That bearded Aesir -- besieged by a trio of yapping foes! No affair of mine. I've done my day's work for Aesir gold. Still, why should one lion die -- and three jackals live? By Crom! They should not --! And, by Crom -- they shall not!!
Yes, thralls... you are free now, and long may you remains so. But let your legends say of this day that a king led you to victory... and that his name was Kiord. For he was the last of the manlings -- but first among... men.
...There's nothing we can't conquer... together! We'll have our feet on a ship's deck before the Styhians open their ports for the trading season... and then, by Crom-- we'll show the world what plundering means!
I failed her... and I'll bear forever a burden far heavier than any dark god. Still, she shall sleep in her own land... not in the soil of this cold uncaring isle.
Open the gate! Open the gate I say! Must blood flow beneath the door planks before you'll stir off your rumps!!
I came to Argos to fight your wars for you -- but, by Crom, if there are no wars to fight -- I'll start some of my own!!
I'll give you but a moment to pray to [your gods] to receive your lice-ridden soul -- provided you believe in them at all.
These Stygians! They make my skin crawl, with their worship of a snake-god. And the way this one slew himself pushing himself on my blade! I might fall in battle rather than surrender -- but damn if I'd take my own life!
Blood -- dripping from beneath my loin-cloth! Did that jackal wound me there without my feeling it -- or is the cause -- something else??
Bêlit -- you've earned yonder crown, for sure -- but, are you certain you want to become queen of this fickle populace?
Hmmm...I think I am not the "Amra" you remember, old man -- but I recall hearing of you -- a witch-finder of some repute in times past!
You're not the ones I want -- though I want to slay a thousand of you! Where is your leader? Where is the ape that flies like a vulture? WHERE IS THE MONSTER THAT SLEW MY MATE??
No answer, eh? Then, by all the gods from here to Hyperborea -- I'll answer my own question for you: NONE!
Curse you, witch! You've cost me ten thousand pieces of -- No! There may still [be] a way to pull this iron from the fire with some temper left to it!
...A pity I can say the same for this poor horse. The rock thing's blow killed it. We'll have to go the rest of the way on foot.
Dukenrik! I'm trapped 'neath this mess -- you're the only one near enough -- you must run him through!
Wait! Do you hear it? That eerie laughter again -- but it's closer this ti -- what in the seven hells?
Easy, princess, everything is all right now. I'm here to free you...I'm only glad I'm not too -- late! Crom!
JACKAL! DOG! I've risked life and limb for you and that child -- and this is how you repay me? By Crom, I'll have your skull.
My life is for me to give -- not for you to take. And -- I do not choose to give it. Yet, perhaps men shall sing one last song of boastful Gondur. If so, they'll say he was the first man of the Vanir to fall before the slicing sword of... Conan the Cimmerian!
We'll have to leave the horses -- and bank on stealing new ones where and when we land! Move your tails, you five-toed sloths!
Now do you see what you and that silver-haired fool have wrought, woman? The Devourer has returned to the world -- and he cares not if the soul he consumes is Kothian or Argossean or Zamboulan!
Barkeep! A man's been killed since I ordered that Sultanapur Sling. Does there have to be another slaying, before I get it?
Follow Lord Thun'da, brothers! Ride in and slay-- --and burn-- --and slay again-- --until no one-- --is left to slay! NO ONE!!
I don't belong anywhere. Not for long at least. If I want a home, I'll have to make it for myself. With my own bloody hands. And the weapons they're holding. I'll find my own way across the river, Shaman. I always have.
Let me buy these people from you. That is a bargain for this amulet of power. Take it or I shall run you through.
The hill code is well known far and wide. It says a hetman must fight any man who challenges him before the assembled tribe. Well, Pakim? What do you say?
I bargain with neither man nor monster! Release my friend, Shuma-Gorath! Release him, or I will kill you again!
Huhn. So, we meet once again, Shuma-Gorath... You are smaller and weaker and deader than when I last saw you.
Do not taunt me in my dreams-- Face me, Kulan Gath! Then we shall see who will be flung upon the pyre.
A good sword is like a fine horse. The man who treats it with care... will outlive the fool who doesn't. remember that, Conn.
Like I said-- same old Son-ya! By the way, did I tell you I like your armor-- what little there is of it?Conan
Would Crom think I'm weak for carrying my dead family 'round for the last month?
Fear is a strong word. Let's just say I've noticed you. You were to kill the boy, and then I was to kill you, but you've really made a mess of matters.
