In the banquet hall there were three prominent, visible Kurii, he referred to as "Lucius," who seemed to be first in the Cave, and two who crouched in the background, like beasts of prey, surveying the festivities. |

Below these were most of the Kurii of the Cave, who carried no translators. |

There were various levels in the Cave, at least four. |

The Cave was lit, where lit, by illuminated globes, which, interestingly, seemed self-sufficient. |

Yet, too, we would discover that other portions of the Cave, some of them, were far less awesome to humans, but, one supposes, more congenial to Kurii. |
10 |
| 27 | 110 |
In any event, perhaps due to the warmth of their pelting and the excellence of their dark vision, for the Kur can hunt in the night as well as in the day, they seem, even today, to find, unlike the human, cave-like surroundings congenial. |
10 |

There is little which can surprise one in the twisting, confining narrowness of a cave, and it can be dangerous to enter one. |

In any event, whatever may be the truth in these matters, the decor and structure of the vast "Cave" was not uniform, and, from the human point of view, certain areas were more pleasant than others. |
10 |
| 27 | 115 |
Interestingly, most districts within the "Cave" seemed to have been constructed with humans in mind, perhaps to suggest a kinship of outlook and values betwixt the species. |

Shortly after we had entered the Cave, a Kur took Mina's leash and dragged her away. |

Chloe had changed hands several times in her eastward journey on the Vosk, town to town, but, in the end, she had been sold in the great clearing station of Victoria, from which point she had been sold southeast to Torcadino, and then, eventually, in Ar, where some agent of the Kurii had apparently ... |

A few Ehn later, there was a sharp, ringing sound, resulting one supposes from the striking of one of the small bars, to the sounds of which the Lady Bina, amongst other festal tokens, had been welcomed to the Cave. |
10 |

It was doubtless through this portal that Mina, weeks ago, unnoted, had slipped from the Cave. |
10 |
| 33 | 23 |
Through this same portal, too, weeks ago, the Lady Bina had been welcomed to the Cave, together with her party. |
10 |
| 33 | 24 |
Through this portal, too, recently, Tiresias had been driven from the Cave, to wander sightless amongst the escarpments, the peaks, and crags. |
10 |

I was not clear, nor was Master Desmond, as to the role the unusual cargo which had been borne by the wagons was to play in the affairs of the Cave. |
10 |
| 33 | 34 |
It did seem obvious that most of these goods, or supplies, had been transferred to the more restricted zones of the Cave, where there lay, supposedly, various laboratories and workshops. |
10 |
| 33 | 36 |
This suggested substantial economic resources at the disposal of the Cave. |
10 |
| 33 | 86 |
The temperature in the Cave is kept equable by the Kurii, largely for the sake of their human allies, as Kurii, given their pelting, can easily sustain temperatures which, to a human, would be not only uncomfortable, but dangerous. |
10 |
| 33 | 87 |
In any event the Kurii, who seemed to tolerate a wide variety of atmospheric conditions with equanimity, had apparently arranged the Cave's temperature and humidity with the comfort of humans in mind. |
10 |
| 33 | 88 |
Indeed, I thought the temperature in the Cave, if anything, might be a bit warm. |
10 |
| 33 | 89 |
But what do Kurii know of humans, or care to know of humans? In any event, one would think nothing of encountering half-naked kajirae in the Cave even should the outside temperatures be freezing and the cold winds moan and roar about the peaks. |
10 |
| 33 | 92 |
In the place of cells, where I had first encountered Grendel in the Cave, I had learned something of the politics of worlds. |
10 |
| 33 | 93 |
Those Kurii of the Cave, stubborn refugees of a putatively lost cause, impenitent and undissuaded, I had gathered, hoped to enleague themselves with one or more of the remote steel worlds, with the end in view of a conquest of Gor, and, perhaps eventually, if wished, of Earth. |
10 |
| 33 | 127 |
After weeks in the Cave, where Kurii were frequently encountered, I could also easily note the subtle difference about the eyes, and, of course, if one looked, that of the appendages, for the hands and feet of the entering beast were five-digited, not six-digited. |
10 |
| 33 | 137 |
I recalled that he had told me, before the meeting in the audience chamber, that he had been given his freedom, and might even leave the Cave if he wished. |
10 |

Aside from the question of garmenture, a kajira who left the Cave might be accounted a fugitive, and hunted down, as such. |
10 |

The room was lit with energy bulbs, as were the numerous chambers and labyrinthine halls of the Cave. |
10 |

"These concealments, of course," he said, "are intended to be of use to the conspirators in their communications within and between cities, between cities and the Cave, and so on". |
10 |

