Synopsis
A Lord chooses to end his day at the Boar's Wallow Inn, unaware he is spied on by plotting bandits who are planning on robbing all in the inn. Unfortunately for the bandits, Conan rides hard to the inn and, as the exhausted horse dies, demands a room and a quiet night's sleep. Conan is not too tired to forget to throw some caltrops on the floor of his room, and his cautious actions are rewarded when a bandit, sneaking into through his window, steps on the barbs, alerting Conan. Pissed off, Conan bursts in on the innkeeper to demand a quiet night, and he finds the innkeeper and the Lord at the mercy of the bandits. Conan isn't too tired to teach the bandits a lesson, and when the Lord asks Conan what he can do for him, all Conan requests is a good night's sleep. So the Lord has his men kill all the roosters so they won't crow in the morning, and Conan manages to get his rest.
