2	200	For example, incredibly enough, weapon technology is controlled to the point where the most powerful devices of war are the crossbow and lance.	10
9	92	In a minute the rider appeared in view—a fine, bearded warrior with a golden helmet and a tharlarion lance.	10
9	105	The warrior gestured at Talena with his lance.	10
9	141	"Yield her or I will have my tharlarion trample you," he snapped, "or would you prefer to be spitted on my lance?" "You know the codes," I said evenly.	10
9	145	"Done!" he cried, fastening his lance in its saddle sheath and slipping from the back of the tharlarion.	10
10	115	Nonetheless, the butt of one's lance, striking about the eye or ear openings, for there are few other sensitive areas in their scaled hides, is occasionally necessary to impress your will on the monster.	10
11	5	Talena ran to the foot of my tharlarion, and with my lance I hoisted her to the saddle so that she could see.	10
14	15	At the entrance of the cave two of his men had set a tharlarion lance, of the sort carried by Kazrak and his men, in a crevice obviously prepared to receive it.	10
14	66	The tarnsmen began to unlock the shackles, that I might be impaled freely on the lance, perhaps so that my struggles might provide a more interesting spectacle to the onlookers.	10
14	74	Two others removed the tharlarion lance from its crevice and brought it forward.	10
14	84	I turned just in time to knock the impaling lance aside as, carried by two men, it plunged toward my back.	10
14	86	I heard two screams of pain and found that I held the lance.	10
14	87	Some five or six tarnsmen ran toward the wide opening of the shallow cave, but I rushed forward, holding the lance parallel to my body, striking them with almost superhuman strength and forcing them over the ledge near the mouth of the cave.	10
14	89	One tarnsman leveled a crossbow, and in that instant I hurled the lance and he toppled backward, the shaft of the weapon protruding from his chest, the bolt from his crossbow ricocheting from the rock above my head with a flash of sparks.	10

4	1	The Outcome of Spear Gambling The Tuchuk warrior lifted the lance in triumph, in the same instant slipping his fist into the retention knot and kicking the roweled heels of his boots into the silken flanks of his mount, the animal springing towards me and the rider in the same movement, as if one wi...	10
4	34	Then the Tuchuk drove his own lance into the dirt and hung on the lance his glossy shield.	10
7	28	I gathered that once, in his earlier years, he might have been a rider of the kaiila, that he might have been skilled with the bow and lance, and the quiva; such a man would not need ceremony; I sensed that once this man might have ridden six hundred pasangs in a day, living on a mouthful of water a...	10
8	63	There was a thunder of kaiila paws on the worn turf and Conrad, with his red lance, nipped the tospit neatly from the tip of the wand, the lance point barely passing into it, he having drawn back at the last instant.	10
8	175	* * * * Now the Kassar, mounted on his kaiila, his lance under the tip of the girl's chin, who knelt before him, looking up at him, suddenly laughed and removed the lance.	10
8	579	The thrust must be made with exquisite lightness, the lance loose in the hand, the hand not in the retaining thong, but allowing the lance to slip back, then when clear, moving it to the left and, hopefully, past the living wand.	10
10	14	The standard of the Kassars is that of a scarlet, three-weighted bola, which hangs from a lance; the symbolic representation of a bola, three circles joined at the center by lines, is used to mark their bosk and slaves; both Tenchika and Dina wore that brand; Kamchak had not decided to rebrand them,...	10
10	450	The warrior of the Wagon Peoples does not use the short sword, probably because such a weapon could not be optimally used from the saddle of the kaiila; the saber, incidentally, which would be somewhat more effective from kaiilaback, is almost unknown on Gor; its role, I gather, is more than fulfill...	10
2	61	I saw the slender line of his light lance against the sky, strapped across his back.	10
2	67	His lance remained on his back, but he carried in his right hand the small, powerful horn bow of the Wagon Peoples and attached to his saddle was a lacquered, narrow, rectangular quiver containing as many as forty arrows.	10
2	69	It was said a youth of the Wagon Peoples was taught the bow, the quiva and the lance before their parents would consent to give him a name, for names are precious among the Wagon Peoples, as among Goreans in general, and they are not to be wasted on someone who is likely to die, one who cannot well ...	10
2	70	Until the youth has mastered the bow, the quiva and the lance he is simply known as the first, or the second, and so on, son of such and such a father.	10
2	130	His lance had a rider hook under the point, with which he might dismount opponents.	10
2	180	Now the man facing me lifted his small, lacquered shield and his slender, black lance.	10
2	181	"Hear my name," cried he, "I am Kamchak of the Tuchuks!" As suddenly as he had finished, as soon as the men had named themselves, as if a signal had been given, the four kaiila bounded forward, squealing with rage, each rider bent low on his mount, lance gripped in his right hand, straining to be th...	10
3	58	"Pray thou to Priest-Kings that the lance does not fall to me!" I did not understand this.	10
