2	156	Oddly enough, one of the expressions in the tongue of Gor for our sun was Lar-Torvis, which means The Central Fire, another Pythagorean expression, except that it had not been, as I understand it, originally used by the Pythagoreans to refer to the sun but to another body.	10

4	58	Yes, and by now I should have been challenged a dozen times by Ko-ro-ba's night patrols!

29	81	Just as the three ships burst into the open of another huge complex I caught up with them and opened fire on the third ship but my fire seemed less effective this time and though I gave it a full burst the charging of the tube seemed at last almost exhausted.	10

5	176	"It was like knives and fire," she said.	10
5	222	Rebellious fire flared in her eyes, and then she smiled.	10
6	14	Vika seared this meat, as thick as the forearm of a warrior, on a small iron grill over a kindling of charcoal cylinders, so that the thin margin of the outside was black, crisp and flaky and sealed within by the touch of the fire was the blood-rich flesh, hot and fat with juice.	10

29	56	While they seemed to hang undecided in space, almost like puzzled cells in a droplet of water, I dove again, and the third ship broke apart as though it were a toy beneath a falling cutlass of fire, and I climbed once more, the flame of the silver tube stabbing ahead of me, hitting the fourth ship a...	10
29	74	My heart leaped! Ground fire! I could imagine Misk hastening to his tools and the vast assemblage of instrumentation in his shop, or perhaps sending an outraged Priest-King to some secret arsenal where lay a forbidden weapon, one to which Misk would never have had recourse were it not for the hideou...	10
29	78	With grim decision I pressed the firing switch of the silver tube and there was a shattering burst of fire and I heard and felt branches of steel and tubing flying back against my armored transportation disk.	10
29	92	Like an angry hornet I flew to the open hatch of the injured ship and blasted away into the hatch, filling the insides with fire.	10
29	156	Since there was, from my point of view, no way of seeing just where I was going, since I could not use the sensory instrumentation of Priest-Kings, without cutting more holes in the ship and perhaps starting a fire or causing an explosion of some sort, I decided to abandon the ship.	10
30	192	Apparently Misk's forces were waiting for them, as might have been expected given the superior intelligence afforded by the numerous humans in Misk's camp and the disks were stopped by barricades and withered in the intense fire from nearby rooftops.	10
30	196	I struggled, enraged, against the chains and collar that held me a helpless prisoner while the issues of the day were being decided by fire in the streets outside.	10

31	124	He fired at me, burning a hole in the dome near him, exposing the power source, and the same flashing burst of fire tore at the area of the dome behind which I stood.	10
31	126	Then Sarm seemed to lose interest in me, perhaps thinking I had been slain, more likely to conserve the charge in the silver tube for more important matters, for he then began, methodically, to fire at the paneling across from the dome, destroying one area after another.	10
31	127	As he was doing this the entire Nest seemed to shift and the planet convulsed, and fire spurted from the paneling.	10
31	128	Then he fired a burst directly down into the power source and it began to rumble and throw geysers of purple fire up almost to the hole which Sarm had burned in the globe.	10
31	132	Sarm kept firing long, persistent bursts of fire at the paneling against the walls, undoubtedly attempting to destroy the instrumentation.	10
32	325	He turned it suddenly and a jolt of fire that threw him five feet back into the cave leapt from that tiny instrument and the nearest larl suddenly reared, its paws lifted wildly, its fangs bared, its snowy pelt burned black about the hole that had once housed its heart, and then it twisted and fell ...	10

2	59	Then for the first time, against the horizon, a jagged line, humped and rolling like thundering waters, seemed to rise alive from the prairie, vast, extensive, a huge arc, churning and pounding from one corner of the sky to the other, the herds of the Wagon Peoples, encircling, raising dust into the...	10
5	12	By one fire I could see a squat Tuchuk, hands on hips, dancing and stamping about by himself, drunk on fermented milk curds, dancing, according to Kamchak, to please the sky.	10
5	69	In the center of the wagon there is a small, shallow fire bowl, formed of copper, with a raised brass grating.	10

6	102	The crowd had opened a passage for the woman and the girl saw the clothing cast on the open fire.	10
7	32	For him there could no longer be the swift races across the frozen prairie; the meetings in arms; even the dancing to the sky about a fire of bosk dung.	10
9	52	I turned away and watched a fire swallower perform to the leaping melodies of the musicians.	10
