The rain had slackened to a drizzle. The moon, now nearly overhead, showed intermittent beams again. Looking down from the parapet that bounded the terrace, Conan found a place where the exterior carvings., together with climbing vines, provided means of descent. With the lithe grace of an ape, he lowered himself hand over hand down the weirdly carven facade.
Now the moon glazed out in full glory (теперь луна блистала во всей славе / красоте), lighting the courtyard below where the Stygians' horses stood tethered (освещая внутренний двор внизу, где лошади стигийцев стояли привязанными;

Now the moon glazed out in full glory, lighting the courtyard below where the Stygians' horses stood tethered, moving and whinnying uneasily at the sounds of mortal combat that came from the great hall. Over the roar of battle sounded screams of agony as man after man was torn limb from limb.
Conan dropped, landing lightly on the earth of the courtyard (Конан прыгнул вниз, легко приземлившись на землю внутреннего двора). He sprinted for the great black mare that had belonged to the leader of the slavers (он бросился к большой черной кобыле, которая принадлежала предводителю работорговцев). He would have liked to linger to loot the bodies, for he needed their armor and other supplies (он бы хотел задержаться, чтобы ограбить тела, так как он нуждался в их доспехах и других припасах). The mail shirt he had worn as Belit's piratical partner had long since succumbed to wear and rust (кольчуга, /которую/ он носил, как пират, партнер Белит, уже давно поддалась износу и рже), and his flight from Bamula had been too hasty to allow him to equip himself more completely (а его побег из Бамулы был слишком поспешен, /чтобы/ позволить ему экипироваться более основательно). But no force on earth could have drawn him into that hall (но никакая сила на земле /не/ могла бы затащить его в тот зал), where a horror of living death still stalked and slew (где ужас живой смерти все еще вышагивал и убивал).

As the young Cimmerian untethered the horse he had chosen (когда молодой Конан отвязал лошадь, /которую/ он выбрал), a screaming figure burst from the entrance and came pelting across the courtyard toward him (вопящая фигура внезапно появилась от входа и бросилась: «пришла бросаясь» к нему). Conan saw that it was the man who had stood the first sentry-go (Конан увидел, что это был мужчина, который стоял первым в карауле;