3	69	Then he said, "Though you are a dweller of cities—a vermin of the walls—I think you are not unworthy—and thus I pray the lance will fall to me".	10
3	112	"Spirit of the Sky," he cried, "let the lance fall to me—to me!" Then abruptly, furious, he wheeled the kaiila and joined the others, whence he turned to regard me.	10
3	113	As I watched, the Tuchuk took his long, slender lance and thrust it into the ground, point upward.	10
3	114	Then, slowly, the four riders began to walk their mounts about the lance, watching it, right hands free to seize it should it begin to fall.	10
3	117	I watched the lance tremble in the shaking earth, and saw the intentness of the riders as they watched its slightest movement.	10
3	122	The lance had not yet fallen.	10
3	134	"Ho!" I heard, and spun to see the black lance fall and scarcely had it moved but it was seized in the fist of the scarred Tuchuk warrior.	10
4	2	The slender, flexible wand of the lance tore at the seven-layered Gorean shield, striking a spark from the brass rim binding it, as the man had lunged at my head.	10
4	9	All the time the Tuchuk thrust at me with his lance.	10
4	32	Then he took his lance and smote it on the small, glossy shield, acknowledging my act.	10
6	11	A lance was fastened between them, fixed to the stirrups of their saddles.	10
6	12	The lance cleared the ground, given the height of the kaiila, by about five feet.	10
6	13	Between the two animals, stumbling desperately, her throat bound by leather thongs to the lance behind her neck, ran a girl, her wrists tied behind her back.	10
6	18	She would have fallen except for the lance that kept her in place.	10
6	33	She lifted her head and seeing the wild, fearsome scarred face that stared into hers, she suddenly screamed hysterically, and tried to jerk and tear herself away, but the lance held her in place.	10
6	94	She stood held in place by the lance, her throat bound to it with the wood behind her neck, her wrists thonged behind her back.	10
6	163	Dazed, exhausted, covered with sweat, dust on her face and legs, wine on her body, Elizabeth Cardwell, her wrists thonged behind her and her throat bound to a lance, stood captive before Kamchak of the Tuchuks.	10
8	54	* * * * On the back of the kaiila, the black lance in hand, bending down in the saddle, I raced past a wooden wand fixed in the earth, on the top of which was placed a dried tospit, a small, wrinkled, yellowish-white peachlike fruit, about the size of a plum, which grows on the tospit bush, patches ...	10
8	56	"Well done!" cried Kamchak as he saw the tospit, unsplit, impaled halfway down the shaft of the lance, stopped only by my fist and the retaining strap.	10
8	65	My own thrust had been a full thrust, accurate enough but rather heavily done; in war, such a thrust might have lost me the lance, leaving it in the body of an enemy.	10
8	67	Kamchak then rode, and he, like Conrad of the Kassars, deftly took the fruit from the wand; indeed, his lance entering the fruit perhaps a fraction of an inch less than had Conrad's.	10
8	70	There was a cry of disappointment, as the lance tip sheared the fruit, not retaining it, knocking it from the wand.	10
8	76	With the tip of his lance, stained with the tospit fruit, he cut the strap that held the cap on her head, and then brushed the cap off; then, delicately, with its tip, he lifted her chin that she might look at him.	10
8	213	Kamchak was a skilled instructor in these matters and, freely, hours at a time, until it grew too dark to see, supervised my practice with such fierce tools as the lance, the quiva and bola.	10
8	218	At forty feet I could strike a thrown tospit; at one hundred feet I could strike a layered boskhide disk, about four inches in width, fastened to a lance thrust in the turf.	10
8	283	He pointed his lance to Elizabeth Cardwell.	10
8	289	A black lance was fixed in the prairie about four hundred yards away.	10
8	291	It was not expected, of course, that any of the girls would reach the lance.	10
8	310	She would receive a start of fifteen beats of the great heart of the kaiila, after which she would be about half way to the lance.	10
8	355	Elizabeth Cardwell, barefoot, in the larl's pelt, streaked for the black lance in the distance.	10
8	360	She had run in actual competition more than two hundred times; almost always she managed to interfere with and postpone her return to the circle; and forty times, an incredible feat, she had managed to reach the lance itself.	10
8	411	"I wager," she said, "that I will reach the lance".	10
8	474	To my amazement, as I swung the bola in ever faster circles, never taking my eyes off her, she broke the straight running pattern only about fifty yards from the whip circle, and began to dodge, moving always, however, toward the lance.	10
8	477	As the judge counted aloud I observed the pattern, two left, then a long right to compensate, moving toward the lance; two left, then right; two left, then right.	10
8	484	I wondered how it could be that such a girl had never been taken in less than thirty-two beats, that she had reached the lance forty times.	10
8	486	Then I remembered the intelligence of her eyes, her confidence, that never had she been taken in less than thirty-two beats, that she had reached the lance forty times.	10
8	525	With a cheerful slap I sped her back to Albrecht, who, angry, with the tip of his lance, severed the bonds that had confined her.	10
8	537	"Lance and tospit," he said.	10
8	545	Albrecht pointed his lance at me.	10
8	547	"Lance and tospit".	10
