Synopsis[]

Conan and Sonja are in the midst of a "friendly" swordfight. Conan, and perhaps Sonja, keep imagining what would happen when Conan wins (and it involves some hot, hot barbarian loving). Conan had rode into their camp after hearing rumors that Sonja was uniting local thieves. He offers a bag of gold if she defeats him, and fully intends to take her up on her vow to be taken by the first man who defeats her in battle. The two spar, somewhat half-heatedly, when Conan takes the game a little to far by pinning her down with him on top. Sonja gets a second wind and sounly defeats Conan, who offers his bag of gold. Sonja refuses, saying that he just doesn't understand. Conan, extremely confused about women, rides away.
