3 193 Toward the end of my training I always fought with shield and helmet.

4 92 I caught a glimpse of a black helmet through the port as a warrior, still clutching a crossbow and mounted on his tarn, hauled up on the one-strap and flew from the window.
Details
10
4 144 At his feet lay a helmet, shield, spear, and sword.
Details
10
4 156 About my shoulder he slung the steel sword, fastened on my left arm the round shield, placed in my right hand the spear, and slowly lowered the helmet on my head.
Details
10
4 165 I removed my helmet, feeling proud as I heard the approval of the Council, both in voice and by Gorean applause, the quick, repeated striking of the left shoulder with the palm of the right hand.
Details
10
5 167 As I passed him, I saw his eyes wide in the Y of his helmet, as, in that split second, he knew I could not miss.
Details
10
6 9 Once a warrior without a helmet flew near, drunk, and challenged me for the perch, a wild tarnsman of low rank, spoiling for a fight.
Details
10
7 220 The officer, a swaggering fellow whose helmet, though polished, bore the marks of combat, approached me, holding his sword to me, and seized my weapon from its scabbard and the girl's dagger from my belt.
Details
10
8 96 I didn't want to be burdened with a helmet.
Details
10
9 92 In a minute the rider appeared in view—a fine, bearded warrior with a golden helmet and a tharlarion lance.
Details
10
9 151 His face was white beneath his helmet as he wildly attempted to parry my devastating attack.
Details
10
11 62 He wore the black helmet of a member of the Caste of Assassins.
Details
10
11 72 I could not forget the figure on the throne, he of the black helmet, and I thought perhaps that he had noticed me and had reacted.
Details
10
12 7 I cleared my head as best I could, and into my uncertain field of vision moved a dark object, which became the black helmet of a member of the Caste of Assassins.
Details
10
12 8 Slowly, with a stylized movement, the helmet was lifted, and I found myself staring up into a gray, lean, cruel face, a face that might have been made of metal.
Details
10
12 54 That I swear by the black helmet of my caste".
Details
10
12 98 My hair froze as I heard the shrill, angry cry of another tarn; he was an enormous creature as sable as the helmet of Pa-Kur, his wings beating like whips, bearing down relentlessly on my captor.
Details
10
15 49 Soon, my heart beating quickly, my features concealed by the helmet I had taken from the warrior in the Voltai, I approached the compound of Mintar.
Details
10
15 72 At last the weary figure of Kazrak, helmet in hand, bent down to enter the tent.
Details
10
15 74 He came through the opening, dropped his helmet on the sleeping mat, and began to unsling his sword.
Details
10
15 112 It was now dark, and as I wore my helmet, there was no chance of the casual observer determining my identity.
Details
10
16 10 I dyed my hair black and acquired the helmet and gear of an Assassin.
Details
10
16 11 Across the left temple of the black helmet I fixed the golden slash of the messenger.
Details
10
16 93 With a heavy heart I watched Kazrak loop his sword belt over his shoulder and pick up his helmet.
Details
10
16 96 In a few minutes I gathered together my own gear and put on the heavy black helmet of the Assassin, left the tent, and turned my steps in the direction of the tents of Pa-Kur.
Details
10
16 104 It would be suicide to attempt to cut my way in, but Pa-Kur was in the environs of Ar, directing the siege operations, and I might, with luck, pass myself off as his messenger; who would be bold enough to deny entrance to one whose helmet bore the golden slash of the courier? Without hesitation I cl...

16 120 Here I was admitted without question, as though my helmet were sufficient guarantee in itself of my right to be there.

Details
10
17 98 It was as a warrior of Gor that I arose and donned the black helmet and the garments of the Caste of Assassins.
Details
10
18 21 I wore the garb of the Caste of Assassins, and on the left temple of the black helmet was the golden slash of the messenger.
Details
10
18 109 My helmet protected me as my head was roughly dragged against the granite of the ceiling.
Details
10
18 185 I removed my helmet and set it on the steps.
Details
10
19 18 He lowered his helmet onto his head and loosened his shield and spear.