8	554	Save for armed combat, lance and tospit with the living wand is the most dangerous of the sports of the Wagon Peoples.	10
8	556	It is essentially the same sport as lancing the tospit from the wand, save that the fruit is held in the mouth of a girl, who is slain should she move or in any way withdraw from the lance.	10
8	564	But she stood like a rock and when I thundered past her the tip of my lance had been thrust through the tospit.	10
8	566	With almost scornful ease he raced past her lifting the tospit from her mouth with the tip of his lance.	10
8	573	"Facing the lance!" "I will not ride," I said.	10
8	578	This is the most difficult of the lance sports.	10
8	585	When she had stood sideways I had favored the left, so that if the stroke was in error, the lance would miss the tospit altogether; but now, as she faced me, the stroke must be made for the center of the fruit; nothing else would do.	10
8	587	A cry went up from the crowd as I passed Elizabeth, the tospit on the point of the lance.	10
8	592	Albrecht the Kassar, angry, lowered his lance and set out for his girl.	10
8	593	In an instant he had passed her, the tospit riding the lance tip.	10
8	596	Then they were quiet, for the judge was rushing to the lance of Albrecht, demanding it.	10
8	601	The judge showed the point of the lance.	10
9	94	Indeed, to the annoyance of Elizabeth Cardwell, who had spent her nights under the wagon in the last weeks, there were two such in our own wagon, the girl Dina, whom I had snared in the contests of the bola, and her companion, the fine wench who had bitten the neck of Kamchak's kaiila and had attemp...	10
10	9	The standard bearer, holding aloft on a lance a representation of the four bosk horns, carved from wood, rode near us.	10
10	223	As soon as the hundreds of ponderous tharlarion had been marshaled into an order, a lance, carrying a fluttering pennon, dipped and there was a sudden signal on the tharlarion drums.	10
10	447	"Ah, yes, weapons," Kamchak was saying, "what shall it be—the kaiila lance, a whip and bladed bola—perhaps the quiva?" "The sword," said Kamras.	10
10	584	"An interesting weapon," he said, "but I prefer lance and quiva".	10
13	122	The kaiila and its master fight in battle as one unit, seemingly a single savage animal, armed with teeth and lance.	10
14	25	Kamchak threw me a lance, and a quiver with forty arrows and a bow.	10
14	30	There on a front pasangs in length, already the Thousands had nearly formed, and long lines of riders, few gaps in their ranks, waited, lance in hand, their eyes on the war lanterns.	10
15	7	Four times masses of tharlarion cavalry had charged forth from the city but each time the Hundreds withdrew before them until the charge had been enveloped in the swirling kaiila, and then its riders were brought down swiftly by the flashing arrows of the Tuchuks, riding in closely, almost to lance ...	10
21	257	In a moment I would be able to see the kaiila, the flash of light from the lance blades.	10
21	315	In an instant another five and then another and another had repeated this maneuver and soon, sometimes with squealing of kaiila and dismounting of riders as one beast or another would be crowded between the gates and the others, a Hundred and then another Hundred had hurtled howling into the city, b...	10
21	355	Another wall, on the other side of the avenue, tumbled downward, two Turian warriors leaping from it, being ridden down by Tuchuks, leaping over the burning debris on kaiilaback, lance in hand.	10
21	356	Then in the clearing inside the gate, on his kaiila, lance in his right fist, turning and barking orders, I saw Kamchak of the Tuchuks, waving men to the left and right, and to the roof tops.	10
21	357	His lance point was red.	10
21	361	He turned his kaiila to face the city and it reared and he lifted his shield on his left arm and his lance in his right fist.	10
22	46	The lance strikes the shield once for the commander of a Ten; twice for the commander of a Hundred; three times for the commander of a Thousand.	10
22	104	At one end of the room, on the throne of the Ubar, a purple robe thrown over his black leather, sat dour Kamchak of the Tuchuks, his shield and lance leaning against the throne, an unsheathed quiva on the right arm of the throne.	10
23	98	The latter would be driven before the warriors through the wagons, both slave girls and free women stripped and bound together in groups, providing shields against arrows and lance charges on kaiilaback for the men advancing behind them.	10
26	150	Another time he warned us back and called for a lance, with which he tripped a wire in the passage.	10
26	189	When he can ride teach him the saddle of the kaiila, the quiva, the bow and lance.	10

I moved to the side and, with both hands, a yard behind the point, turning, caught the lance; the rider, crying out, w...	10
5	346	As she knelt on her hands and knees in the gravel, looking up, terrified, a warrior, behind her, on kaiila, thrust the tip of his lance beneath her veil, between the side of her head and the tiny golden string, and, lifting the lance, ripped the veil from her, face-stripping her.	10
2	64	I knew the light lance, and the swift, silken kaiila.	10
2	370	One who rides the swift kaiila, who handles the scimitar and lance, chooses the burnoose.	10
4	441	I saw Farouk, merchant and caravan master, ride by, burnoose swirling behind him, lance in hand.	10
5	340	One Kavar warrior, with the point of his lance, drew a line in the graveled dust.	10
