She's a nobleman's niece, but close enough. The little girl is like her adoptive daughter, the Zingaran lady is the only one who cares about her.

Also Picts are p. much Hollywood Native Americans.

some guy is whipping a prett. lady with a whip while another guy holds gher hands and makes so she doesnt escape i guess. it looks like theyre enjoying it too much. the woman is naked she has a nice butt but i dont really like the situation shes in but i cant help but notice she has one though. also theres some side boob. im a little conflicted as this is a problematic image but she doesnt look like she has a nice body

gently caress de Camp, read the original story

Anyway the whipping scene is supposed to represent the cruelty of so-called "civilized" men. Conan is a scary dude, he'll gently caress you up if you're a grown-rear end man, but he would never beat up a little girl because he is a noble savage

If you want your books to be unproblematic then you have no business reading 1930s pulp stories

Besides that little girl isn't supposed to be sexualized, she isn't described sexually in the original story.

My favorite Conan story is Red Nails, which is where Conan and the warrior woman Valeria get trapped in a city-sized building where two factions are in the final stages of a generations-long blood feud. It's p. metal

What's your favorite, OP?

Yeah that story owns since the whole conflict doesn't have a good side and the whole bloodbath gets ended by a cranky ghost.

Lots of people like "Beyond the Black River," where Conan helps the people of an Aquilonian outpost flee a Pictish incursion. It's based on the conflicts between Indians and settlers in the pioneer days of America, so it's basically a Western in a sword-and-sorcery universe.

actually red nails is probably also my favourite for the exact reasons you said. but i guess uh if i had to choose another one it would be the god in the bowl or the tower of the elephant. i dont think they were rewritten by that de camp dude but i didnt know the treasures of tranicos was either.

i like the ones where he comes across some kind of eldritch horror and its clear that the author is trying to channel lovecraft a bit. they were in correspondence for a while right, i guess they influenced each other a bit, or maybe it just went one way. either way its cool imo, imho

It's also has the twist in which the Aquilonians get owned and basically have to give up colonizing.