"The word of many in this Cave," said Kleomenes, "is worthless". |
10 |

"But Kurii, the Cave, will remain," said a fellow. |
10 |
| 37 | 71 |
"Who is high Kur in the Cave?" asked Desmond. |
10 |
| 37 | 152 |
"Put her out of the Cave, naked and bound," said a man. |
10 |
| 37 | 168 |
He was driven from the hall, and, as I understand it, from the Cave. |
10 |
| 37 | 232 |
"Lucius is high Kur in the Cave," said another. |
10 |
| 38 | 11 |
"This is our opportunity," he said, "to escape the Cave. |
10 |

"I think some beasts have left the Cave," said Astrinax. |
10 |
| 39 | 32 |
The humans in the Cave, I am sure, would have been muchly pleased to have remained neutral in such an altercation, as a single human, or even two or three, was a sorry match for a Kur. |
10 |
| 39 | 39 |
It was four days into the revolt before we learned that the leader of the revolutionaries was Lucius himself, whom many of us had taken to be high Kur in the Cave. |
10 |
| 40 | 4 |
Things were muchly unsettled in the Cave. |
10 |
| 40 | 19 |
I had seen one, perhaps this one, weeks ago, on a slope across from the Cave's main portal, perhaps three or four hundred paces away. |
10 |
| 41 | 16 |
We kajirae had been uninvolved in the small war in the Cave. |
10 |
| 41 | 26 |
Lucius, and his followers, now reduced to a small number, were still at large in the Cave, but it was not clear where. |
10 |
| 41 | 27 |
Lucius, from his former position of authority, was extremely familiar with the Cave, not only with its open halls, and its less open, or more restricted, halls, but, too, as it turned out, with a diversity of less recognized passageways, several of which were obscure and unfamiliar, if not secret. |
10 |
| 41 | 73 |
It did have the speckling about the edges of the deck, which I had seen in the Cave, but I had seen such cards, as well, in the house of chance. |
10 |
| 41 | 183 |
"My principal," he said, "is preparing to conclude his business, and leave the Cave". |
10 |
| 42 | 2 |
On the other hand, for most practical purposes, order had been restored in the Cave, and matters, with some exceptions, were much as they had been earlier, before the revolt. |
10 |
| 42 | 16 |
I did not understand the nature of these excursions, but I supposed they might be explicable in terms as obvious as escaping the tedium of the Cave, a zest for movement or fresh air, and perhaps even some light hunting. |