5	350	The steel, razor-sharp point of the lance was at her bosom.	10
5	379	The first one to be prodded with the side of a lance from the line was Alyena.	10
5	422	He lifted his lance.	10
5	453	With my lance tip I retrieved her veil from the dust, and put it to the side of her left knee.	10
7	425	When first I had seen her, her yellow nylon stockings in shreds, her brief, yellow, with narrow orange stripes, Oxford-cloth shift, dusty and stained, her neck bound to a capture lance, her wrists bound behind her, on the plains of the Wagon Peoples, a captive of Tuchuks, she had worn it.	10
8	37	Drovers and merchants were being herded, at lance point, to a side.	10
8	38	A guard, holding his right shoulder, hurried by a lance tip, was thrust with them.	10

11	5	Standing afoot, in the dust, with his lance, the nomad watched us turn away.	10
11	509	He fell back, thrust from the gate by a lance in the hands of one of Hassan's men.	10
13	117	It might have been in the design of a stylized lance, or flame or leaf.	10
14	592	"The right ear," said the next man, grasping the long, slim lance, eight feet Gorean in length, marked with red and yellow swirling stripes, terminating in an extremely narrow point, razored, steel, some eleven inches in length, and lanceolate, as the leaf of the flahdah tree.	10
14	595	Then he screamed as the lance struck him, turning him about.	10
16	39	The steersman, when not attending to his sweep, carried a lance.	10
16	50	The steersman dropped the point of the lance toward the water, watching, too.	10
16	101	The steersman stood ready with the lance.	10
16	109	"I do not know," said the steersman, with the lance.	10
16	120	These were lance marks.	10
16	239	On its bow, lance raised, I saw T'Zshal.	10
16	262	T'Zshal himself stood at the bow of the raft, the lance in one hand, in his other a lantern, lifted.	10
17	25	Beside him lay the long lance, some nine feet in length.	10
17	40	Beside him lay the lance; in his reddish sash was thrust the dagger of his office.	10
17	88	I glanced at T'Zshal, his heavy head, bearded, resting on his arm, the lance beside him.	10
17	125	He examined the long blade of the lance, running his finger along the edge of the blade.	10
17	127	From his sash he took a long, narrow lacing of rawhide, which he bound about the base of the lance blade, where it was riveted in the shaft, thus, for about six inches, reinforcing the shaft.	10
17	129	He then laid the lance over the tops of two of the large retaining vessels, the salt tubs, on the raft.	10
17	136	T'Zshal took the lance, holding the point down.	10

17	164	He held the bloodied lance in his hand, fluid thick, black under the lamps, on the blade.	10
17	228	T'Zshal thrust the long lance, almost head-on, toward the monster, and it cut, slicing, a long wound, a yard in length, along its side.	10
17	230	T'Zshal struck again with the lance, driving it into the tail of the monster as it twisted off the raft.	10
17	233	He held the lance ready.	10
17	242	He held the lance ready.	10
17	246	In the lamplight, on the raft, on the dark water, among us, waiting, he held the lance ready.	10
17	301	"Find the lance head," said I, "take the lacings from the blade.	10
17	311	The lance, shaft broken, was found floating near the raft.	10
17	321	Using the dagger as an awl, punching through the flesh, and the long lacing from the lance head, while Hassan held together the edges of the ripped furrows, I crudely sewed together the rent, bloodied meat before me.	10
18	41	I felt the point of his lance at my throat.	10
22	79	I noted the lance.	10
22	84	I judged the angle of the lance.	10
22	87	One often feints with the point, dropping it, or lifting it, or moving it to the one side or the other, dropping or lifting, or horizontally, in war; but in sport accuracy and not deception is paramount; I observed the rider; I saw him smile; I saw the kaiila rear up; I saw the lance fall into posit...	10

22	230	I poked the beast with the tip of my lance.	10
22	270	I thrust downward with the lance and was half pulled from the kayak, myself and the vessel lifted upward, as the sleen's impaled body reared up almost beneath the craft.	10
22	272	It fell back in the water and I, jerking free the lance, thrust it again into the wet, bloody pelt.	10
22	273	It attacked again, laterally in the water, fangs snapping, and I pressed it away with the lance.	10
22	276	It turned on Imnak and I thrust my lance deeply into its side, behind the right foreflipper, seeking, hunting, the great, dark heart.	10
22	278	I pulled the lance free to drive it in again.	10
22	286	"Consider the blood on your lance," he said.	10
23	88	The man was trying to thrust it away with a lance.	10
23	94	I was running down the hillock, slipping and sliding in the snow, my lance in my hand.	10
23	107	It seized the lance from the man and broke it in two.	10
23	109	The Kur flung the pieces of the broken lance to the side.	10
23	120	He sped past me, and I braced myself, my arm drawn back, lance ready.	10
23	123	"Come now, and taste my lance!" I cried.	10
23	127	I took another step toward the Kur, threatening it with the lance.	10
23	457	He roved in the darkness, silent, with his lance.	10
23	480	At his back there was a horn bow and a quiver of arrows; in his hand there was a lance and, held by cords, a heavy sack.	10
26	228	I stood within the low walls, lance in hand.	10
26	264	With the point of the lance I fended back the jaws of the wounded sleen.	10
