3	157	I twisted, and the blade cut my tunic cleanly, creasing the skin with a line of blood as sharp as a razor.	10
3	187	During my training with the sword, the Older Tarl cut me unpleasantly a number of times, shouting out, annoyingly enough, I thought, "You are dead!" At last, near the end of my training, I managed to break through his guard and, pulling my stroke, to drive my blade against his chest.	10
5	160	I turned, raising the tarn-goad, which was looped to my wrist, to ward off the stroke of his blade.	10
6	44	I drew my sword from its sheath, to cut the mounting ladder from the saddle, but stopped, and angrily drove the blade back into its sheath.	10
6	140	I rushed between its mouth and the girl, and with a swift downward slash of my blade severed that foul brown tongue.	10
6	145	In an instant the mouth had snapped for me, and I had left the mark of my blade deep in the teeth ridges of its lower jaw.	10
7	193	Let it be only the blade and quickly".	10

8	62	The officer turned from Talena, scrambling to his feet and growling with rage, unsheathing his blade.	10
9	156	At last, terminating a frenzied exchange, I managed to drive my blade into his shoulder, and as his sword arm dropped, I kicked the weapon from his grasp.	10
12	142	With the spear blade I cut into the locked saddle pack.	10
14	41	"Without this," he said, touching the blade, "there is nothing—no justice, no civilization, no society, no community, no peace.	10

14	62	He slapped the blade fondly.	10
15	203	"What is it, Ubar, that you hold dearest—your city or your title? Do you seek the welfare of Ar or your private glory?" Marlenus leaped to his feet, hurling the yellow robes of the Afflicted from him, drawing his blade from its sheath with a metallic flash.	10
16	155	Indeed, I was momentarily overwhelmed with the cunning of Pa-Kur and rejoiced that I had followed something of Kazrak's counsels of patience and caution, that I had not disclosed my identity, that I had not attempted to cut my way to her side and bring her out by the blade of the sword.	10
18	165	"Die, Assassin!" one of them screamed, and struck downward with his blade.	10
18	166	I slipped under the blade and ran him through.	10
18	169	I remember them pressing downward, so many, and my blade, terrible, moving as if wielded by a god, meeting their steel, cutting its path upward.	10
18	173	The thought flamed through me in the violent delirium of battle that in those moments I was many men, an army, that no man could stand against me, that it was not my blade or my heart they faced but something I myself only dimly sensed, something intangible but irresistible, an avalanche, a storm, a...	10

7	2	The man on the right would not draw his blade but wait until the first warrior had made his attack and would then strike from the side with the spear.	10
7	5	I suddenly turned on the warrior on my right with the spear and with the swiftness of the mountain larl sprang at him, evaded his clumsy, startled thrust, and drove my blade between his ribs, jerking it free and turning just in time to meet the sword attack of his companion.	10
11	173	She extended her silver-gloved hand, palm facing her body and chopped brutally down with it, as though it might have been a blade.	10

21	194	I slipped the blade of my sword between the girl's cheek and the hair that was bound across her mouth.	10
21	195	I moved it, and the hair, as lightly as though it had been air, floated from the blade.	10
21	214	The sword itself I retained, knotting the scabbard straps and thrusting the blade into them.	10
23	137	The helmet had largely absorbed the blow but the blade of the striking instrument had creased the skull, accounting for the flow of blood.	10
25	24	I wiped the blade on my tunic and replaced it in the sheath.	10
25	71	My blade entered the roof of its mouth, pushing its head up and away from my throat.	10

26	109	Who am I to challenge their power? I am nothing; not even a bit of dust, raised by the wind in a tiny fist of defiance; not even a blade of grass that cuts at the ankles of trampling gods.	10

