A few Ehn later the flames at the gate, from the bundles of brush, grass, and straw, had lessened. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 31, Sentence #36)

Through the flames into the village flew arrows, several of which found targets in the figures trying to extinguish the flames. Within the village we could hear screams of rage, terror, and pain. I had placed archers about the village, and some corsairs, trying to climb over the palisade to escape the flames, were detained by arrows and soon several bodies were wedged lifelessly between the pointed palings, and some lay outside the palisade, inert, bristling with feathered shafts. A few Ehn later the flames at the gate, from the bundles of brush, grass, and straw, had lessened. One could now wade plunging through the smoke and diminished flames. "Be ready!" I called to a platoon of archers now stationed before the gate, and two groups of swordsmen, one group to the right of the opening and the other to the left of the opening. I conjectured that the first to flee through the gate would meet arrows, and that the corsairs would then draw back, if typically commanded, and arrange a sudden assault en masse to close the gap between themselves and the archers. - (Avengers of Gor)