9	106	To one side there was a small altar to Priest-Kings, where there burned a small fire.	10
9	107	On this fire, at the beginning of the feast the Feast Steward had scattered some grains of meal, some colored salt, some drops of wine.	10
9	146	We had been treated to exhibitions of juggling, fire swallowing, and acrobats.	10
9	273	I was puzzled at this, for throughout much of the evening there had been entertainment, the jugglers, the acrobats, the fellow who swallowed fire to music, the magician, the man with the dancing sleen.	10
9	429	There were cries on all sides, "Slay the Tuchuk sleen!" "Torture for him!" "The oil of tharlarions!" "Leech plants!" "Impalement!" "Tongs and fire!" But Kamchak seemed unmoved.	10
10	106	Elizabeth Cardwell, who had been fixing the fire in the wagon, had been startled when I had returned without Dina, but had not dared to ask what had been done with her.	10
11	155	This struck fire in Aphris of Turia.	10
12	48	When I returned to the wagon I saw the bosk had already been tended, though it was early in the day, and that there was a kettle on an outside fire boiling.	10
12	134	Elizabeth and Aphris entered, carrying the kettle between them, which they sat on the brass and copper grating over the fire bowl in the wagon.	10
12	209	The Tuchuks, of course, were most in evidence, sitting cross-legged in circles rather about a large fire near the center of the enclosure.	10
12	211	The fire, I was pleased to note, was not of bosk dung but wood, timber and planking, I was less pleased to note, torn and splintered from a merchant's wagon.	10
12	212	To one side, across a clearing from the fire, a bit in the background, was a group of nine musicians.	10
12	307	She exhaled slowly as if fire might be sizzling out instead of breath and then she shook, a delayed reaction, as if she had been thumped five times and then began to cough spasmodically and painfully until I, fearing she might suffocate, pounded her several times on the back.	10
12	423	Kamchak and I, and others, threw coins of gold into the sand near the fire.	10
12	512	He held a small torch, lit from the fire bowl within the wagon.	10
13	147	On the other hand on each altar there burned a small bosk-dung fire into which, like a tiny piece of kindling, had been placed an incense stick.	10
14	15	Kamchak kicked out the fire at the side of the wagon.	10
15	9	The mercenary tarnsmen of Turia were most feared by the Tuchuks, for such could, with relative impunity, fire upon them from the safety of their soaring height, but even this dread weapon of Turia could not, by itself, drive the Tuchuks from the surrounding plains.	10
15	10	In the field the Tuchuks would counter the tarnsmen by breaking open the Hundreds into scattered Tens and presenting only erratic, swiftly moving targets; it is difficult to strike a rider or beast at a distance from tarnback when he is well aware of you and ready to evade your missile; and, of cour...	10
15	19	"I wonder," I said, "why the tarnsmen have not struck at the wagons—with fire arrows—why they do not attack the bosk themselves, slaying them from the air, forcing you to withdraw to protect the beasts".	10
16	175	But know, Tarl Cabot, that I am a merchant and understand men and the meaning of gold—I no more object to Ha-Keel dealing with Tuchuks than I would to the fact that water freezes and fire burns—and that no one ever leaves the Yellow Pool of Turia alive".	10
20	8	It is difficult to fire from the outside, and the roundness—like the roundness of Gorean towers in general—tends to increase the amount of oblique hits from catapult stones.	10
20	62	It would be eleven or twelve seconds before the crossbowmen would be ready to fire again.	10
23	72	If they sent archers forth to slay the beasts, we could, from within the herd, answer their fire, or, if we wished, open the herd and ride forth, scattering the archers.	10
24	54	The crossbow, though its rate of fire is much slower than the Tuchuk bow, has a much greater range.	10
24	59	Harold and I chewed on some bosk meat roasted over a fire built on the marble floor of the palace of Phanius Turmus.	10
24	69	I could see stains from our cooking fire on the vaulted dome.	10
25	2	Within, a girl, across the wagon, beyond the tiny fire bowl in the center of its floor, standing on the thick rug, near a hanging tharlarion-oil lamp, turned suddenly to face me.	10
25	39	I walked about the fire bowl to approach the girl.	10
25	121	Elizabeth looked up, the tiny ring glinting in the light of the fire bowl.	10
25	164	I could scarcely believe that the proud creature who stood chained before me was she whom Kamchak and I had referred to as the Little Barbarian; whom I had been able to think of only as a timid, simple girl of Earth, a young, pretty little secretary, one of nameless, unimportant thousands of such in...	10
25	279	"Good!" I sat down beside the fire bowl, and stared at the floor.	10