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
23 130 I unbuckled the helmet strap and gently removed the helmet.
Details
10
2 20 I noticed, a few feet from me, lying on the grass, a helmet, shield and spear, and a bundle of folded leather.
Details
10
2 22 The helmet was bronze, worked in the Greek fashion, with a unitary opening somewhat in the shape of a Y.
Details
10
2 79 I was puzzled that the garb, like the helmet and shield, bore no insignia.
Details
10
2 81 I donned the helmet, and slung the shield and sword over my left shoulder.
Details
10
4 4 Yet why was the road untended? Why had it not been traveled? Why had Zosk of the Caste of Carriers of Wood acted as he had? Why did my shield, my helmet, my accouterments not bear the proud sign of Ko-ro-ba? Once I shouted in pain.
Details
10
4 63 I pulled off the helmet and wiped the cold water from my eyes.
Details
10
4 65 I replaced the helmet, it bright, and then dark, running with rain.
Details
10
5 123 I resheathed my sword, fastened my helmet over my shoulder, lifted my shield and spear and set out in the direction of the Sardar Mountains.
Details
10
6 202 The eyes of the officer were narrow in the Y-like opening of his helmet.
Details
10
7 19 He removed his helmet, and sat on his heels in the grass, the warrior behind him.
Details
10
9 106 I leaned my shield and spear against the wall, set the helmet beside the table, unslung the sword belt, laying the weapon across the table before me, and prepared to wait.
Details
10
10 15 He looked at me, his gray eyes frank in the Y-slot in his somber blue helmet of Tharna.
Details
10
11 27 The warrior at the foot of the throne removed his helmet.
Details
10
11 93 There was a whimpering and a scuffling from behind me, and, to my astonishment, one of the guardsman of the palace, the tiny silver mask blazed across the left temple of his helmet, flung Ost, the conspirator, yoked and sniveling, to the foot of the throne.
Details
10
16 9 As I passed over the pillar, a warrior removed his helmet, and signaled for me to bring the tarn down.
Details
10
20 32 I walked across the compound and picked up a helmet which lay half hidden in the litter.
Details
10
20 35 I had sought equipment, but I had found only a scabbard and a damaged helmet, and soon the tarnsmen of Tharna would arrive.
Details
10
21 17 I thrust my sword back in the scabbard and took off my helmet.
Details
10
21 256 "And the helmet!" said Targo.
Details
10
21 259 Almost as an afterthought, he plucked the helmet from my grasp.
Details
10
21 264 Strange and cruel are the ways of Gor, I thought, where six small green stones, weighing perhaps scarcely two ounces, and a damaged helmet, could purchase a human being.
Details
10
22 200 "I noted by the blue helmet," he said, "that you were of Tharna".
Details
10
23 131 One side of the helmet had been cracked open, perhaps by the blow of an ax.
Details
10
23 132 The helmet straps, the leather inside, and the blond hair of the soldier were soaked with his blood.
Details
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.
Details
10
24 150 Though he wore the blue helmet of Tharna I knew that it was Thorn.
Details
10
24 156 "Tal, Warrior," said Thorn, removing his helmet.
Details
10
24 198 He removed his helmet.
Details
10
24 217 "I am sure!" He removed his helmet.
Details
10
24 220 Another warrior removed his helmet.
Details
10
24 222 Yet another man took from his head the blue helmet.
Details
10
24 263 On the steps before the throne there stood a warrior, fully armed, who held in his hands the blue helmet of his city.
Details
10
24 264 Thorn lowered his helmet slowly over his features.
Details
10
25 11 Seemingly almost impassive, the golden-robed figure on the throne watched the two warriors moving backward and forward before her, one clad in the blue helmet and gray tunic of Tharna, the other in the universal scarlet of the Gorean Caste of Warriors.
Details
10
26 91 "And should I ever again be tempted to be proud or cruel," she said, a smile in her voice, "I shall merely remind myself that I was once sold for fifty silver tarn disks—and that a warrior once purchased me for only a scabbard and a helmet".
Details
10
26 93 "And a helmet," she laughed.

