarian) is not meant to know...or kill... Anyway, is it my fault the Priesthood turn nasty when I enter their temple? I had the Priest Cloak and Ring, and Juma was dressed as a Stygian Guard--they should have welcomed us with open arms!! THEN we should have butchered them! It's the Conan thing to do! c) Still no luck with that. d) There was nothing in the sarcophagi and the big nasty one would neither open nor allow itself to be bashed. e) I'm sure there were others, but no big deal. f) Yes, there was an f)!! I just forgot. There is a secret door visible from one corridor away in the final complex. Can it be reached? Thanks, Thad "Kill Them All" Leaf

Thanks for the comments Thaddeus. To answer your questions:- SPOILERS............... a)As you enter Khemi there is a long, wide street heading towards the river Styx. On your left is a normal street running along the side of the temple. House at the end. b)I see, not content with butchering your way through the Set's Temple in the Holy city and killing the High Priest, you now want to take on an Elder Demon from the Outer Dark. Couldn't be content with looting the artifacts, you wish to slay a being that was old when the Serpent Folk hissed their worship on pre-human Thuria. Not in this adventure laddy. (maybe some time in the future...) c) The Seer at the oasis is in on of the tents. The transition is not a door so you may need to hover the cursor near the bottom of the door way. d) No, nothing to do with it. Go in to the tomb of the sand lich and find a room with six coffins in. Examine them. Should be obvious from here onwards. e) If you are talking about the city of the King then this is intentional and is intended to represent the largely ruined and deserted city. Music - yes the Conan music is excellent. Didn't add it as it already has been done but mostly to keep the d/l size down (Broadband in UK is way over priced thanks to the healthy telecom monopoly) Rob

****SPOILERS!!*** Just completed the mod. Really enjoyed it. It needs the Conan music, though! Just a few questions:- a) Where does Ctesiphon hang out? b) I presume the Thing cannot be killed!!! c) Where is the Priest in the oasis? I couldn't enter any tents other than that of the Zuagir Chief. d) How do you lay the Zuagir Bones to rest? I presume it has something to do with c) above. e) There seemed to be a lot of openable doors but with no transitions. Look forward to the next one.