25	487	I went across the rug and sat down cross-legged near the fire bowl, and looked at the girl.	10
25	617	How every bit of her seemed alive with challenge! Her eyes, her stance, the sound of her voice! I saw the tiny nose ring, barbaric, glinting in the light of the fire bowl.	10
25	844	She did not move, and then suddenly I felt the cut of her nails deep in my arms, and though her lips were open, her teeth were clenched, her head was back, the eyes closed, her hair tangled under her and over her body, and then her eyes seemed surprised, startled, and her shoulders lifted a bit from...	10
25	862	She lay on her back, her eyes open, looking at the top of the wagon, at the hangings, the shadows thrown on the scarlet hides by the light of the fire bowl.	10
26	44	"Prepare to fire!" I cried.	10
26	46	The men held their fire, and the tarn, almost at the center of the compound, as far from our encircling positions as possible, suddenly plummeted downward, its wings high, opening them only at the last minute to land on the top of the keep, beyond accurate crossbow range.	10
26	255	I was relieved to see that Kamchak signaled his bowmen not to fire.	10
26	374	Suddenly like an explosion and conflagration the pool erupted into flames and Kamchak and I and Harold and the others shielded our faces and eyes and withdrew before the fury of the fire.	10
26	376	Even the vines caught fire.	10
26	377	The pool then attempted to dessicate itself and retreat into its hardened shell-like condition but the fire within the closing shell burst it apart and open and then it was again like a lake of burning oil, with portions of the shell tossed like flaming chips upon it.	10
26	384	He added, "As you said, we did not fire on him for he did not have with him the merchant, Saphrar of Turia".	10
26	546	Kamchak's eyes, had they been jets of fire, would have frizzled the young, blond Tuchuk in his saddle.	10

22	396	It is small, double-curved, about four feet in length, built up of layers of bosk horn, bound and reinforced with metal and leather; it is banded with metal at seven points, including the grip, metal obtained from Turia in half-inch rolled strips; the leather is applied diagonally, in two-inch strip...	10
1	28	They are silent, for at such a time words mean nothing, and would demean or insult; in such a time there can be for Goreans only silence, memory and fire.	10
1	37	The wood leaped suddenly alive with a blaze that was almost a burst of fire and the three men staggered backward, their forearms thrown across their eyes.	10
1	39	The reflection of the fire, even in the sunlight, could be seen on his face.	10
1	44	At last, when the wood burned only here and there, and what had been the pyre was mostly ashes and glowing wood, the men of a dozen castes, each carrying a jar of chilled wine, moved about, pouring the wine over the fire, quenching it.	10
1	71	Only a bit of wood now, here and there, missed by the chilled wine, clung to flame; some of the logs, however, still smoked, and others held as though within themselves the redness of the fire they remembered; but most were simply charred, now dead, stained with the oil, wet from the wine.	10
2	182	Other Initiates wished to examine these omens, being read in the state of the bosk's liver, but Complicius Serenus, as though in terror, had cast the liver into the fire, presumably that such dark portents might be immediately destroyed.	10
2	191	Accordingly, Kazrak of Port Kar, for years Administrator of Ar, was by vote deposed and banished from the city, being publicly denied salt, bread and fire, as had been Marlenus, long years before him, once Ubar of Ar.	10
5	605	Meanwhile Elizabeth would have built a fire and in it burned her clothing.	10
7	4	There was no fire, no light.	10
8	123	"And put bread over the fire," I said, "and honey, and the eggs of vulos, and fried tarsk meat and a Torian larma fruit".	10
11	32	There was a drum fire near the center of the room on the floor.	10
11	38	I saw a branding rack, noted that there were irons in the drum fire.	10
11	60	"Let's look at them," said Ho-Tu, picking up a small metal hand torch with a wick of twisted, tarred straw from the floor and thrusting it into the drum fire.	10
12	78	Marlenus, because he had lost the Home Stone and because the men of Ar feared him and his ambitions, had been publicly denied bread, salt and fire, exiled from the city and forbidden to return on pain of death.	10
13	182	"When he was publicly refused bread, salt and fire on the height of the central cylinder, when he was exiled from Ar, not to return on pain of death, do you know what he said?" "No," I said, "I do not".	10
18	17	Again I saw the dial rotate and the goad now seemed a jet of fire in his hand.	10
18	206	"I had," he said, "shortly before the fire developed a strain of urts resistant to the Dar-Kosis organism; a serum cultured from their blood was injected in other animals, which subsequently we were unable to infect.	10