26	269	Then Imnak and I stood within that small, low rampart, each armed with a lance.	10
26	272	I thrust one back from the wall with the lance.	10
26	281	I again seized up the lance which I had carried.	10

1	1016	The kaiila lance takes, on the whole, two forms, the hunting lance and the war lance.	10
1	1015	It is to be distinguished in particular from the longer, heavier tharlarion lance, designed for use from tharlarionback, and often used with a lance rest, and the smaller, thicker stabbing lances used by certain groups of pedestrian nomads.	10
1	1019	The point of the hunting lance is usually longer and narrower than that of the war lance, a function of the depth into which one must strike in order to find the heart of the kailiauk.	10
1	1032	The tarn lance, it might be mentioned, as is used by the red savages who have mastered the tarn, is, in size and shape, very similar to the kaiila lance.	10
15	190	The Fleer let the hair fall from the lance, and then he laid the side of the metal point of the lance on the edge of the girl's collar, the metal touching the right side of her neck.	10
15	212	With the side of his lance he had touched her left thigh, and then, with the point of the lance, he had raised the hem of her skimpy tunic to her waist.	10
16	288	"And for whom," I asked, "was the second lance?" "For the beast," said the fellow with the first lance.	10
18	54	"What is the significance of this lance," I asked, "with the cloth wound about it?" "It is a warrior's lance," said Grunt.	10
18	162	The lance near him, too, that about which was wound the white dress, was, according to Grunt, a lance from that tribe.	10
19	67	He then uprooted the lance and then, unsteady for a moment, shaken by these exertions, he clutched the lance, supporting himself with it.	10
1	616	My lance, in such matters, so to speak, was free.	10
1	804	To attack whites, intruding into their lands, once the war lance has been lifted, even long-term blood enemies will ride side by side.	10
1	1013	The kaiila lance is used in hunting kailiauk as well as in mounted warfare.	10
1	1014	It is called the kaiila lance because it is designed to be used from kaiilaback.	10
1	1027	The head, of metal, or of bone or stone, with sinew or rawhide, and also sometimes with metal trade rivets, is then mounted on the lance.	10
1	1029	The sinew and rawhide, before being bound on the lance, are soaked with hot water.	10
1	1034	These lances are used in a great variety of ways, but the most common method is to thrust one's wrist through the wrist loop, grasp the lance with the right hand, and anchor it beneath the right arm.	10
1	1036	With the weight of a hurtling kaiila behind the thrust such a lance can be thrust through the body of a kailiauk.	10
1	1037	To be sure, the skillful hunter will strike no more deeply than is necessary, and his trained kaiila will slow its pace sufficiently to permit the kailiauk to draw its own body from the lance.	10
1	1038	This permits the lance to be used again and again in the same hunt.	10
1	1040	"The first one," said Samos, "has his lance in the attack position".	10
1	1043	One of the other mounted hunters held his lance in his right hand, its butt resting on his thigh.	10
1	1044	From this position he could rapidly bring the lance to the attack position.	10
1	1046	A third mounted hunter held the lance across his body, it resting in the crook of his left arm.	10
1	1139	"The first of the mounted hunters is dead," said Kog, "he who had had the lance in the attack position.	10
1	1144	"The second mounted hunter, he who had held the lance ready, is thrown from the kaiila to the snow.	10
1	1145	The man must, thus, in the instant, change his aim to the third mounted rider, he who held the lance across his body.	10
1	1156	His lance is broken.	10
9	42	Grunt carried similar articles but he, as well, as I had not, carried such items as long nails, rivets, hatchets, metal arrowheads, metal lance points, knife blades and butcher knives.	10
9	45	The rivets are useful in fastening blades in handles and lance shafts.	10
15	44	He carried a long, feathered lance, and a small, round shield, a war shield, on which were inscribed medicine signs.	10
15	79	The fellow did not drop his lance into the attack position, grasping it firmly, anchoring it under his right arm.	10
15	119	The Fleer warrior stopped his kaiila by Priscilla, the second to the last girl on the coffle, and lifted up her chin with the iron point of his lance.	10
15	182	"Oh!" said the red-haired girl, first in the coffle, startled as the point of his lance had scraped the back of the black-iron collar on her neck.	10
15	184	He was lifting her sheen of red hair on the point of his lance, moving it in the sun, to see it glisten and reflect the light.	10
15	202	One by one, with the side of the lance, the Fleer, moving along the line, touched the girls.	10
15	213	Then, riding before her, he had, with the point of the lance, thrust aside the sides of her tunic.	10
15	218	He did not come so close to us that he could not, easily, drop his lance into the attack position.	10
15	221	He shifted his lance to his left hand, which pleased me.	10
15	244	The Fleer grinned, and shifted his lance again to his right hand.	10
15	262	"Did you see how they responded to the touch of his lance?" "Yes," I said.	10
16	283	"Fighting is against the Teaching," said the other fellow, he with the second lance.	10
16	287	"Thusly, in that instance, we would have tendered you a lance".	10