He will be taken outside the Cave and killed, his body left for sleen and larls". |
10 |
| 43 | 86 |
Certainly he had been often enough out of the Cave. |
10 |
| 43 | 93 |
The movements of Agamemnon have become more guarded, men have been disarmed, and Kurii patrol the Cave and guard the great portal". |
10 |
| 43 | 105 |
"Given the suppression of the revolt, and the increased security in the Cave," he said, "the increased suspicion and watchfulness, the fear of further disruption or dissension, the intensified vigilance, our small organization of men, secret and subversive, intent on exposing the machinations of Aga... |
10 |
| 44 | 33 |
"That might have earned enough time to escape the Cave," I said. |
10 |
| 44 | 39 |
"Returning to the Cave," he said, "I was apprehended, bound, and conducted into the presence of Agamemnon, and confronted with the test". |
10 |
| 44 | 66 |
"Master Desmond," I said, "without your leadership, despairs of escaping the Cave, of braving the Voltai, of counteracting the conspiracy. |
10 |
| 44 | 84 |
"Tomorrow, at the Ninth Ahn," said Grendel, "I am to be taken from the Cave and executed. |
10 |
| 44 | 85 |
Perhaps you might leave the Cave a few Ehn before the Ninth Ahn and walk to the Sixth Ahn". |
10 |
| 45 | 43 |
The morning sun would be bright before me, on rock, and then, in a moment, one would confront almost impenetrable, cave-like shadows, indicating recesses of an undisclosed depth. |
10 |
| 45 | 47 |
I recalled I had seen a larl from the great portal once, perhaps one at much this distance from the Cave. |
10 |
| 45 | 64 |
Looking on this beast, not on the brink of starvation, not half dead, but alert and sound, I realized the explanation for Grendel's many departures from the Cave. |
10 |
| 45 | 120 |
The two Kurii were clearly startled, at seeing a human, and a kajira, here, outside the Cave. |
10 |
| 45 | 132 |
I gathered that he was ordering me to return to the Cave. |
10 |
| 45 | 252 |
Then, when it is opportune, slip into the Cave". |
10 |
| 46 | 1 |
Much frustration, fury, and rage coursed through the corridors of the Cave. |
10 |
| 46 | 12 |
About the First Ahn I might have fled within the portal, even into the arms of guards, had it not been for the words of Grendel that the matter, my reentry into the Cave, would be arranged by Tiresias. |
10 |
| 46 | 21 |
Later, on the night of my reentry into the Cave, I became aware that some relationship existed between the two, although, at the time, I did not understand its nature. |
10 |
| 46 | 30 |
As attention was fastened on the larl I slipped about the corner of the portal, unnoticed, into the Cave, and, in an instant, was being embraced by Jane and Eve, and there were other kajirae about, too. |
10 |
| 46 | 47 |
* * * * Following the revolt of Lucius, as I have mentioned, certain changes were effected in the routine of the Cave. |
10 |
| 46 | 50 |
Second, there was the disarming of the Cave's humans, which muchly uneased the men. |
10 |
| 46 | 57 |
Third, security had been increased in the Cave, Kurii now guarding the great portal and patrolling the halls. |
10 |
| 46 | 62 |
I supposed much had to do with the recollection of the revolt of Lucius, which had apparently been as unexpected by Agamemnon and his adherents as by the humans in the Cave. |
10 |
| 46 | 64 |
Lucius had been trusted, even taken by many to be first in the Cave. |
10 |
| 46 | 135 |
This began, I fear, with the high Kur, Lucius, and now, it seems, a prisoner who was to have been executed escaped, and two Kurii were killed outside the Cave. |
10 |
| 46 | 137 |
Was the escape abetted? Are there traitors in the Cave? It seems all must suffer. |
10 |
| 46 | 143 |
"It is said," said Nora, "that there is a conspiracy of men within the Cave to thwart the projects of the hirsute masters". |
10 |
| 47 | 1 |
A double guard, though it was daylight, had been placed at the mouth of the Cave. |
10 |
| 47 | 66 |
Certainly there was much disgruntlement in the Cave amongst the humans, and, as nearly as I could determine, amongst several of the Kurii as well. |
10 |
| 48 | 65 |
Presumably, given the unrest in the Cave, the abortive revolt of Lucius, who had presumably been as trusted, or more trusted, than any, and the possible existence of dissidents amongst the Kurii, perhaps even some lingering followers of Lucius, I did not think he would dare to be far from Timarchos ... |
10 |
| 48 | 69 |
It may also be remembered that the leader of the revolt, Lucius, and certain followers, had remained at large in the labyrinthine recesses of the Cave. |
10 |
| 48 | 70 |
This was due, in particular, not simply to the extent of the Cave and its passages, many of which were remote and unfamiliar, even natural, but because of a number of constructed private or secret passages. |
10 |
| 48 | 72 |
With primitive weapons, of course, such as existed in the Cave, it would be extremely dangerous to pursue the dissidents into such places. |
10 |
| 48 | 78 |
What is most relevant to this account is the fact that by means of one of these secret passageways, as to many other important locations in the Cave, one might obtain access to the audience chamber of Agamemnon. |
10 |
| 48 | 108 |
The armed Kurii were mostly posted in the far halls, where it was thought that Lucius and his followers might emerge, presumably in an attempt to escape the Cave. |
10 |
| 48 | 143 |
I did know there was much dissatisfaction in the Cave. |
10 |
| 48 | 343 |
"Do not flee the Cave!" called Grendel. |
10 |
| 48 | 347 |
"What men will," cried Desmond of Harfax, "may now escape the Cave. |
10 |
| 49 | 5 |
If I had been unclear in the Cave of Agamemnon as to whom I belonged, there was no longer any doubt about that. |
10 |
| 49 | 33 |