18	404	He crawled to his knees, squinting against the torch, trying to shelter his eyes with manacled clawlike hands from the sudden, fierce, painful blaze of fire that his world must have then been for him.	10
21	360	"Silence!" roared Murmillius and, obediently, we fought in silence, save for the crying of men, our breathing, the sparkling ring of blades tempered by wine and fire.	10
22	109	I heard the judge's bar, a bristling fire of wings, and the sudden, wild roar of the crowd.	10
22	176	There I saw a Taurentian, armed with a crossbow, lifting it, preparing to fire as Mip passed through the third of the far end rings.	10
22	510	"On!" Ubar of the Skies, like black fire, burned past one ring and another.	10
22	570	I saw four crossbowmen at the box of the Ubar, on a signal from Saphronicus, who stood there, fire.	10
22	582	Cernus did not dare have his men fire on those citizens who so acted.	10
24	405	"No!" Marlenus then, looking at me, took the small brand of fire in his hand.	10
24	406	There was a leaf of fire, bright yellow, at its tip.	10
24	408	"You are refused fire," he said.	10

1	18	It is the height of a tall man; its back, away from the bowman, is flat; its belly, facing the bowman, is half-rounded; it is something like an inch and a half wide and an inch and a quarter thick at the center; it has considerable force and requires considerable strength to draw; many men, incident...	10
1	19	Yet, as a weapon, it has serious disadvantages, and on Gor the crossbow, inferior in accuracy, range and rate of fire, with its heavy cable and its leaves of steel, tends to be generally favored.	10
1	22	It is not difficult to see why, popularly, the crossbow should be regarded as a generally more efficient weapon than the long bow, in spite of being inferior to it, in the hands of an expert, in range, accuracy and rate of fire.	10
1	31	Gorean warriors, generally drawn from the cities, are warriors by blood, by caste; moreover, they are High Caste; the peasants, isolated in their narrow fields and villages, are Low Caste; indeed, the Peasant is regarded, by those of the cities, as being little more than an ignoble brute, ignorant a...	10

6	200	Then I saw another island take fire, one far to the right.	10
7	2	The men of Port Kar had set fire to the two islands, beginning at the farther edges, to drive any who might be concealed on them, perhaps having cut burrows into the rence or hiding in the center oar wells, across the bridges toward the central island, on which had been the pole of the dance, Telima...	10
7	3	Those who had so concealed themselves must then choose between the fire, the marsh, and the nets of slavers.	10
8	88	Occasionally they would fire back, and the bolts of crossbows would drop into the marshes about us, but harmlessly.	10
8	231	I knew, further, that she could not, even were the weapon strung, draw it to the half, but further I knew that, at the range she might fire, the arrow, drawn even to the quarter, might penetrate my back.	10
9	159	Tarnsmen, aflight, might annoy her with arrows or fire, but it did not seem they could seriously harm her, not unless they come in thousands upon thousands, and not even Ar, Glorious Ar, possessed tarn cavalries so great.	10
9	326	She had been branded, and doubtless her thigh still stung from the fire of the iron.	10
9	452	I could see her barely in the light of the coals of the cooking fire, now a flat, reticulated pattern of red and black.	10
11	17	A small fire was burning to one side, where a lamp with candle had been knocked to the floor, in the rush toward the door.	10
11	26	I indicated the small fire burning to one side, that which had been caused by the fallen lamp with candle.	10
11	101	I was confident that the men of the arsenal, in their hundreds, almost to the count of two thousand, would, given the opportunity, control the fire.	10
11	102	Fire has always been regarded as the great hazard to the arsenal.	10
11	110	Already it seemed to me there was less smoke, less fire, from the area of the arsenal.	10
11	192	As nearly as I could gather, Chung had been the most afflicted by the fire, losing perhaps thirty ships.	10
11	195	It amounted to the destruction of one roofed area where Ka-la-na wood was stored, and the partial destruction of another; one small warehouse for the storage of pitch, one of several, had been destroyed; two dry docks had been lost, and the shop of the oar-makers, near the warehouse for oars, had be...	10
11	232	"They were hired by the men of Henrius Sevarius, some to slay captains, some to fire the wharves and arsenal".	10
11	303	I recalled the note I had received before Henrak had burst in upon the council, crying that there was fire in the arsenal.	10
12	54	There, in the heat of a watch fire, I stripped away my clothes and took a cloak from Thurnock.	10