16	289	"We would not have wanted to anger it," said the fellow with the second lance.	10
16	290	"You would let others do your fighting for you," I asked, "and you would have abided the outcome?" "Yes," said the fellow with the first lance.	10
18	4	Near him, on a lance thrust butt down in the turf, there was wound a white cloth.	10
18	81	"See the lance, the dress," said Grunt.	10
18	94	"But the lance is not broken," I said.	10
18	96	"Of what tribe is the lance?" I asked.	10
18	228	I was prodded in the shoulder with the butt of a lance.	10
19	25	He touched her on the left arm with his long-bladed lance, the blade of tapering, bluish, chipped flint.	10
19	45	Then the lance blade of bluish, chipped flint was at the Yellow Knife's neck.	10
19	46	He stood up, quickly, angrily, brushing the lance away, his hand at the handle of his knife, in the beaded sheath at his hip.	10
19	47	The lance point, brushed away, returned to threaten him, as easily as a branch, shifted by the wind, might return to its original position.	10
19	49	At a kick backward the kaiila would bolt forward, driving the lance into the Yellow Knife.	10
19	52	One of the Yellow Knives near the fellow threatened with the lance said something to him.	10
19	53	The Yellow Knife at whose chest the lance point was poised then stepped angrily backward.	10
19	62	He now struggled to his feet and went to the lance, fixed butt down in the turf.	10
19	63	He held momentarily to the lance, his head down, keeping his balance.	10
19	64	He then unwound the dress from the lance shaft and pulled it on, over his head.	10
19	84	"The sign for the All Comrades," I said, "is the heart and lance".	10
19	90	"Cheerfulness is indicated by the height of the heart, alongside the lance," said Grunt.	10
19	146	But the young man, clearly, the lance grasped in his hand, high on the lofty kaiila, in his breechclout and paint, was not moved.	10
19	194	He looked very splendid in his paint and feathers, with the lance, astride the kaiila.	10
19	199	The young man then lowered his lance, until the long point of narrow, tapering, bluish flint was but inches from her bared breasts.	10
19	200	He gestured at her with the lance.	10
19	270	The lance of the young warrior interposed itself between us.	10
19	278	He then slowly brought his kaiila about and walked it, slowly, to where the red youth, Cuwignaka, Woman's Dress, whom I had freed from the stakes, clung, supporting himself, to the Kaiila lance.	10
19	281	The lad seemed weak, clinging to the lance.	10
19	297	Woman's Dress looked up at them, still holding to the lance, that he not fall.	10
19	433	"You hold to a lance of the Kaiila," said Canka.	10
19	436	It was you yourself who took the woman's dress which Hci had thrown beside me and wrapped it about the shaft of the lance".	10
19	441	And even had there been none to see it, at least none of our common world, that marker, the unbroken lance, the cloth wrapped about it, might have seemed to have served some purpose to he who had placed it there, perhaps standing for some measure of recollection and respect.	10
19	443	"Surrender the lance," said Canka.	10
19	608	He picked up the lance, using it as a staff to maintain his balance.	10
19	674	He stood, unsteadily, clinging to the lance, as though to a staff.	10
19	679	He took two or three faltering steps, supporting himself with the lance.	10
19	681	For a moment he held himself up with the lance, but then, heavily, fell to the side.	10
19	682	Painfully, with the lance, hand over hand, he pulled himself again to his feet.	10
19	683	He took another two or three faltering steps, supporting himself with the lance, after Canka and the others, but then, again, fell heavily in the grass.	10
19	691	He sat there, cross-legged, angrily, the lance beside him.	10
19	759	I then handed him the lance from the grass.	10
19	765	No feathers were attached to the lance.	10
19	808	I then, leading the kaiila, on which Cuwignaka rode, slumped forward, with the lance, set my feet in the tracks of those who had preceded me, Canka and his party, and Grunt and Pimples, toward the smoke of the evening fires, toward the camp of the Isbu Kaiila.	10

7	630	"I have met them, lance to lance, club to club, knife to knife".	10
24	13	Cuwignaka struck the lance away to his right with his own lance.	10
24	51	Then he swung the lance down and against the side of the kaiila and Cuwignaka lost his balance and the lance, rolling under the paws of the beast.	10
25	2	A rider was approaching, the feathers on his lance streaming behind it, the lance upright.	10
28	300	I saw a woman, running, caught in the back with a lance, between the shoulder blades, flung to the dust, the lance then withdrawn.	10
54	4	He carried a feathered lance, with a long iron point, a trade point, socketed, fastened to the lance shaft with two rivets.	10
1	89	One must be that close for the lance thrust to be made or for the arrow, from the small bow, to strike with sufficient depth, to the feathers, either into the intestinal cavity behind the last rib, resulting in large-scale internal hemorrhaging, or behind the left shoulder blade, into the heart.	10
1	120	More to them than meat for the stomach and clothes for the back is the kailiauk to them; too, it is mystery and meaning for them; it is heavy with medicine; it is a danger; it is a sport; it is a challenge; and, at dawn, with a lance or bow in one's hand, and a swift, eager kaiila between one's knee...	10
1	126	Too, he did not carry lance and shield.	10
