They only wished to hurry, to leave the forest as soon as possible, to escape. |
10 |

In desperation, to my pleasure, some fifteen men of Tyros entered the forest. |
10 |
| 16 | 76 |
In all, throughout the day, the great bow had spoken forty-one times, and forty-one men of Tyros now lay scattered along the trail and in the forest, feed for prowling sleen. |
10 |
| 16 | 139 |
One on each arm they conducted her through the forest until they came to a place we had agreed upon, in which we had placed four stakes. |
10 |

"Was it to you," she asked, "that I submitted in the forest? Is it you whose slave I am?" "Yes," I said. |
10 |

Rather he looked angrily, anxiously, into the forest, and then turned away. |
10 |

Three furs I had brought back to Vinca and the other two paga slaves, that they might be comforted from the hard ground and protected from the cold forest nights. |
10 |

She had stayed behind, to defend her fallen sisters of the forest. |

"The sea!" He stumbled forth from the thickets, and, behind them, the lofty trees of the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 37 |
They had come through the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 47 |
Now, sullen, angry, at the edge of the forest, I saw a slave chain of twenty-one men. |
10 |
| 18 | 50 |
Seventy-five men had been abandoned in the forest, still wearing the chains that had been hammered about their necks and wrists. |
10 |
| 18 | 62 |
Abandoned in the forest they would die of thirst, or hunger, or of exposure or the attacks of beasts. |
10 |
| 18 | 110 |
It had been removed, that they might move more rapidly through the forest, eluding those who pursued the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura. |
10 |
| 18 | 164 |
The forest was behind them. |
10 |
| 18 | 166 |
In the darkness of the forest, I smiled. |
10 |
| 18 | 167 |
* * * * During the afternoon I observed the slave girls, tied in pairs, by the neck, each pair under the guard of a man of Tyros and a panther girl, gathering driftwood and, from the forest's edge, broken branches. |
10 |
| 18 | 178 |
Meanwhile, in good order, with confidence, several men of Tyros entered the forest and cut large numbers of stout saplings. |
10 |
| 18 | 184 |
It shielded them from the forest. |
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 | 223 |
I washed with a bit of water from a stream, ate some tabuk strips from my wallet, and went again to the edge of the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 248 |
All of these girls were terrified of the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 256 |
The men of Tyros, following the weeping girls with their whips, did not care to enter the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 258 |
"Do not drive us into the forest!" begged Cara. |
10 |
| 18 | 263 |
Weeping, the two girls sprang to their feet and ran to the edge of the forest and, trying not to enter into its shadows, rapidly, weeping, began to break branches and gather wood. |
10 |
| 18 | 271 |
But, too, they feared the forest, the darkness, the animals. |
10 |
| 18 | 273 |
The forest at night, with its sounds, its perils, the teeth and claws of its predators, was a nightmare of terror for them. |
10 |
| 18 | 280 |
"And deeper in the forest," said he. |
10 |
| 18 | 285 |
From far off, in the forest, came the snarling cry of a panther. |
10 |
| 18 | 324 |
There would be wonderment at that, of course, for the girls had been only girls of the civilized city, thought to be terrified of the forest night. |
10 |
| 18 | 354 |
"To the edge of the forest, Slaves," I told them. |
10 |
| 18 | 355 |
At the fringe of the forest, overlooking the sloping beach, covered with its stones, and, lower, with its sand, I found a strong, slender tree, with an outjutting branch some five feet from the ground, the branch facing away from the water. |
10 |
| 18 | 496 |
I took Cara into the woods, a hundred yards or so from the forest's edge. |
10 |
| 18 | 503 |
I returned to the edge of the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 506 |
I called to Tina, softly, from the shadows of the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 556 |
"But there were sleen, panthers, in the forest. |
10 |

"I cannot live in the forest," she wept. |
10 |
| 18 | 658 |
From the shadows of the forest I observed the lanterns. |
10 |