12	71	There, huddled against the inside of the investing wall, naked, wrapped in a warrior's cloak, near the watch fire, sat the boy.	10
14	268	He did not even fire missiles.	10
15	263	There was a clear space before my great table, in which, from time to time, during the evening, entertainments had been provided, simple things, which even I upon occasion found amusing, fire eaters and sword swallowers, jugglers and acrobats, and magicians, and slaves, riding on one another's shoul...	10
17	73	Meanwhile, of course, the numerous bowmen, and the men at the springals, catapults and onagers would be keeping up a heavy fire, the more devastating, the closer the distance.	10
17	408	"Hold your fire!" Then the first of the tarns returned to the flagship, having cast down its flaming bombs of burning oil.	10
17	410	"Fire the ship!" I called to my men.	10
18	152	The boy and I built a fire, over which we might dry our clothes and by which we might warm ourselves.	10
18	278	Heavy wooden mantelets, mounted on posts, were nearby, under which we might protect ourselves from crossbow fire from tarnsmen.	10

10	637	Wildly the man bent down to the fire and picked up a piece of wood from the fire, burning, and thrust it toward the sleen.	10
12	638	The spaces between the wagons provide opportunity for the defenders to fire their crossbows upward at the attackers, and give some protection against the spreading of fire, wagon to wagon.	10
15	1367	There was a small fire in the fire bowl in the tent, and the tiny tripod set above it, where wine might be warmed.	10
15	1388	He turned from me and went to sit down, cross-legged, some feet behind the tiny fire in the fire bowl.	10
15	1393	I poured some of the wine into the small copper bowl, and set it on the tripod over the tiny fire in the fire bowl.	10
3	160	Far below, in the streets, I heard the siren of a fire engine, and the other noises of the city night.	10
6	239	It was reasonably clear that the wagon had been afire, or had come through a fire.	10
7	82	The tarnsmen alighted and ransacked the wagons, setting fire to them.	10
7	93	When he emerged from the thicket he found left only one usable wagon, and that damaged by smoke and fire.	10
7	496	I was surprised to see, glowing near our wagon, a small, hot fire, banked with stones.	10
7	497	From the fire there protruded the handles of two irons.	10
8	903	One of them pointed across the grass to the fire between the wagons.	10
8	908	Ute and Lana sprang to their feet and raced toward the fire.	10
8	911	"Oh!" I cried, in pain, and leaped to my feet, and ran stumbling toward the fire.	10
8	913	Ute, Lana and I ran, laughing and stumbling, barefoot, squealing in protest, crying out in pain, through the darkness over the grass toward the fire.	10
8	920	"Then serve!" cried one of the fellows at the fire, he whose sandal was lost in Ute's dark hair.	10
8	950	Beyond the fire, in the distance, like an irregular margin, a torn, soft, dark edge hiding the bright stars of Gor, I could see the lofty, still blackness of the borders of the northern forests.	10
8	953	Then I heard the laughing of the men, and turned again toward the fire.	10
8	970	The fire was very beautiful, and the shadows on the wagon canvas.	10
8	1017	Lana stood proudly beside the fire, her head back and arms down, and extended, at her sides, while the bells, mounted in their double rows, on their straps, were fastened on her wrists and ankles.	10
8	1096	"Build up the fire," said the leader of the girls, a tall, blondish girl.	10
8	1101	Another of the girls threw wood on the fire.	10
8	1118	"Drag the men about the fire," said the tall girl.	10
8	1120	Together, in pairs, the girls dragged the men back to the fire.	10
8	1139	"Tie the men in sitting positions about the fire," ordered Verna.	10
8	1142	From a distance it would appear that they sat about the fire.	10
8	1161	From a distance it might appear they were merely sitting about the fire, celebrating, two Kajirae at their feet.	10
8	1172	"Put more wood on the fire," commanded Verna.	10
8	1173	More logs were thrown on the fire.	10
8	1193	Her girls followed her, leaving the fire, and the bound men, and Ute and Lana, whom they had tied at the feet of two of the guards.	10
9	68	I recalled with shame how I had, near the fire, placing my guard's hand in my binding fiber, encouraged my own ravishment as a slave girl, and how I had knelt, my hair falling about his face, to kiss him.	10
10	85	He took one and put it on the fire at the side of the room, in a shallow, rimmed, stone hearth.	10
10	145	I sat at the table, and watched him as he threw another log on the fire.	10
10	156	He threw the match into the fire.	10
10	606	He took the red-silk robe, and cast it into the fire.	10
10	624	The large, wide, triangular head of the sleen, its nocturnal eyes blinking against the sudden light of the fire, thrust further into the room, followed by its shoulders, then its right, clawed paw.	10