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 62 I could see he carried a small, round, leather shield, glossy, black, lacquered; he wore a conical, fur-rimmed iron helmet, a net of colored chains depending from the helmet protecting his face, leaving only holes for the eyes.
Details
10
1 66 I hung my helmet over my left shoulder with the sheathed short sword; on my left arm I bore my shield; in my right hand I carried the Gorean war spear.
Details
10
2 65 I also noted, about his throat, now lowered, there was a soft leather wind scarf which might, when the helmet veil was lifted, be drawn over the mouth and nose, against the wind and dust of his ride.
Details
10
2 113 He was dressed much as the first man, except that no chain depended from his helmet, but his wind scarf was wrapped about his face.
Details
10
2 121 Beneath it, however, partially concealed by the cloth, was apparently a mask of chain, presumably not unlike that of the first rider, the chain depending from the helmet.
Details
10
2 159 He drew the scarf down, from about his face, and threw back, over his helmet, a mask of dependent chains, and laughed.
Details
10
2 164 Now the rider in front of me lifted the colored chains from his helmet, that I might see his face.
Details
10
4 14 The helmet which I had slung over my shoulder was gone.
Details
10
4 59 The Tuchuk removed his helmet and threw it to the grass.

5 14 I suppose the Tuchuks worship nothing, in the common sense of that word, but it is true they hold many things holy, among them the bosk and the skills of arms, but chief among the things before which the proud Tuchuk stands ready to remove his helmet is the sky, the simple, vast beautiful sky, from ...

10 435 He wore a helmet and carried the Turian shield, which is oval.

21 3 Vancius, of the guards, turned the key in the helmet lock that fastened the helmet on my head.
Details
10
21 136 "Bring the other helmet!" One of the girls presented Ho-Tu with another helmet.
Details
10
22 597 He removed his helmet, the arena helmet which had for so many months concealed his features.
Details
10
1 51 He picked up his short sword in its scabbard, his helmet and his shield.
Details
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.
Details
10
15 113 For one thing he never slew an opponent, though the man often could never fight again; the afternoon I had seen him the crowd cried for the death of his defeated opponent, lying bloodied in the sand, pleading for mercy between his legs, and Murmillius had lifted his sword as though to slay the man, ...
Details
10
21 2 "Murmillius is apparently victorious again," said Vancius of the House of Cernus, lifting a blind helmet and fitting it over my head.
Details
10
21 67 Within the helmet I smiled.
Details
10
21 88 Inside the blind helmet I could see nothing.
Details
10
21 99 "Now, Vancius," I heard, "you are mine!" I tried to tear the steel helmet from my head with my manacled wrists.
Details
10
21 113 I heard the key move in the lock, and felt air as the helmet was lifted.
Details
10
21 139 "It is such a helmet," said Ho-Tu, "that your opponents, the finest swordsmen in the Taurentians, will wear".
Details
10
21 147 He now took up the discarded helmet of Vancius and drew it on.
Details
10
21 155 Within the helmet I saw him grin.
Details
10
21 158 "Do not yet lock the helmet," said the leader of the girls of the Street of Pots.
Details
10
21 161 She then lifted the helmet from my head and kissed me.
Details
10
21 174 He set the helmet over my head, and Phais locked it, putting the key in my belt.
Details
10
21 184 I did not look directly at the man, fearing that perhaps he might note the nature of the helmet I wore.
Details
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.
Details
10
21 318 I spun and saw, standing beside me, on my right, sword drawn, in the heavy helmet of the arena fighter, with the small round shield, the sheathed right arm and shoulder, Murmillius.
Details
10
21 329 "Cernus had planned that I, too, wear the blind helmet," said he.
Details
10
21 333 "I, too," said he, blade flashing, "was destined for the sport of the blind helmet.
Details
10
21 378 Then to my surprise I saw, with us, fighting, a common Warrior, not a Taurentian, one whose helmet was not laced with gold nor his shield bound with silver, nor his shoulders covered with the purple of the Ubar's guard.
Details
10
21 394 I gave Ho-Tu the key to the helmet I wore, which Phais had thrust in my belt.
Details
10
21 395 Ho-Tu removed the helmet.
Details
10
22 601 Saphronicus, Captain of the Taurentians, removed his purple cloak and his helmet, and walked down the steps from the box to the sand.

22 603 The man then ascended to the box of the Ubar, where he set his helmet on the arm of the throne.

