Book 1. (14 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 188 Who knew the nature of the things or forces that were afoot that night in the mountains, things and forces that might perhaps smash me, casually, as one innocently steps on an insect without being aware of it or caring? I still had the compass, and that constituted a firm link to reality.

2 171 Even the technology of the envelope with its patterned thumb-lock, the disorientation of my compass, and the ship that had brought me, unconscious, to this strange world, argued for an incredible grasp of unusual, precise, and manipulable forces.

15 33 Given the depth of the foundations of Ar's mighty walls and the mantle of rock on which they were fixed, it would be extremely unlikely that her walls could be successfully undermined to the extent of bringing down a significant section, but it was surely possible that if one of the tunnels managed ...

16 14 Periodically the shrill notes of alarm bugles would pierce the air, as forces from Ar emerged to do battle on the plains before the city.
Details
10
16 16 Sometimes the forces of Pa-Kur drove the warriors of Ar back to the very walls of the city, forcing them through the gates.
Details
10
16 17 Sometimes the forces of Ar would drive the men of Pa-Kur back against the defensive stakes, and once they drove them to take refuge across the now constructed siege bridges spanning the great ditch.
Details
10
16 21 But gradually the tarnsmen of Ar were diminished, overwhelmed by the superior forces which Pa-Kur could, with ruthless liberality, throw against them.
Details
10
16 22 On the ninth day of the siege the sky belonged to Pa-Kur, and the forces of Ar no longer emerged from the great gate.
Details
10
16 42 Meanwhile, at several points in the city and at randomly selected times, picked tarnsmen of Pa-Kur, each of whose tarns carried a dangling, knotted rope of nine spearmen, dropped to the wires and the tops of cylinders, landing their small task forces of raiders.
Details
10
16 43 These task forces seldom managed to return, but sometimes they were outstandingly successful.

28 7 The headquarters for the forces of Misk lay in his compartment and there, pouring over the scent maps of the tunnels, he directed the placement of his defenses.

10
28 8 Thinking to overcome us with little difficulty, the forces of Sarm, mounted on transportation disks, swept through the tunnels and plazas, but the Priest-Kings of Misk, hidden in rooms, concealed behind portals, firing from the ramps and the roofs of buildings in the open complexes, soon took fierce...

10
28 9 In such war the much larger forces of the First Born tended to be neutralized and a situation of infiltration and counterinfiltration developed, marked by frequent sniping and occasional skirmishes.
Details
10
28 10 On the second day of the second week of battle, after the forces of Sarm had withdrawn, I, armed with sword and silver tube, mounted a transportation disk and swept through the no man's land of unoccupied tunnels toward the Vivarium.
Details
10
28 11 Although constantly on the alert, I saw no sign of enemy forces, nor even of Muls or Matoks of various kinds.
Details
10
28 91 I thought, even in spite of the cage plastic, she might be safer with the forces of Misk.
Details
10
28 163 The battle would, I supposed, given the undoubted stores of food available to Sarm and his forces, ultimately hinge on the firepower of the silver tubes, of which Misk's side had few, but still I conjectured that the skills and courage of former Muls might yet play their part in the fierce issues to...

10
28 231 This is undoubtedly the effect of lacking the resistance of gravitational forces which normally account for the sometimes unpleasant, but reassuring, effects of acceleration and deceleration.
Details
10
30 64 But now that Misk's forces possessed a similar weapon Sarm, in fear, set his own similar devices aside.
Details
10
30 67 On the other hand the ships of the two forces tended, it seemed, to neutralize one another, and the war in the air, far from being decisive, as Misk and I had hoped, had begun to turn into the same stalemate that had developed on the ground.
Details
10
30 71 These creatures, perhaps two hundred or more, were loosed and by means of covered transportation disks, piloted by Priest-Kings using oxygen systems internal to the disks, were driven toward the quarters of the Nest controlled by the unsuspecting Misk and his forces.
Details
10
30 77 Now the Beetles roamed at random throughout the Nest, more of a threat to Sarm's own forces than Misk's, for now none of Misk's Priest-Kings ventured abroad without a human to protect it should it encounter a Golden Beetle.
Details
10
30 83 To this generous proposal he added, sensing it might not in itself be irresistible, a tub of salt per man and two female Muls, to be provided after the defeat of Misk's forces, when presumably there would be captured females to distribute to the victors.
Details
10
30 85 To these proposals he added the very definite considerations that his forces still substantially outnumbered those of Misk in both number of Priest-Kings and firepower, and that victory would be his inevitably, and that it would be well at such a time to be in his good favor.
Details
10
30 86 Whereas I would not have abandoned Misk and freedom to join the forces of Sarm, I was forced to admit that the probable victory in the end would be his, and that his proposals might well be attractive to some former Muls, particularly those who had occupied a position of some importance in the Nest ...