10	631	Then the man picked up a piece of wood, kindling, from near the fire, and struck the sleen.	10
11	1101	If the coin is to be yours, argue such men, it will be; and if the woman is destined, some night, on this or another, in your tent, on your rugs, by the light of your fire, to feel your chains locked on her body, she will.	10
12	649	"They will now use fire," said Ute.	10
12	652	Wagons caught fire.	10
13	175	Perhaps the most extraordinary thing Ute did, to my mind, was, with sticks, a flat piece of wood and some binding fiber, make a small fire drill.	10
13	213	"Then build the fire," said Ute.	10
13	214	"You know I cannot manage the fire drill," I said, angrily.	10
13	216	"Then," said Ute, "let us not make a fire".	10
13	217	"No," I said, "I cannot eat raw flesh! We must have a fire!" "It is dangerous," said Ute.	10
13	218	"Make a fire, Ute," I begged.	10
13	249	When we had cleaned the animals, and the birds, and the fish, which latter job I left to Ute, for I did not like to touch the creature, Ute bent over the fire drill.	10
13	255	In a few minutes, we had our fire.	10
13	260	It would be pleasant to eat by the fire, and warm ourselves, while we enjoyed our open-air repast.	10
13	263	"Putting out the fire," she said.	10
13	269	"Do not put out the fire, Ute," I said.	10
13	274	But scarcely more than a Gorean Ihn had passed before Ute, suddenly, with a look of terror in her eyes, began to fling dirt on the fire.	10
13	279	The fire was now out.	10
13	328	The men had made no fire.	10
13	350	"Yet," pointed out the first, "we saw her fire".	10
13	351	"True," said the second, "though she seems clever, though she seems intelligent, though she has well eluded us this far, she yet built a fire".	10
13	353	"Any girl foolish enough to build a fire," he said, "will, sooner or later, be caught".	10
13	355	"We know that she had a fire," said the first.	10
13	412	She was trying, with a pointed stick, to round a pit in a new board for a new fire drill.	10
13	493	I was not confident of my ability to construct or use an efficient fire drill.	10
13	494	More importantly, I knew that it was dangerous to make a fire.	10
14	204	Inside, in a brass pan, there was a small fire of coals.	10
14	218	I wondered what it would be like to lie within such a tent, naked and collared, on its soft rugs, in the light of the small fire, the tent flaps tied shut, completely at the mercy of its master.	10
15	264	I had washed several myself, and, sprinkling them with water, and sweating, had pressed them on a smooth board, using the small, heavy, rounded Gorean irons, heated over fire.	10
15	290	A bowl of water was nearby, and a fire, over which, on an iron plate fixed on stones, there were, heating, five, small, flat-bottomed, rounded, wooden-handled Gorean irons.	10
15	340	"I know little of such work," said Verna, "but are you not in danger of scorching the garment which you are ironing?" I hastily drew away the iron, placing it on the fire-heated plate.	10
15	361	Before it, about a fire, there sat two brawny, magnificent huntsmen.	10
15	614	The fire was quite hot, and it had apparently been heating for some two or three Ahn, perhaps even from the time we had gone forth to pick berries.	10
15	686	I saw Rask, with a heavy glove, draw forth one of the irons from the fire.	10
15	719	Rask of Treve lifted the last iron from the fire.	10
15	1222	I could hear, from back at the fire, yet another girl jeered from the sand.	10
15	1225	Another shout from the fire indicated that a new girl now addressed herself to the pleasures of the feasters, and one, it seems, pleasing to them.	10
15	1233	I could hear more shouting back at the fire.	10
15	1373	I could see the glint of the precious metals, and the refulgence of gems, reflecting the light of the fire and the lamps.	10
15	1392	I then took the wine, with a small copper bowl, and a black, red-trimmed wine crater, to the side of the fire.	10
15	1394	He sat cross-legged, facing me, and I knelt by the fire, facing him.	10
15	1395	After a time I took the copper bowl from the fire and held it against my cheek.	10
15	1402	Again I took the bowl from the fire.	10
15	1404	I poured the wine from the small copper bowl into the black, red-trimmed wine crater, placing the small bowl in a rack to one side of the fire.	10
15	1487	To my terror I saw him unroll heavy furs and cast them scornfully over the rugs near the small fire.	10
16	119	In some few tents there glowed a dim redness, through the canvas sides of the tent, the light of the tiny fire bowls within.	10
17	170	Then one day we had done little but speak to one another, at great length, with much gentleness and intimacy, and in the night, after our lovings, had spoken together, long, lying before the fire.	10
17	214	One was the fellow whom I had fought, by the fire, but to whom I must now completely yield.	10