Book 3. (28 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
22	163	I supposed one of the reasons for the short blade was that it could clear the sheath a fraction of a second before a longer blade.	10
27	258	And when the swift living blade of Sarm was still a full yard from my throat it met the lightning steel of a Gorean blade that had once been carried at the siege of Ar, that had met and withstood and conquered the steel of Pa-Kur, Gor's Master Assassin, until that time said to be the most skilled sw...	10
5	23	I shivered, thinking of the blade and my throat.	10
7	75	I slammed the blade back in the sheath and continued on.	10
7	111	Surely I had enjoyed the scent of flowers and women, of hot, fresh bread, roasted meat, paga and wines, harness leather, the oil with which I protected the blade of my sword from rust, of green fields and storm winds, but seldom had I considered the sense of smell in the way one would consider that ...	10
10	46	I would learn later that in the ball at the end of its forelegs from which the smaller prehensile appendages extended, there was a curved, bladed, hornlike structure that could spring forward; this happens spontaneously when the leg's tip is inverted, a motion which at once exposes the hornlike blad...	10
11	100	He reminded me vaguely of the blade of a golden knife.	10
19	17	From the high cabinet Sarm withdrew my sword belt, my scabbard, and the short, sharp blade of Gorean steel which I had earlier yielded at the request of Misk.	10
19	61	For all practical purposes it now seemed that Priest-Kings would be invulnerable to my blade, though I supposed I might have injured them severely if I sliced at the sensory hairs on the legs, at the trunk joining thorax and abdomen, at the eyes and antennae if I could reach them.	10
22	159	In the blue torchlight I examined the blade and the light coat of oil that protected it.	10
22	162	I liked the blade which seemed so simple and efficient compared to the manifold variations in sword steel that were possible.	10
22	164	Another advantage was that it could be moved with greater swiftness than a longer blade.	10
22	166	The brief reach of the blade tended to be more than compensated for by the rapidity with which it might be wielded and the ease with which it might work beneath the guard of a longer weapon.	10
23	49	When I made a turn I would take the hilt of the sword, in order to protect the blade, and scratch a small sign indicating the direction from which I had come.	10
23	70	I then took my sword and wiped the oil from one side of the blade and set the shining steel against the lips of the girl from Treve.	10
23	71	When I removed it I cried out with pleasure for a bit of moisture had formed on the blade.	10
25	12	The plastic tunic I wore did not provide an absorbent surface with which to clean the blade.	10
25	16	So I tore a handful of cloth from her garment and on this I wiped my hands and the blade.	10
27	138	His entire frame, that long, slender golden blade, seemed to shudder.	10
27	167	Once again Sarm leaped in, his bladed projection lifted to strike, but this time Misk suddenly straightened himself promptly on the leg which had seemed to fail him and whipped his antennae back behind his head an instant before the stroke of Sarm's blade and when Sarm struck he found his appendage ...	10
27	186	Sarm had drawn himself up again to his full height and like a golden blade he stood behind Misk and before the Mother.	10
27	267	I raised my blade, resolved to die well.	10
29	144	Did it wish me to comb the antennae? Was it conscious? Was it mad with pain? I stood not understanding and then the Priest-King did what he wished: with a toss of his great golden head he hurled his antennae against my blade, cutting them from his head, and then, after a moment, having closed himsel...	10

