* AnimalisticAbomination: The creature Thoth-Amon summons is said to have an outline like a giant baboon.
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: The high priest refers to Teth-Amon's EldritchAbomination as a goblin at one point.
* TooDumbToLive: Dion, who made the deadly mistake of not only revealing that he had a "ring of good fortune" sold to him by a Shemitish thief who stole it from a sorcerer of Stygia, to a former Stygian sorcerer clearly obsessed with finding a lost RingOfPower that was stolen from him by a Shemitish thief, but actually ''showing him the goddamned ring'', which promptly gets him stabinated. Granted, the narration makes it clear that Dion was barely paying attention to Thoth-Amon's story and only perked up near the end when Thoth mentioned the ring as an afterthought, and Thoth when he realizes Dion actually has the ring and ''doesn't even know it'' is almost beside himself in rage at the sheer swinish ''[[FatIdiot stupidity]]'' of the man before murdering him.

* BloodKnight: Conan, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment quite pointedly]]. He complains that ruling a kingdom tires him in a way fighting never did, and longs for a tangible enemy instead of the faceless unrest stirring in his subjects. When outnumbered twenty-to-one and only half armoured, he goes at his assassins with everything he has -- not because he expects to survive, but because he refuses to die without giving them hell.

to:
** Dion's self-importance due to his bloodline means Ascalante can make him finance the coup by making him believe he will be put back on the throne by dynasty, in truth Ascalante will kill him after Conan in a few days.
** Volmana desires to come back in the grave of the king, being of the old regime and needing to raise his poverty-ridden estates to his former glory. He uses his connections as a noble to have Prospero and most of the guards leave on a diplomatic mission.
** Gromel wants control over the army instead of serving under the commander of the Black Dragons. Ascalante uses him as TheBrute but also as a link to corrupt an officer so at midnight the remaining guards are away.
** Rinaldo has been radicalized into seeing Conan as a tyrant and has been slandering Conan's name while glotifying the old dynasty. Ascalante mentions that the poet simply hates those currently in power and tend to see either the past or future as perfect once he "liberates" his people.

Then he decides to show the lucky charm ring he bought from a thief which is exactly Thoth-Amon's, who doesn't waste a second killing Dion.