Many of them took up positions about the palisade; others scouted the beach to the north, and the nearby forest edges. |
10 |
| 19 | 28 |
Today, concealed in the forest, I had seen men cutting more logs. |
10 |
| 19 | 33 |
As the men had worked on these logs, fastening them into rafts, slaves, Marlenus and the others, male and female, had been forced to stand between the rafts and the forest. |
10 |
| 19 | 35 |
I could have slain some men cutting in the forest, but little would have been accomplished. |
10 |
| 19 | 39 |
They could shield themselves, either with wood or slaves, from the forest. |
10 |

She had wished to carry the tools into the forest, but in her own way, free. |
10 |

She would, accordingly, if she did not find Vinca and the chained men, perish in the forest. |
10 |

Grenna, too, who had once been Hura's lieutenant, whom I had captured in the forest, was bound in the same coffle. |
10 |
| 22 | 16 |
Among the men, clad, too, like Verna's women, in skins, were Marlenus' own slave girls, those who had been brought to the forest by him, who, like the others, had been captured at his camp. |
10 |

Together we turned to face the forest, and waited. |

| 13 | 6 |
The forest had been rather silent as he had entered it, save for certain cries, as of the calls of birds. |
10 |
| 13 | 13 |
These denizens of the forest were far from human cattle. |
10 |
| 13 | 41 |
Perhaps they do not wish to utter sound too near the edge of the forest, thought Cabot. |
10 |
| 13 | 123 |
The forest people were instantly apprehensive, and alert. |
10 |
| 14 | 17 |
The forest people did not cook their meat, even when freshly taken. |
10 |
| 14 | 39 |
He was sure there must be a hunting party of Kurii in the forest, perhaps not far away. |
10 |
| 14 | 42 |
Too, it seemed possible that Pyrrhus would not wish his group to enter the forest too soon after his return to the Steel World. |
10 |
| 14 | 43 |
Too, he might have hoped that after a suitable interval his colleagues' work might prove unnecessary, for Cabot might in the meantime have succumbed to other terrors of the forest, presumably wild beasts of one sort or another, perhaps even to those dangerous prey animals of his own species. |
10 |