4	52	To the head came the flashing bola moving in its hideous, swift revolution almost invisible in the air and I, instead of lowering my head or throwing myself to the ground, met instead the flying weighted leather with the blade of a Koroban short sword, with the edge that would divide silk dropped up...	10
7	150	Kamchak set the blade of the quiva between the girl's throat and the collar and moved it, the leather collar seeming to fall from the blade.	10
4	46	The three weights at the end of the straps were now almost blurring in the air and he, his song ended, the reins in his left hand, quiva blade now clenched between his teeth, bola in his swinging, uplifted right arm, suddenly cried out and kicked the kaiila into its charge.	10
4	53	The quiva reversed itself in his hand, an action so swift I was only aware of it as his arm flew back, his hand on the blade, to hurl the weapon.	10
4	73	I thrust the blade back in the scabbard.	10
9	336	His hand drew back but the blow never fell, for with a cry of pain he reeled away, the hilt of a quiva pressed against the inside of his forearm, the balance of the blade emerging on the other side.	10
10	450	The warrior of the Wagon Peoples does not use the short sword, probably because such a weapon could not be optimally used from the saddle of the kaiila; the saber, incidentally, which would be somewhat more effective from kaiilaback, is almost unknown on Gor; its role, I gather, is more than fulfill...	10
10	466	"You see," he said, "I am Champion of Turia and I have no particular wish to stain my blade with the blood of an urt".	10
10	514	Kamchak was running his thumb on the blade.	10
10	542	Kamchak was looking at the edge of his sword, turning it about, apparently noting with pleasure the play of sunlight on the blade.	10
10	544	Kamchak turned to see what I had in mind and to his great good fortune, as he did so, the sun flashed from the blade into the eyes of Kamras, who suddenly threw his arm up, blinking and shaking his head, for the instant blinded.	10
10	549	It had been incredibly fortunate for Kamchak that the blade had flashed precisely at the time it had in the way it had.	10
10	562	Each time the Turian struck and I would have thought Kamchak slain, somehow, incomprehensibly, at the last instant, nearly causing my heart to stop, with a surprised, weary little twitch, the blade of the Tuchuk would slide the Turian steel harmlessly to the side.	10
10	573	"Kill him!" But now, almost like a drunk man, Kamras was fighting for his life and the Tuchuk, like a bear, scarcely moving more than arm and wrist, followed him about, shuffling through the sand after him, touching him again and again with the blade.	10
11	316	She jerked one of the quivas from its saddle sheath and stood with the blade facing us.	10
18	6	The blade would sink in fully, as though in a tub of wet cement, leaving a mark, but when it was withdrawn the mark would be erased by the material flowing in to fill the aperture.	10
18	24	I looked at the blade.	10
18	66	Upside down, locked in the gelling fluid, I took the quiva from my mouth and, with both hands, pressed down with the blade against that twitching, jerking, withdrawing membrane.	10
18	95	I took the attack of the second guardsman by rolling on my back and flinging up my blade in defense.	10
18	97	He fell back from my blade, turned once and fell into the glistening, living liquid of the Yellow Pool of Turia.	10
21	286	I kicked him from the blade barely in time to meet the attack of two more men.	10
21	292	I barely turned a blade from my heart.	10
21	300	I managed to slip my blade through the ribs of one man and twist to avoid the thrust of the other.	10
21	303	I spun to the right just in time to turn the blade of a third man.	10
26	156	Sitting in the place of honor, cross-legged, calm, on the merchant's cushions, on his personal dais, applying a bit of oil to the blade of his sword, sat the lean, scarred Ha-Keel, once of Ar, now a mercenary tarnsman of squalid, malignant Port Kar.	10

2	149	Then the dark shape of the Assassin seemed to move like a swift shadow in the room, and each of the three Warriors leaped toward him, but seemed to fail to find him, and another man, without even the flash of sword steel, dropped to his knees and fell forward in the pit of sand; the other two men st...	10
