* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: In-universe, the Keshians won't question how their goddess used to talk but the more metropolitan Conan catches Muriela's Corinthian accent which breaks the illusion.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Threatened.GambitPileup: Conan's serving as a military advisor to learn the location of and steal the Teeth of Gwahlur. Thutmekri the Stygian arrives to promise a military alliance with Zembabwei, asking only for a few of the Teeth as a symbol of the alliance. This is a ploy to learn their location and steal them, ostensibly for the Zembabweians, really for himself. Muriela is caught in the middle, first told by her master to tell the Keshan priests to give the gems to the Stygian and kill Conan, then told by Conan to tell the priests to give the gems to Conan and kill the Stygian. A Keshia priest in league with Thutmekri undoes this prophecy by stealing Yelaya's body and delivering the original fake one while decrying the other fake one. And then there's servants of Bit-Yakin, who rather forcefully insist these outsiders get off their lawn.

While working as a [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands military liaison]] in Keshan, Conan hears of the legendary Teeth of Gwahlur, a set of jewels more valuable than any other know to man, kept far away in the abandoned city of Alkmeenon, and overseen by an immortal goddess. Setting out to find them, Conan comes upon a mummy on the side of a cliff with a parchment in its hand. Conan can make out the words "Bit-Yakin", a powerful wizard who used to live in the abandoned city with his mysterious servants.
While in the city, Conan experiences a number of [[ContrivedCoincidence accidents]] which lead him to believe he is not alone. He then stumbles upon what appears to be the goddess, only for it to be a slave girl, Muriela, in disguise, working for an old rival of his. Turns out Conan is not the only one after the jewels, and after a number of [[GambitPileup crosses and double crosses]] it's a race to see who will get to the jewels first.