1	144	Once, in a fight with Fleer, he had leaped to the ground and thrust his lance through the long, trailing end of the society's war sash, which, on that occasion, he had been wearing.	10
1	251	A lance, unbroken, had been placed by him, butt down, in the earth, in token of respect, at least, by Canka, Fire-Steel, his brother.	10
1	252	Canka had also taken the dress which Hci had thrown contemptuously beside him, taken from the loot of one of the wagons, and wrapped it about the lance.	10
3	37	The first five men who strike the tree, with their hand, or with a canhpi, a lance or coup stick, obtain high coups".	10
12	382	Astride their kaiila, lance in hand, they were the rulers of the prairies, the Ubars of the plains.	10
21	7	The rider, clad only in a breechclout, his body bright in purple and yellow paint, thrust towards us with the long tarn lance.	10
21	21	Another tarnsman, low on the back of the mount, it swooping towards us, only a few feet from the ground, lowered his lance.	10
21	23	I saw the feathered lance, like a long blur, sweep over us.	10
21	60	"There is a lance in my lodge," said Cuwignaka.	10
21	62	This was the same lance which had been fixed, butt down, in the turf beside Cuwignaka near the scene of battle several weeks ago.	10
21	64	About the lance, wrapped about it, had been a white dress.	10
22	1	Cuwignaka Requests Instruction "Use the lance!" I cried.	10
22	2	We had turned, startled, not more than a few yards from our lodge, from the interior of which Cuwignaka had recovered the lance.	10
22	3	The rider on the kaiila, bent low, his lance in the attack position, charged, dust scattering back from the pounding paws of the kaiila.	10
22	4	Cuwignaka ducked to the side, lifting and raising his arms, the long lance clutched in his fists.	10
22	6	The point of the other's lance passed between Cuwignaka's arms and his neck.	10
22	7	The man was taken from the back of the kaiila by Cuwignaka's lance.	10
22	10	"Free your lance," I said.	10
22	11	Cuwignaka, his foot on the man's chest, drew loose the lance.	10
22	12	"It is safer in such an exchange," I said, "to strike from the outside, fending his lance away, trying to make your strike above and across it".	10
22	14	"If he had dropped his lance more to the right you would have moved into it," I said.	10
22	91	He clutched the lance in his hands.	10
22	147	Even as she spoke a white slave girl, naked, her hands bound behind her, running before a kaiila, stumbling, prodded by the butt of a lance, was herded into that crowded place between the lodges.	10
22	150	The girl's captor dismounted and put his lance down.	10
22	166	The man retrieved his lance and then, swiftly, remounted his kaiila.	10
22	246	"I cannot make you couch a lance," I said.	10
23	16	The Yellow Knife with them whirled about but only to meet Cuwignaka's lance.	10
23	18	Cuwignaka jerked his lance free.	10
23	22	He struck her alongside the head with the shaft of his lance.	10
23	51	The side of her face bore a long welt from where she had been struck with the lance shaft.	10
23	89	He put the point of his lance under her chin and lifted her head.	10
23	92	The point of his lance dipped, aligned then with the beauty of her soft, bared breasts.	10
23	104	Then he withdrew the lance point from her chin.	10
24	3	The other Yellow Knife dropped his lance into the attack position, cried out in rage and kicked his heels back into the flanks of the kaiila.	10
24	5	"Stay to the outside of his lance!" I cried.	10
24	7	He must fend the stroke with his own lance.	10
24	14	The passage was so swift he could not bring his own lance over that of his foe.	10
24	19	His opponent cried out in fury, unable to clear the neck of his kaiila with the lance.	10
24	23	The rider brought the lance over the beast's neck, inside of the shield on his left arm.	10
24	25	This is commonly regarded as more than an adequate compensation for the somewhat reduced fanlike ambit of play, that between the shield and the neck of the kaiila, then open to the lance.	10
24	31	I heard the two shafts crack together, Cuwignaka fending the driving point away, and then, to my dismay, I heard a swift, striking sound, and saw Cuwignaka struck from the side of the kaiila, and reeling and staggering backwards, then sprawling, his legs loose under him, to the dust, struck by the p...	10
24	32	With a trained kaiila, the animal aligning itself in such a way as to optimize the play of the rider's lance, there is little defense against this sort of thing.	10
24	40	Cuwignaka hurled himself headlong under the paws of the kaiila and the lance thrust down, driving into the dust.	10
24	41	The kaiila almost atop Cuwignaka then turned again and, again, the lance thrust down.	10
24	44	Cuwignaka clung to the lance.	10
24	47	The rider was bent down, struggling to retain control of the lance.	10
24	50	The rider jerked at the lance and it tore against the palms of Cuwignaka's hands, blood at the wood.	10
24	52	The Yellow Knife, with a whoop of triumph, brandishing the lance, sped his kaiila forward, to turn it for another passage.	10
25	6	I had taken, too, his lance and shield.	10
25	7	Cuwignaka had recovered his own lance and had added to his armament, too, the shield of the Yellow Knife he had slain.	10
25	151	"What of these?" asked Cuwignaka, gesturing with his lance to the three white slaves who had been in the charge of the Yellow Knives.	10
26	6	The same momentum, in its force, blood leaping from his side, carried the Yellow Knife from the point of the lance.	10