22	362	To my surprise I noted, coiled at the side of his saddle, in four loops, was a whip knife, of the sort common in Port Kar, a whip, but set into its final eighteen inches, arranged in sets of four, twenty thin, narrow blades; the tips of whip knives differ; some have a double-edged blade of about sev...	10
2	57	Kuurus had placed his spear against the wall behind him, and he had taken from his left shoulder his shield, his helmet and the sheathed short sword, which blade he had placed at his right hand on the low table.	10
2	118	Then the large man with missing teeth seized Hup's hair and pulled up the head, to expose the throat, holding in his right hand a small, thick, curved blade, the hook knife of Ar, used sheathed in the sport of that name, but the knife was not now sheathed.	10
2	170	"I must protect myself," said the man, smiling, as the blade of Kuurus lifted itself through the sleeve, parting the silk, revealing the sheath strapped to his forearm.	10
2	171	Not taking his eyes from the man, Kuurus cut the straps on the sheath from the man's forearm, and with a small movement of his blade, threw the sheath and its dagger some feet to the side.	10
4	77	Mixed with the blood and fluids of the body there was a smear of white at the end of the steel, the softened residue of a glaze of kanda paste, now melted by body heat, which had coated the tip of the blade.	10
5	26	Some locks, on the compartments of rich persons, or on the storehouses of merchants, the treasuries of cities, and so on, are knife locks or poison locks; the knife lock, when tampered with, releases a blade, or several of them, with great force, sometimes from behind the individual at the lock.	10
5	150	On the surface of the ship, tall and thin, like the blade of a golden knife, his forelegs lifted delicately before his body, his golden antennae blown in the wind, there stood, with the incredible fixity and alertness of his kind, a Priest-King.	10
5	180	The great golden blade, his body itself, for a moment trembled.	10
13	353	"All Tarn Keepers carry a knife," said Mip, playing with the blade.	10
13	375	I examined the knife, the balance of it, the hilt, the tapered blade.	10
17	542	But then my sword was out of the sheath and delicately, turning each bone with the tip of the blade, I placed the side marked with the highest number on each of the bones facing the ceiling.	10
17	820	"The fights with hook knife I saw," I said, "were contests with sheathed blade".	10
18	2	In the same instant the hurled knife struck a chest behind us and I had rolled over throwing my legs under me, trying to draw the sword from my sheath, when Ho-Tu, running, hook knife in hand, leaped upon me, the curved blade streaking for my throat; I threw my left hand between the knife and my thr...	10
20	296	Through the entryway, rather angrily, strode a young man, perhaps no more than eighteen or nineteen years of age, with piercing eyes and incredibly striking features; he wore the garb of the Player, but his garb was rich and the squares of the finest red and yellow silk; the game bag over his left s...	10
21	10	"Surely the famed Tarl Cabot, master swordsman of Gor," said Vancius, "prefers to die with blade in hand".	10
21	11	"Remove my manacles," said I, "and blade or no, let me give response as might a Warrior".	10
21	153	He resheathed the blade in my scabbard.	10
21	227	The steel struck my own and I parried the blow, moving the blade aside easily.	10
21	288	I pretended my blade had been wedged between the ribs of the center man.	10
21	304	The end man stumbled in an attempt to turn to me and I passed the side of the blade beneath the helmet and was behind them.	10
21	333	"I, too," said he, blade flashing, "was destined for the sport of the blind helmet.	10
21	336	"If it must be known," granted Relius, driving his blade between the ribs of a Taurentian.	10
21	340	I turned a blade from my breast, as another four or five Taurentians pressed in upon me.	10
21	346	I parried a blade from his heart.	10
21	348	Ho-Tu drew his blade and acquitted himself sturdily.	10
21	415	Murmillius lifted his blade to me.	10
22	612	I took his killing knife from my belt and threw it, blade down, into the sand beside the body.	10
24	418	Why had this been done to me? Was this the reward for my services? And what of Elizabeth? Was it that Marlenus had looked upon her and so pleasing did he find her that he had decreed that she be reserved for the very Pleasure Gardens of the Ubar of Ar himself, to serve him as a silken wench, one of ...	10