How Kaissa Came to the Forest There is no mistaking the sound of slave bells. |
10 |
| 15 | 20 |
She is released into the forest, and her path may be followed. |
10 |
| 15 | 25 |
Why should that be? Had men scouted the blonde and decided she would look well in the wrapping of a leather collar? If not, why would they not have killed her in the forest? Had Tula and Lana somehow discovered her, and did not know what to do with her? Did they not realize the danger of bringing he... |
10 |
| 15 | 31 |
It is a signal to the Kurii, thought Cabot, a clear indication, far more clear than killing her in the forest, that they understand the Kur ruse, and that they may expect such stratagems to be not only ineffective, but to result in the savage demise of a perhaps valued pet, or slave. |
10 |
| 16 | 16 |
Certainly she held the human animals of the forest, prey animals, as worthy of little respect, saving how they might constitute for her a dreadful imperilment. |
10 |
| 16 | 87 |
He then gave her another vigorous shake, and there was another jangle of bells, which must have carried well into the forest. |
10 |
| 17 | 25 |
In moments, four Kurii were dead, and there was not one other that was not bloodied, and the six remaining Kurii, snarling, and tearing and biting, and sweeping about them with their spears, broke through the opening, and the massed humans, to the forest beyond. |
10 |
| 18 | 1 |
The Ledge One supposes that it was foolish of Cabot to return the blonde to the vicinity of the shuttle port, that she not be left to the beasts and humans of the forest, but such activities are not unprecedented amongst humans. |
10 |
| 18 | 12 |
Cabot then put her from him, and turned to enter the forest, but turned suddenly, angrily, back, half snarling in frustration, went to her, and, in a stride or two, seized her by the arms, and lifted her before him. |
10 |
| 18 | 77 |
Cabot angrily thrust the blonde from him, and turned to face the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 82 |
Before engaging in this endeavor he had, within the forest, placed his prisoner, still leashed and gagged, on her belly in the leaves before a lofty Tur tree, and knelt across her body. |
10 |
| 18 | 111 |
* * * * Cabot left the blond at the shuttle port, to which he had returned her, listened for a bit, and then sped into the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 114 |
Might she not be better in a cage, preferably a tiny one, instructive for her, awaiting her sale? He had no hope of eluding sleen indefinitely, and he did not wish to bring humans of the forest into additional jeopardy. |
10 |
| 18 | 115 |
He had as weapon only the long, sharpened stick, some seven feet in length, a common length for a Gorean spear, which had been given to him by Archon, and retrieved at the edge of the forest, near the shuttle port. |
10 |
| 18 | 131 |
He was supposing it would be immaterial to the hunters whether he was brought down by sleen, which might have been wild sleen of the forest, one might speculate, or slain, supposedly by accident, with a cast of the mighty Kur spear. |
10 |
| 18 | 133 |
He could see forest over his head in the cylinder, as well as about him. |
10 |
| 18 | 135 |
He was interested, too, to note, as he waited, that a film of water, a dense humidity, emerged from various concealed conduits, about him, and doubtless above him, as well, high overhead in the ceiling forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 139 |
The bath of moisture much accentuated the freshness and fragrance of the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 159 |
The eight Kurii were now emerged from the forest and were rather at the bottom of the small escarpment. |
10 |
| 19 | 18 |
A Kur roar, abrupt, definitive, emanated from the forest, and the power weapons were lowered. |
10 |
| 19 | 26 |
But the machine which now emerged, stalking, from the forest, must have been ten to twelve feet at the shoulder. |
10 |
| 19 | 87 |
The body would be left for the beasts of the forest. |
10 |
| 19 | 142 |
"We came to the forest," said the machine, "upon being apprised of your possible danger by Peisistratus, human". |
10 |
| 20 | 89 |
"We can be killed here with more impunity than might a wild sleen in a Gorean forest. |
10 |
| 20 | 135 |
"He sought her in the forest world, and soon found her, near the port, and freed her". |
10 |
| 20 | 149 |
"Once freed, she tried to flee from him, even into the forest, but he easily overtook her". |
10 |
| 21 | 12 |
And would it not be demeaning to you, beloved of Agamemnon, to be caged alone, and I left free?" "I learned from Agamemnon, in the forest, he the metal larl, or within it, somehow, or controlling it, somehow, that you are his human". |
10 |
| 21 | 26 |
"But it sounds not like music, but rather like throbbings, like the wind in the forest, like rushing streams, subtle, distant, sometimes cries, as of seized, frightened animals, such things". |
10 |
| 21 | 300 |
She is held accountable for the debacle in the forest, that of the hunting party of Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 29 | 236 |
She smiled in the dusk, and lifted two handfuls of berries, her gleanings in the forest. |
10 |
| 29 | 243 |
This trove of combustibles had been fetched earlier by the slave, while Cabot had investigated the beach, and prowled within the forest, discovering however no sign of Lord Grendel or the Lady Bina. |
10 |
| 29 | 246 |
While in the forest Cabot had procured a long, sharpened stick. |
10 |
| 29 | 248 |
As yet, Cabot had kindled no fire, but expected to do so later, perhaps the next evening, and then withdraw from it, to the forest, to see who might come, if any, to inquire. |
10 |
| 29 | 332 |
"It is safer for you out here, at night, is it not, big fellow?" Cabot asked the saurian, and he then turned about and climbed the slope toward the forest edge. |
10 |
| 35 | 122 |
"Peisistratus and his men have ferried the game humans from the forest cylinder to the world, hundreds, and he has freed the killer humans, hundreds, too, from their pens and barracks. |
10 |
| 43 | 175 |
"You yourself kissed me," she said, "in the forest world". |
10 |
| 44 | 59 |
"Do you think it wise?" asked Lord Grendel, "to teach the bow to the forest people?" "Yes," said Cabot, "but perhaps not to the killer humans". |
10 |
| 44 | 60 |
Those from the forest world, it might be noted, were also being taught speech. |
10 |
| 44 | 303 |
Several humans, too, particularly of the forest humans, were now becoming adept with the bow. |
10 |
| 47 | 15 |
"Come with us!" cried a fellow, one from the forest cylinder. |
10 |
| 47 | 17 |
Those from the forest world, as noted earlier, were being taught speech. |
10 |
| 47 | 137 |