18	474	In the legends of others they appear as blond giants, breathing fire, shattering doors, giants taller than trees, with pointed ears and eyes like fire and hands like great claws and hooks; they are seen as savages, as barbarians, as beasts blood-thirsty and mad with killing, with braided hair, clad ...	10
6	380	"Do not put out the fire," I told my men, "but stay back from it".	10
6	381	That we kept the fire burning would indicate that our intentions were not hostile, and that we wished to make contact.	10
6	382	We remained back from the fire to make it more difficult for the panther girls, were it their intention, to slay us from the darkness with arrows.	10
6	386	But the fire was not covered.	10
6	387	I stood near the fire, and lifted my arms, that they might see I held no weapons.	10
6	396	"Build up your fire," she commanded.	10
6	398	Reluctantly Thurnock heaped more wood on the fire, until the interior of the perimeter was well illuminated in the darkness.	10
6	399	We could not see much beyond the fire.	10
6	400	"Keep the fire high," said the woman.	10
6	404	I dropped my belt, with sword and sheath, and knife, to the ground, beside the fire.	10
6	408	In the light from the recently built-up fire I could see her more clearly.	10
6	426	With her foot she kicked the dropped weapons closer the fire, away from my men.	10
6	427	"Sit," she said to them, indicating a place near the back of the wall of stakes, "and face the fire".	10
6	431	She had had them face the fire, that their eyes might not quickly adapt to night vision.	10
6	432	If the fire were suddenly extinguished they would, for an Ehn, for all practical purposes, be blind, at the mercy of the panther girls.	10
6	434	The girl now sat down across from me, cross-legged, near the fire.	10
6	441	Sheera was thrust forward, and forced to her knees, head down, by the fire.	10
6	733	* * * * I and my men, save the posted guards, sat about the fire on the beach, within the wall, not far from the inclining hull of the Tesephone.	10
6	772	"Build up the fire," I said.	10
6	832	Most of those at the fire were as startled as the handsome young seaman when they saw the wristlet in Tina's hand.	10
6	834	Chagrined, but laughing, the young man rebuckled the wristlet, and went and sat down by the fire.	10
6	897	She, a slave, bound, turned her lips to his, carried from the fire to her chains, in the darkness of the wall, on the other side of the Tesephone.	10
6	899	He put his arm about Cara, and together they left the fire.	10
6	905	The fire had burned low, and the guard had been changed, before we were finished.	10
6	1098	Cara had already lit a fire.	10
7	114	Marlenus, in Ar, had once banished me, denying me bread, fire and salt.	10
7	179	But to ease the bow is to move, and it is to be unready to fire.	10
7	320	On a wooden spit, set on sticks, grease dropping into the fire and flaming, was a thigh of tabuk.	10
7	398	Rim carried her from the small fire, and moved into the darkness.	10
8	24	A similar plan, but swifter, requires setting fire to the camp and its encircling wall.	10
8	30	Perhaps most to be dreaded is the spread of fire to the forest itself.	10
8	42	"No," I said, "we will not use fire".	10
8	43	A further consideration, of course, was that we were now in the late summer, and the dangers of fire were maximized.	10
9	143	"Marlenus," she said, "in his great fist, crumpled this note, and discarded it, throwing it in the fire".	10
10	93	"You denied me bread, and fire and salt".	10
14	7	There were sharpened logs about, fallen, some blackened by fire.	10
14	127	Then one of the men of Tyros lifted the iron, glowing redly, from the fire.	10
14	136	The man with the leather glove thrust the iron back in the fire.	10
14	239	It was he who had, long ago, banished me from the city of Ar, denying me bread, fire and salt.	10
14	316	Marlenus had once denied me bread, and fire and salt.	10
15	112	We could not, of course, risk a fire.	10
18	191	I could not well fire into the palisade without approaching near the water, without leaving the shelter of the forest.	10
18	241	I noted that, as I would have supposed, and had been anticipating, that the girls driven forth now to gather wood for the fire were not panther girls.	10
18	490	One side of her body was red in the reflected light of the great fire.	10
18	493	"Keep the fire high," I told her.	10
18	545	He sheathed his sword and, by the hair, pulled her to her feet and faced her to the fire.	10
19	148	"Entrance," called one of the two men who had been outside, adding fuel to the beacon fire.	10
19	154	A man of Tyros threw more wood on a fire inside the stockade, well illuminating the interior.	10
19	339	I noted the number of feet I stood from the fire.	10
19	416	In the shadows, in the background, by the light of the fire, two paces from me, I saw the tall, mighty frame of Marlenus of Ar.	10
19	452	They were beautiful, like points of fire, marking the camps of armies in the night.	10
20	21	I must move to the fire.	10
20	32	Twice more I thrust, and then, kicking, broke the fire into a scattering of brands, plunging the stockade into darkness.	10
