The only likely object to use in such a plan would be the body of one of the humans about, victims of the Kur, with whom I had shared the march in the desert. - (Tribesmen of Gor, Chapter 21, Sentence #490)

A diversion would be ineffective, for what could draw the Kur from his position? If the blood of the slaughtered humans about had not been sufficient to override his obedience to the dark imperatives of the steel worlds, I did not think anything I might contrive could lure him forth. He had resisted blood; the will of this Kur, restraining its instincts of feasting and carnival, must be mighty indeed. He would assume, perhaps, I might attempt to draw fire with a decoy, thus slipping into the ship. The only likely object to use in such a plan would be the body of one of the humans about, victims of the Kur, with whom I had shared the march in the desert. I made no attempt to conceal my sounds. I let it be clear that I was outside the portal, that I had ascended the side of the ship, that with me, dragged, was an inert weight, presumably a body. A likely plan, it seemed to me, would be to thrust the inert body into the portal, and draw the fire of the Kur within. - (Tribesmen of Gor)