This modality of aggression, interestingly, frequently characterizes the feeding attack of the smaller Gorean forest panther. |
10 |
| 49 | 15 |
The forest panther sometimes drags its prey into a tree, presumably to keep it safe from smaller predators, or from scavengers. |
10 |
| 50 | 106 |
In the forest we encountered noble Flavion, who brought us here". |
10 |
| 53 | 11 |
Archon, once of the forest humans, cried out with pleasure. |
10 |
| 55 | 226 |
Cabot then, bow strung, an arrow to the string, a quiver at his hip, laden with the birds of death, emerged from the forest. |
10 |
| 57 | 1 |
What Occurred in the Camp of Lord Grendel The gate of the forest camp of Lord Grendel swung open, and an astonished, elated Peisistratus, who had governed the camp in the absence of its lord, rushed forward, stumbling, half-speechless, bewildered. |
10 |
| 64 | 118 |
In Lord Grendel's camps, that of the forest, and that later within their lines, she had been terrified to protest her innocence or even to speak, as she had been warned that her tongue might be torn out. |
10 |
| 67 | 24 |
With these they might burn out a swath of forest, yards wide, with a single charge. |
10 |
| 67 | 35 |
Cabot had no particular destination in mind but he found his steps tending toward Lord Grendel's abandoned forest camp. |
10 |
| 67 | 110 |
He thought of the forest humans, of the men of Peisistratus in the pleasure cylinder, of killer humans, bred for arena games, of the ponderous cattle humans, bred for stupidity and meat. |
10 |
| 68 | 1 |
An Encounter in the Forest "Do not loose your arrow, if you are so armed!" called the Kur. |
10 |
| 68 | 56 |
"Why are you here, alone? What are you doing, here, alone, in the forest?" But the two Kurii had then disappeared into the darkness, amongst the trees. |
10 |
| 70 | 1 |
Flavion It may be recalled, from some time ago, that Cabot, perhaps surprisingly, given that he stood high in the forest camp, and was of the scarlet caste, had tended to the grooming of the scout, Flavion, an office commonly attended to, amongst the lords, by clients and sycophants, and, most ofte... |
10 |
| 70 | 12 |
First, Ramar had been given the scent from the cloth, and, though the scent was old, it was not difficult for a sleen to follow once it had picked it up, which it had, in the forest. |
10 |
| 70 | 45 |
It may be recalled he had retrained the sleen in the forest, beginning with the translator, to substitute Gorean for Kur, such that the animal would now respond only to Gorean, and, as is usual with a sleen and single trainer, only to the particular trainer's commands. |
10 |
| 71 | 16 |
Cabot had two power weapons, one from the forest camp, and one which had been Flavion's. |
10 |
| 73 | 43 |
"My people," said Archon, "may return to the forest world, or remain here, or voyage to Gor". |
10 |
| 73 | 96 |
"Had you not so precipitately sought Flavion," said Lord Grendel, "had you waited for me, had you not rushed off, into the forest, as I learned, I might have spared you some effort". |
10 |
| 73 | 98 |
"I gather," said Lord Grendel, "you believed that a certain slave, who had fled our forest camp, certainly an unwise thing to do, and a most serious offense, one whose gravity she may not have fully understood, had fallen into the company of Flavion". |
10 |
| 74 | 1 |
An Earth Female Finds Herself Kept in a Slave Cage; Feasts, Festivals, and Agons; A Slave is to be Taken into the Forest "Tarl! Tarl!" she cried. |
10 |
| 74 | 50 |
Lord Arcesilaus sat on a dais, at the head of a hundred tables, with Lord Zarendargar, Lord Grendel, and Statius; and Archon, of the forest humans, and Cestiphon, of the killer humans, sat with them. |
10 |
| 74 | 185 |
"I am going to venture into the forest," said Cabot. |
10 |
| 74 | 190 |
"And what," asked Lord Grendel, "is that reason which lies open, and comprehensible, to all?" "To take a slave into the forest, far from civilization, and do with her as I will," Cabot said. |
10 |
| 75 | 4 |
They were deep in the forest. |
10 |
| 75 | 8 |
He was no longer in festive regalia, but a simple tunic, mottled with greens and browns, colors such as might be found in certain natural backgrounds, say, that of forest, a traveling cloak, similarly configured, and the bootlike sandals common to soldiers, and travelers. |
10 |
| 75 | 25 |
The first day in the forest, Ramar, the great sleen, had joined them. |
10 |
| 75 | 70 |
He sat nearby, not sleeping, considering the forest. |
10 |
| 76 | 6 |
This was sufficient, and the collar would mark her as what she was, should she encounter anyone in the forest. |
10 |
| 77 | 1 |
What Occurred Later in the Forest Camp "May I speak, Master?" she asked. |
10 |
| 77 | 121 |
Do you truly think I would fear to violate it, here, far from the habitats, here, in the forest?" "My intention," said Cabot, "is not to rely on the amnesty for my security, but rather that matters be so arranged that I may see it explicitly repudiated". |
10 |
| 77 | 126 |
Doubtless Cabot wished that the slave might have reached the safety of the forest, a desiderated outcome, where she might, a fleet, collared human female, have managed to elude a lame Kur, but he was not surprised when she failed to do so. |
10 |
| 77 | 262 |
Cabot had come to the forest camp, that Flavion would follow. |
10 |
| 77 | 267 |
For example, it would presumably have been easy enough for Cabot, bow in hand, and a quiver filled with the birds of death, to have slain Flavion days ago, in the forest. |
10 |
| 78 | 3 |
We have noted, briefly, the arrival of Lord Grendel at the forest camp. |
10 |
| 78 | 142 |
* * * * It may be recalled that some days ago Lord Grendel, well in advance of certain human allies, arrived at the forest camp. |
10 |
| 78 | 165 |
Lord Grendel later cut off the head, and then sacked the body, and its parts, and dragged them into the forest, where he emptied them, for the feeding of birds, and small animals. |
10 |
| 79 | 113 |
She then recalled that before, in the forest, when she had been put in whip position, she had been fastened, her hands over her head, rather in the open, to a thick, overhead branch. |
10 |
| 79 | 204 |
The men he had brought into the forest, to abet the mission of Lord Grendel, were thus a tiny fraction of his men; but they were picked men, men muchly trusted, men often relied on. |
10 |
| 79 | 207 |
Too, of course, this was a remote forest camp, away from the habitats, and free Kur females, and the men were, after all, Goreans. |
10 |
| 79 | 354 |
Doubtless, after the feast, as he had regained his composure, she would serve him again, for perhaps one or two Ahn, or more, perhaps until the forest, in its softness, and dampness, was ready to awaken. |
10 |
| 79 | 624 |
"Release me into the forest," she suggested. |