20	36	"Free us!" "Fire! Torches!" cried Sarus.	10
20	63	"Rebuild the fire!" I moved again.	10
20	194	Soon we shall rebuild a fire.	10
20	218	Within the circle, obediently, the women, in the light of the torch, gathered wood, mostly the remains of the original fire, which I had destroyed earlier.	10
20	247	"More fire".	10
20	249	And, within the circle, lit by the torches, burned a fire.	10
20	269	The fire burned higher now.	10
20	296	"Look behind you, Bosk of Port Kar! It is over! Over!" "If one moves," said I to Sheera and Verna, "fire upon him".	10
21	38	She broke away from Turus and ran and knelt before Sarus who stood, still, near the fire, haggard, angry, his blade in his hand.	10
21	69	I heard the fire of the torches crackling.	10
21	71	"Fire," he said.	10
21	85	I had freed him, he whom I envied, he who had denied me bread, and fire and salt in Ar.	10
21	149	The men threw their catches, terrified, before the fire.	10
21	183	I examined the panther women, now supine, now tightly bound, before the fire.	10
22	68	"You are denied bread, and fire and salt," said Marlenus.	10
22	198	We could not have stopped her, did she then fire.	10
22	200	"Fire," he had challenged her, but she had not fired.	10

Also, of course, when the ship ...	10
3	86	Fire soon bit into the timbers behind the sanctuary.	10
3	87	The Forkbeard then leaped over the rail of the sanctuary and strode among the people lying on their stomachs, the wall facing the Sardar being eaten by fire, illuminating the interior of the temple.	10
3	163	I could see the fire creeping now, too, to the roof.	10
3	185	The fire had now climbed well unto the roof and had taken hold on another wall, near the railing, against which the women, earlier, had stood.	10
3	333	Too, it is easier to fire it through a thole port, the oar withdrawn.	10
3	364	"Do not fire," called Ivar Forkbeard to his bowmen.	10
5	232	With them, her hair combed, warmed with a broth of dried bosk meat, heated in a copper kettle, over a fire on a rimmed iron plate, legged, set on another plate on the stern quarter, her hands tied behind her with simple binding fiber, had gone Aelgifu.	10
6	197	A fifth man, with a heavy, leather glove, drew forth one of the irons from the fire; the air about its tip shuddered with heat.	10
6	323	A fire, in a rounded pit, was in its center.	10
7	274	Then in the light of a torch, lifted by the Forkbeard, lit from being thrust beneath the ashes of the fire pit, we saw it.	10
9	162	"In the fire there, burn your clothing, completely".	10
9	324	The left side of her body was illuminated dully, redly, from the coals of the fire pit.	10
9	334	He rose to his feet and shoved back a long table, and a bench, on the other side of the fire pit.	10
9	363	The coals of the fire pit illuminated the left side of her body.	10
12	53	On the other hand, if it is heated slowly, over a tiny fire, this same process consumes several hours.	10
13	15	There was, extending almost the length of the hall, a pit for a "long fire," over which food was prepared for retainers.	10
13	21	Similarly, at the tables parallel to the high-seat table, smaller tables flanking the long fire on both sides, the tables nearest the high seat counted as being above the salt, those farthest away being below the salt.	10
13	145	Many were the roast tarsk and roast bosk that had roasted over the long fire, on the iron spits.	10
13	148	The smoke from the fire found its way high into the rafters, and, eventually, out of the holes cut in the peaked roof.	10
13	150	Light was furnished from the cooking fire but, too, from torches set in rings on the wall, backed with metal plating; too, here and there, on chains from the beams, high above, there hung large tharlarion-oil lamps, which could be raised and lowered from the sides.	10
13	214	There had been much laughter when one of the acrobats had fallen into the long fire, to leap scrambling from it, rolling in the dirt.	10

13	216	When one had been pulled into the fire the other had thrown the hide over him and stomped upon him.	10
13	217	Before the fellow in the fire could free himself he had been much burned.	10
13	228	Male thralls turned the spits over the long fire; female thralls, bondmaids, served the tables.	10
14	77	A girl, kneeling in the dirt, near the long fire, saw him, and ran screaming away.	10
14	157	It filled the pit of the long fire.	10
14	177	The spear's shaft gouged a trench six inches deep behind him, and then stopped, and the Kur, biting in the air, eyes like fire, backed away, and fell backward; Ivar leaped away as another ax sought him.	10
14	251	Hand over hand I crawled up the chain; then the chain shook, wildly; I struggled to hold it; the fire at my right sleeve snapped back and forth; I lost my breath; I feared my neck would break; blood was on the chain; I held it; Kurii howled beneath me; I moved further up the chain; then the chain st...	10
