caught in a steel trap, watches powerlessly as Tascela proceeds with the
sacrifice of Valeria. The scene is interrupted by Tolkemec who has
returned from the catacombs, wielding a wand of terrible destructive
power. Desperate for assistance against Tolkemec, Tascela frees Conan.
Conan is able to defeat Tolkemec. Valeria, freed, avenges herself upon
Tascela with a dagger thrust to the heart.

With the last inhabitant of Xuchotl slain, Conan and Valeria depart the dead city.