"The forest is there!" I said to him, turning his head with my hand toward the forest. |
10 |

To one side there was a tank for water and there were several racks from which hung meat, probably tabuk, forest tarsk, and forest bosk. |
10 |

"The tusks of the forest tarsk, too, could tear me in two, and I could be rent by the horns of the forest bosk, but, like the wind, I do not intend to put myself beneath their tusks or horns". |

I unbuckled the thick, spiked collar from the throat of the giant, lame sleen, Ramar, and pointed behind us, to the forest. |

Then the chain, at the edge of the forest, stopped. |

But then what would they do, where would they go? How would they survive in the forest, naked and chained? Their very survival depended on masters, and, as they were slaves, on pleasing masters. |

We were walking within a path, leading from the logging camp deeper into the forest. |
10 |

This made sense to me, as whatever might be afoot in the forest would not be likely to be of sufficient size and potency to effect much success against Gorean cities with their own tarn forces, which might number in the hundreds and, as of old, in Ar, in their thousands. |

The greater forest tarsk, unlike the common tarsk, can be quite large. |

Indeed, many Goreans have never seen the forest tarsk, and many do not know of its existence. |

The forest bosk tends to be territorial, and, as I have already suggested, it can be quite dangerous. |

"In the forest," I said, "though doubtless within the wands, there is further training, a teacher, a master, for some particular few, amongst whom I would suppose yourself". |

"With whom do you train in the forest?" I asked. |
10 |

"Pertinax," said I, "how do your lessons proceed?" He had been studying for some weeks now with the warrior in the forest, a master of the sword, who was known as Nodachi. |

Others fled into the forest, beyond the wands. |