1 16 I had the Gorean short sword in its scabbard, my shield and helmet, and, wrapped in leather, a Gorean long bow of supple Ka-la-na wood, from the yellow wine trees of Gor, tipped with notched bosk horn at each end, loose strung with hemp whipped with silk, and a roll of sheaf and flight arrows.
Details
10
2 38 I wore no insignia on my garments, nor on my helmet or shield.
Details
10
3 39 Ho-Hak looked at the garb of the warrior, the helmet and shield, the sword with its scabbard, and the leather-wrapped bow of supple Ka-la-na wood, with its roll of sheaf and flight arrows.
Details

6 41 I heard then from another side of the island as well the terrifying cry, "Nets, nets!" Then, as we milled and ran, here and there among us were men of Port Kar, warriors, some with helmet and shield, sword and spear, others with club and knife, others with whips, some with capture loops, some with c...
Details
10
6 45 With him there stood a tall, bearded helmeted warrior of Port Kar, the golden slash of the officer across the temples of his helmet.
Details
10
6 153 He fell to the matting, his helmet rolling, lost in his own blood.
Details
10
7 32 He was conversing with the bearded officer, tall and with the golden slashes on the temples of his helmet.
Details
10
7 41 One of the slavers, a man with a conical helmet, called the animal to him.
Details
10
7 48 The last two aboard had been Henrak, with his white scarf, and the tall, bearded officer, he with the golden slashes on the temples of his helmet.
Details
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...
Details
10
8 30 He had removed his helmet in the noon heat of the delta.
Details
10
8 68 The officer, bearded and tall, with the two golden slashes on the temples of his helmet, followed by Henrak, still with the scarf bound about his body, ran to the rail.
Details
10
8 111 In this situation, then, it was natural, expecting an attack on either the first or the last barge, that the officer, he of the golden slashes on the temples of his helmet, would concentrate his men in the first and last barges.
Details
10
8 195 I then took the helmet from my things on the rence craft, that without insignia, with empty crest plate, and lifted it until it cleared the side of the barge.
Details
10
8 204 I did place over my features the curved helmet, with its Y-like opening, of the Gorean warrior.
Details
10
8 295 I wore the heavy Gorean helmet, concealing my features.
Details
10
8 297 The helmet bore no insignia.
Details
10
8 448 I removed my helmet.
Details
10
8 776 Already, Thurnock and Clitus, in loading the raft, had placed on it my helmet, and shield, and the great bow, with its arrows.
Details
10
10 49 He was the one who had come to the rence islands, who had had upon his helmet the two golden slashes.
Details
10
10 59 Though his helmet still bore the two golden slashes, it now bore as well a crest of sleen hair, permitted only to captains.
Details
10
10 326 I saw Lysias, with his helmet, with the two golden slashes, with its captain's crest of sleen hair, on the arm of his curule chair.
Details
10
11 8 Then I saw that Lysias, with the captain's crest of sleen hair on his helmet, had not stirred from his chair.
Details
10
11 12 He placed on his head his helmet.
Details
10
11 317 As Lysias spoke he walked back and forth before the table, his cloak swirling behind him, his helmet, with its captain's crest of sleen hair, in the crook of his arm.
Details
10
11 330 Lysias stood scowling before Samos, his helmet in the crook of his arm, his long cloak falling behind him.
Details
10
11 371 Then Nigel, with lofty disdain and measured tread, carrying his helmet, departed the chamber.
Details
10
11 386 Another man behind him held his helmet.
Details
10
11 613 I gathered up my cloak, and my helmet, it with the captain's crest of sleen hair, and left the chamber.
Details
10
13 165 He carried, in the crook of his left arm, a helmet, bearing that crest of sleen hair that marks a captain of Port Kar.
Details
10
13 166 The helmet, too, bore two golden slashes.
Details
10
18 197 "At him!" cried Lysias, helmeted, the helmet bearing the crest of sleen hair, marking it as that of a captain.
Details
10
18 204 Then the shadow had donned a helmet, and it was almost indistinguishable from the others.
Details
10
18 548 Samos thrust his blade into the Y-shaped opening of a helmet, parried a spear thrust from his body, and met the steel of another man.
Details
10
18 605 Protruding from his forehead, its pile stopped by the metal helmet in the back, was the long shaft of an arrow, one that could be only from the peasant bow.
Details
10
18 618 For an instant, white-faced, wild, I saw below Lysias, with his helmet with its crest of sleen hair, and beside him, with the string of pearls of the Vosk sorp about his forehead, the rencer Henrak, who had, long ago, betrayed the rencers for the gold of Port Kar.
Details
10
18 673 Then he fell at my feet, his helmet rolling to the side, blood on the sleen-hair crest, that marking it as that of a captain.
