Valeria predicament

[kintire]

yes a reasonable fighter in comparison to normal Warriors

I think you underestimate her...

this was Valeria of the Red Brotherhood, whose deeds are celebrated in song and ballad wherever seafarers gather.

She killed the first who came within reach before he could strike a blow, her long straight blade splitting his skull even as his own sword lifted for a stroke. She side-stepped a thrust, even as she parried a slash. Her eyes danced and her lips smiled without mercy. Again she was Valeria of the Red Brotherhood, and the hum of her steel was like a bridal song in her ears.

Valeria brought into action a finesse of swordplay that dazzled and bewildered her antagonists before it slew them. Again and again a warrior, heaving high his heavy blade, found her point in his jugular before he could strike. Conan, towering above the field, strode through the welter smiting right and left, but Valeria moved like an illusive phantom, constantly shifting, and thrusting and slashing as she shifted. Swords missed her again and again as the wielders flailed the empty air and died with her point in their hearts or throats, and her mocking laughter in their ears.

She'll be fine!

I feel Conan would never have left her, not unless he escorted her to safty and by that I mean taking her to Zabhela itself not leaving her with a once friendly Tribe that as soon as he gone turn her into a slave! Has any written a story about this Woman, or mentioned her again in other Conan/Hyboria Novels ?

So questions are:

1: Any ideas on what Conan would do to help Valeria escape the Black Kingdoms ?

He probably escorted her to the coast, or put her with a caravan bound for the coast, or a caravan bound for Turan, Iranistan or Shem... or she died.

2: Are there anymore stories with Valeria in it, apart from the Film story based idea ?

Yes. Marvel Comics had several stories with her. Also, Roland Green wrote a sequel to "Red Nails" called "Conan and the Gods of the Mountain" in 1983. Marvel adapted this novel into comics form in Savage Sword of Conan issues 211-217.

3: Who is this Red Ortho fellow and is there stats for him and does he again appear in other stories ?

This is the only mention of him that I know of within the canon. IIRC, Marvel wrote some back up features starring Valeria in Savage Sword of Conan, but I don't remember if any of them feature Red Ortho.