26	10	I buffeted aside the attack of a Yellow-Knife lance, it furrowing the hide of the shield I bore.	10
26	26	I struck down to my right with the butt of my lance.	10
26	30	Suddenly my lance was pinned between my mount and that of another warrior, one of the Kaiila.	10
26	43	My lance dug into the chest of a Yellow Knife afoot.	10
26	44	I jerked loose the lance.	10
26	51	I saw a young Kaiila warrior, his lance transferred to his left hand, reach down to seize her by the hair, to appropriate her for himself.	10
26	54	Bearing down on him, lance leveled, was a painted Yellow Knife.	10
26	55	I brought my kaiila about and, desperately, thrust the lance into the charging Yellow Knife, to my right.	10
26	57	His gut struck my hand and the lance, in his scream and the twisting of the kaiila, was lost.	10
26	58	Behind him, as I had feared, came his flankers, those working with him, to protect him in his charge, those who would give him time to free his lance.	10
26	60	I met the lance of the man on my left with the shield, turning its stroke.	10
26	62	I turned, taking his lance thrust, too, on the shield.	10
26	63	As he thrust at me again I struck off the end of the lance.	10
26	74	That sabers are not used more widely on Gor is, I think, a function of the tendency of many mounted warriors to rely too exclusively, in my opinion, on their skills with the lance.	10
26	78	It was also a Yellow-Knife lance.	10
26	90	I laid the point of the lance in her mouth, well in her mouth, depressing her tongue.	10
26	94	She regarded him in terror, her eyes wide, unable to move, her mouth about the lance.	10
26	103	She whimpered piteously, her eyes wide, unable to speak, the lance point depressing her tongue.	10
26	112	She looked at me, wildly, piteously, gratefully, her tongue still unable to move, because of the lance point.	10
26	123	I removed the point of the lance from her mouth.	10
27	33	Then, shield and lance in hand, I mounted.	10
27	64	We kept a distance of a lance length between riders.	10
27	85	The tarn with the useless wing snapped with its great back at its foes and then was killed with lance thrusts.	10
28	213	Mahpiyasapa, before our lines, lifted and lowered his lance.	10
28	222	As soon as Mahpiyasapa had lowered his lance we placed about our bodies yellow scarves and other strips of yellow cloth.	10
28	224	Again Mahpiyasapa raised and lowered his lance, and then he pointed it toward the enemy.	10
28	228	I lifted my bloody lance in salute to Cuwignaka.	10
28	314	This is a moment within which the target may find itself within the lance range of the next rider.	10
28	318	The archer, struck by the rider, was carried a dozen feet on the lance, before the blade, twisting, with the weight of the kaiila behind it, was dragged loose.	10
29	29	I thrust with my lance upward, through the netting, driving it through the body of a soldier, cutting at it.	10
29	41	Then he fended himself from a lance attack.	10
29	60	He yanked free a lance from the body of a fallen Yellow Knife.	10
29	62	I saw Mahpiyasapa fell a Yellow Knife with his lance.	10
29	68	To my left I saw a child run through with a soldier's lance.	10
29	70	I struck aside a lance and urged my kaiila toward where Grunt had been tending the wounded.	10
30	2	"Kaiila! Friends!" I cried, lance uplifted.	10
30	100	It carried a huge shield and lance, the accouterments of a man.	10
30	111	I lowered my lance.	10
30	119	He had discarded his lance.	10
30	135	I saw a Yellow Knife wheel his kaiila about and drop his lance into the attack position.	10
30	141	The man, the point of his lance moving slightly, studied Hci.	10
30	144	It was almost as though Hci did not see the man, almost as though he was looking through him, almost as though the very real man, and the physical point of the lance, of sharp bronze, were little more than tokens or emblems of something he feared far more.	10
30	152	The Yellow Knife aligned his lance.	10
30	155	The Yellow Knife's lance took him low in the left side, hurling him from the kaiila, and then the Yellow Knife, with a whoop of victory, whirled away.	10
30	159	His lance was black in the dusk.	10
32	108	"There are lance dancers," said Cuwignaka.	10
32	158	"The lance dancers are approaching," I observed.	10
32	162	The lance dancers, then, were swirling about the fallen red slave, weaving and spinning, in spiraling, swiftly moving circles about her.	10
32	163	Some of them merely laid the cold metal points of the lances, or the sides of the lance blades, on her flesh.	10
32	175	The lance dancers, in their serpentine pattern, swirled away.	10
35	86	The shield of Hci rose like a moon, inexorably, exposing him to the lance of the Yellow Knife.	10
37	548	He interposed himself, and a lance, between me and the predator.	10
37	549	The beak snapped the lance off short.	10
37	555	Cuwignaka struck it on the beak with the shaft of the lance, distracting it.	10
39	429	Hci thrust the feather down, like a lance, in the dirt.	10
40	130	"He is also learning the bow and the lance," I said to Pumpkin.	10
40	389	He carried a feathered lance.	10
40	392	Apparently this lance, at least, had been saved.	10
40	395	The point of the lance was bloody.	10
40	401	"Where is the other lance?" Pumpkin asked Carrot.	10
40	420	Then she looked to the bloody point of the feathered lance.	10
40	500	Seibar handed the lance he held to Carrot, who placed it against the wall.	10
41	74	Of its own will it rose, exposing me to the lance of my enemy".	10
