(Savage Sword of Conan#128 (fb) - BTS) - Vlad and his fellows, ambushed a little party escorting a beautiful woman. She was Amardin, the wife of Tem, master of the assassins, but they didn't know it. They succeeded in kidnapping her and wanted to have fun with the wench.

(Savage Sword of Conan#128) - Unfortunately for them, while passing through a forest they met a barbarian without horse, and Nassar insulted the "smelly northener", so he was called by Vlad.
    Immediately after, the barbarian, who actually was Conan, ambushed the group, eliminating also Alcazar, Vincenzo and the last of Vlad's men. Conan asked for Vlad's horse. Vlad refused, but a strike of Amardin's elbow got him off the horse and Conan kicked him in the dust before running away with Amardin.

Nassar

    Nassar was a rogue and presumptuous.

    When Nassar saw Conan, recognizing him as a northener, he labeled him as "smelling", "illiterate" et cetera. Conan, who needed a horse, and had guessed Amardin's situation, ambushed Nassar first. Nassar screamed.