10
30 87 I should not have been surprised, but I was, when the first deserter from the forces of Misk proved to be the treacherous Vika of Treve.
Details
10
30 165 I learned from conversation in the headquarters room that not many of the humans who fought with Misk's forces had responded to the blandishments of Sarm, though some, like Vika of Treve, had deserted to cast their fortune with what appeared to be the winning side.
Details
10
30 168 The latter, of course, terrified, bewildered, would be of little service themselves, but they were offered as inducements to the males of Misk's forces to encourage their desertion; the girls were, so to speak, a bounty for treachery, and since the beauty of Chamber Slaves was well known in the Nest...
Details
10
30 191 Growing more desperate, Sarm rallied his forces and armored six dozen transportation disks and swept into Misk's domain.
Details
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
30 197 Then there came a calm in the War and I gathered that Misk's forces had been driven back.

10
31 2 It lay in one of the plazas in the area controlled by the forces of Sarm.
Details
10
31 53 There was a greater problem as to what to do with the former Muls who had deserted to join the forces of Sarm, for the blandishments he had offered, and because they had thought that his side was the one which was winning.

32 107 We ourselves did not find out about it until some technicians joined our forces in the Nest War".

23 101 The battle was joined at the seventh Gorean hour and, as planned, as soon as the Paravaci center was committed, the bulk of our forces wheeled and retreated among the wagons, the rest of our forces then turning and pushing the wagons together.

23 53 For much the same reasons as the Kataii, Conrad was unwilling to commit his forces to the defense of Tuchuk herds.
Details
10
23 60 I knew that in little more than fifteen or twenty Ehn his forces would be lost, dissipated among the wagons, and yet surely the Paravaci must be met and fought there as well as on the prairie.

23 67 Our bosk horns rang out and my brave Thousand, worn in the saddle, weary, on spent kaiila, without a murmur or a protest, turned and following my lead struck into the center of the Paravaci forces.

23 99 Harold and I determined to appear to meet the Paravaci in the open—before the wagons—and then, when they charged, to withdraw among the wagons, and close the wagons on their attacking front, halting the charge, then at almost point-blank range hopefully taking heavy toll of their force...

23 107 About a pasang distant we could see new forces of the Paravaci forming on the crest of a sweeping gradient.

24 9 I and Kamchak expected Saphrar to flee by tarn at any moment, for it must now be clear to him that the strike of the Paravaci against the Tuchuk wagons and herds had not forced Kamchak to withdraw; indeed, his forces were now supplemented by Kataii and Kassars, a development which must have horrifie...
Details
10
24 13 I did ask Kamchak why, considering the probabilities that the Kataii and the Kassars would not have come to the aid of the Tuchuks, he had not abandoned Turia and returned with his main forces to the wagons.
Details
10
24 23 Kamchak's forces, on the whole, were so disposed as to push the Turians toward two gates which he had left open and undefended, thus providing a route of escape for civilians and soldiers who would make use of it.
Details
10
24 40 Still I was not altogether satisfied, for, on the whole, it seemed to me that Turia might yet have survived even had Kamchak's forces wrought much greater destruction than they had—for example, opening but a single gate and permitting only a few hundred, rather than thousands to escape the ci...
