* InTheBack: Conan's concern for Valeria's safety means he forgets caution in the presence of Olmec, leading Olmec to try a lethal unarmed strike at the back of Conan's head. Because Conan is Conan, he barely evades it.

* BigDamnVillains: With Conan incapacitated and Valeria about to be sacrificed, the only thing that saves the day is the unexpected appearance of the still living Tolkemec, who immediately goes beast mode on every Tecuhltli left alive with his magic wand.

* TokenHeroicOrc: Techotl revels in violence against the Xotalanca just as much as the rest of his clan and comes off as deeply off-putting to Conan and Valeria, but he never betrays them out of gratitude for saving his life and he is eventually mortally wounded trying to stop Olmec from kidnapping Valeria. His dying act is to drag himself over to Conan and warn him about Olmec and Tascela's treachery, and his death is treated very somberly, with the narration noting how Conan and Valeria were the first people he had ever seen who weren't brainwashed the crazed blood feuds of Xuchotl and how he had felt genuine warmth and camaraderie from them.