It had been supposed and it had, indeed, been the case, that he would try to escape the Cave, in which he would now be viewed as little more than a fallen, treasonous fugitive. |
10 |
| 49 | 34 |
Grendel had called to him not to leave the Cave, and Tiresias had warned him that a guard had been set. |
10 |
| 49 | 36 |
Grendel's many trips from the Cave, which had been hitherto noted, were mostly concerned to bring food to Tiresias. |
10 |
| 49 | 39 |
Tiresias had managed to get the larl to cross the entryway of the great portal on the night of my return to the Cave simply enough, by luring it with food from the opposite side. |
10 |
| 49 | 40 |
The larl had been stationed near the exit of the Cave by the food signal, which it had come to recognize. |
10 |
| 49 | 41 |
This was a portion of the plan of Grendel and Tiresias, to prevent the escape from the Cave of enemies. |
10 |
| 49 | 45 |
From the larl's point of view, which had been given the food signal, it seemed that that which emerged from the Cave must either bring food or be food. |
10 |
| 49 | 46 |
Apparently Lucius had been attacked within a hundred paces of the Cave. |
10 |
| 49 | 49 |
One supposes it may have been the same larl which, in the chaos of the revolt, when the great portal was temporarily unguarded, had wandered into the Cave. |
10 |
| 49 | 55 |
In his explorations outside the Cave, Grendel had located the ship in its concealed housing within the Crag of Kleinias. |
10 |
| 49 | 68 |
Timarchos and Lysymachos, with supplies, bearing the container housing Agamemnon, had soon left the Cave. |
10 |
| 49 | 70 |
Lucius had not managed to secure the governance of the Cave and Agamemnon was deemed to have lost it, for, given the decimation of his chief supporters, he no longer had the power to impose discipline and order. |
10 |
| 49 | 71 |
Further, his downfall was not received unwillingly by either men or Kurii, given the rampant dissatisfaction which had preceded it in the Cave. |
10 |
| 49 | 74 |
Most of the men and, one supposes, most, or all, of the surviving Kurii remained in the Cave. |
10 |
| 49 | 77 |
It seemed unlikely that the Cave, in any case, even if inhabited by several Kurii, would remain the center of future conspiracies. |
10 |
| 49 | 90 |
Timarchos and Lysymachos were well aware that Agamemnon was not without enemies in the Cave. |
10 |
| 49 | 106 |
The next day, their preparations complete, Timarchos, Lysymachos, and Agamemnon had left the Cave. |
10 |
| 49 | 111 |
Where he would not be sought turned out to be the Cave itself. |
10 |
| 49 | 112 |
In his explorations outside the Cave, as noted, he had located and investigated the waiting ship, inert, waiting for its activation. |
10 |
| 49 | 113 |
He had forced his way into its housing, and, from within the housing, had obtained access to the interior of the Cave. |
10 |
| 49 | 114 |
Thus, while search party after search party left the Cave and scoured the icy, cruel terrain of the Voltai, he and Tiresias enjoyed the comforts of shelter. |
10 |
| 49 | 116 |
Grendel was well aware that Lucius and some cohorts remained at large and this suggested either, or both, of two possibilities, one, their retreat to remote portions of the Cave or, two, their access to concealed passages. |
10 |
| 49 | 117 |
Presumably the possibility likely to be of greatest interest to the fugitives would be that of concealed passages, by means of which important areas of the Cave, central halls, major chambers, and such, might be conveniently at hand. |
10 |
| 49 | 123 |
Unfortunately it took eleven days after the incident in the audience chamber before our party could depart the Cave. |
10 |
| 49 | 128 |
These preparations, too, might have proceeded more apace had conditions in the Cave been more settled. |
10 |
| 49 | 132 |
Many men expected to leave the Cave in the spring, rich. |
10 |
| 49 | 138 |
Most of the kajirae would remain in the Cave, presumably to be fought over as work and pleasure objects by the gangs. |
10 |
| 49 | 142 |
Kleomenes, who had been the leader of the tarsk hunters, was with us, but not his hunters, who had chosen to remain in the Cave until spring. |
10 |
| 49 | 163 |
It might also be noted in passing, that considerable wealth had been amassed by Kurii and their agents in the Cave, by means of which mercenaries were to be paid and subversion purchased in various cities. |
10 |
| 49 | 165 |
Indeed we have mentioned how those of the gangs which had formed in the Cave after the onset of anarchy had made it a point to acquire and defend portions of this wealth, each gang as much as possible. |
10 |
| 49 | 188 |
Pausanias had left the Cave long before our departure. |

"You were camisked in the Cave," she said. |

In the Cave, the visible message was in substitutions, a Tau for an Al-Ka, or such, but often enough, now, it was in clear Gorean. |

"You speak of torment! What do you know of torment? What do you know of a woman's slave fires, once men have kindled them, and forced them to burn? Can you imagine what it is to feel such things, not just in one's belly, but throughout one's helpless slave's body? We cannot seize and command a maste... |

"Earlier, too, sometimes," I said, "amongst the wagons, in camps, in the Voltai, in the Cave". |

I had been very impressed with General Yamada, much as one might be impressed when one has entered a cave and, turning about, finds that one is now under the scrutiny of a charming, watchful larl crouched at the entrance. |

I had hoped the corridor which was sealed away and guarded, that to which I had no access, might lead to such a space, the dragon's cave, but it does not". |

"In any event," I said, "we will not try them unless we are successful in getting our dragon out of its cave and into the open air. |