17	211	My fifth wave was divided into two portions, the pincer blade striking from the north under the command of the tall, long-haired Nigel with his fifteen ships, supplemented by twenty-five of the arsenal, and the pincer blade from the south under the command of Chung, with his twenty ships, supplement...	10
3	268	In my eyes in that moment it seemed I had lost myself, that my codes had been betrayed, Ko-ro-ba my city dishonored, even the blade I had carried soiled.	10
6	146	Had he known I was a warrior he might not have used his blade improperly.	10
6	151	I took it in my left hand and jerked him forward, at the same time moving my blade in a swift, easy arc, transversely and slightly upward, towards him.	10
6	160	My blade had partially cut the net but was tangled in it.	10
6	161	I caught his wrist with my left hand and, with the right, thrust my blade, tangled in the net, through his body.	10
8	5	I had again my sword, that wine-tempered blade of fine, double-edged Gorean steel, carried even at the siege of Ar, so long ago, with its scabbard; and the rounded shield of layered boskhide, with its double sling, riveted with pegs of iron and bound with hoops of brass; and the simple helmet, innoc...	10
8	138	Again at the side of the fourth barge I thrust over the side, driving my blade into one of the milling bodies, then withdrawing.	10
8	293	They could hear only my footsteps passing beneath them, and perhaps the small movement of the Gorean blade in its sheath.	10
8	301	I heard only my footsteps, and the occasional sounds of the morning in the marsh, and the movement of the Gorean blade in my sheath.	10
8	341	I drew forth the Gorean blade from its scabbard and, sitting on the chair of the oar-master, laid it across my knees.	10
8	411	I held the blade of the short sword at her throat.	10
8	415	I slammed the blade back in the sheath.	10
8	438	I knew, in my heart, that it had been I, I myself, who had betrayed me, I who had fallen short of the warrior codes, I who had dishonored my own Home Stone, and the blade I bore.	10
8	531	I was alone, but I had my arm, and its strength, and the Gorean blade.	10
8	536	What could there be that could stand above the steel blade? Was not honor a sham, loyalty and courage a deceit, an illusion of the ignorant, a dream of fools? Was not the only wise man he who observed carefully and when he might took what he could? The determinants of the wise man could not be such ...	10
8	567	With a movement of the Gorean blade I cut the fiber at her ankles.	10
8	576	Then, contemptuously, I removed my blade from the sheath.	10
8	582	For a moment I let her feel the point in the delicacy of her throat, then I dropped the blade and slashed the binding fiber that fastened her wrists together about the prow.	10
8	586	With the point of my blade I pointed to the deck.	10
8	592	The tip of my blade still pointed inexorably to a place on the deck.	10
8	594	The blade did not move.	10
8	596	The blade still did not move, but continued to point downward.	10
8	733	Angrily I went to her and slipped the Gorean blade between her throat and the halter, cutting it, freeing her from its tether.	10
9	420	I drew the Gorean blade.	10
9	426	I sheathed the blade.	10
9	448	I buckled about me the Gorean blade, with its belt and scabbard.	10
9	582	"No," I said, and moved the blade from the sheath.	10
9	592	Surbus threw the girl from him and, with a swift, clean motion, unsheathed his blade.	10
9	596	Then, with a cry of hatred and elation, my blade, parallel to the ground, that it not wedge itself between the ribs of its target, passed through his body.	10
9	597	I kicked him from the blade and withdrew the bloodied steel.	10
9	604	I moved the blade in a semicircle, facing them.	10
9	606	I tore off some of his tunic and cleaned the blade on it.	10
9	625	I resheathed the blade.	10
9	700	I unsheathed my blade.	10
11	46	On its height they met Bosk, in his hands the wine-tempered steel of a Koroban blade.	10
11	144	The coup intended to destroy them, swift as the falling of the assassin's blade, had failed.	10
11	382	He looked at me, and then, with a cry of anger, drew his blade from the papers and wood, slammed it back into its sheath, and turned and strode from the room.	10
11	391	I resheathed my blade.	10
12	47	I got the knife from between my teeth and, with it, sometimes half out of the water, sometimes beneath it, thrashing and twisting, thrust the blade a dozen times into its hide.	10
13	432	For an ugly moment the ship canted sharply to starboard and we shipped water through the thole ports, but then the other ship, with her shearing blade, passed, and the Rena righted herself, but rocked helplessly, lame in the water.	10
13	455	I lifted my blade to them, acknowledging their salute.	10
14	128	A javelin, with tarred, burning blade, fell hissing into the water, some hundred yards away.	10
15	8	Besides, more importantly, it was insufficiently grand, with its plain pommel and unfigured blade, for one of my position, one of the most significant men in one of Gor's greatest ports.	10
15	9	I was Bosk, a simple, but shrewd man, who had come from the marshes to startle Port Kar and dazzle and shake the cities of Gor with my cunning and my blade, and now my power and my wealth.	10
15	204	He was a spare, strong-limbed lad, and perhaps might, if trained, be able to handle a blade.	10
15	655	I howled with rage and turned about, striking the walls with my fists and then, throwing off my cloak, spun weeping to face them, in the same instant drawing my blade.	10
15	664	I gestured with my blade.	10
15	695	I returned my blade to its sheath.	10
15	762	"You have destroyed me," I cried, "and now I shall destroy you!" I leaped to my feet, whipping the sword from my sheath and stood over her, the blade raised to strike.	10
15	764	In rage I hurled the blade away and it struck the stones of the wall thirty feet across the room and clattered to the floor, and I sank to my knees weeping, my head in my hands.	10
16	130	"The blade," I said to Telima.	10
16	132	I put the blade in my scabbard, and wrapped the straps about the scabbard.	10
17	288	I whipped my blade from its sheath, angrily, and held it to his throat.	10
17	292	I lowered the blade.	10
17	373	Startled, Chenbar himself, Ubar of Tyros, the Sea Sleen, drew his blade.	10
17	383	I slipped on the sleet-iced deck of the stern castle and parried Chenbar's blade from my throat.	10
18	102	My blade leaped from its sheath and I parried his blow.	10
18	106	I moved the blade toward the boy and he parried it.	10
18	109	After an Ehn or two I replaced my blade in its sheath.	10
18	111	He dropped his blade, and looked at me agonized.	10
18	203	I could see, as they did not, a shadow moving swiftly behind them, it, too, rapidly shifting its position, moving about amidst the frantic shadows of men, torches and confusions, but always staying in the background, like an absence of substance but one which carried a blade of steel.	10
18	205	Those who fell before that shadow did so unnoticed, and without great cries, for the blade had crossed their throats as unexpectedly as a whisper in the darkness.	10
18	214	In fighting as we were, one did not use a deep thrust, that the blade might be more swiftly freed.	10
18	255	Then, with a swift motion, he leaped behind her and, with the flat of his blade, dealt her a sharp, stinging blow.	10
