Given the movement of the decks, and our changes to the starboard side of the Tesephone, minimizing or eliminating points of purchase, the passage between ships was precarious. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 57, Sentence #163)

In a moment the length of the corsair ship, oars swiftly brought inboard, the vessel then obedient to inertia, would slide parallel to the starboard side of the Tesephone. "No!" I heard, a long scream from the water, presumably from one of the mercenaries forced from our deck, or one of those who had earlier preferred the risk of Thassa to that of our crew. I heard two more screams, both of which were suddenly stifled or cut short, as the corsair ship slid along our hull, scoring planking. Given the movement of the decks, and our changes to the starboard side of the Tesephone, minimizing or eliminating points of purchase, the passage between ships was precarious. Too, I did not think the corsair could hold its current position for more than a few Ihn at a time. Accordingly, the passage between ships would be dangerous, brief, and intermittent. The two ships, the corsair ship and the Tesephone, were literally against one another only briefly, but the gap between them, ranging from a few inches to a yard, held for almost an Ehn; then it widened to four to five feet, and then, once more, was such that it could be easily bridged. - (Avengers of Gor)
