Book 1. (5 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
12 92 Had we done so, I might have seen the war horde of Pa-Kur on its way to Ar, with its marching columns, its lines of tharlarion riders, its foraging cavalries of tarnsmen, its supply wagons and pack animals.

15 9 Beyond the walls were Pa-Kur's lines of investment, set forth with all the skill of Gor's most experienced siege engineers.

Book 3. (12 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
9 120 I knew that Gorean caste lines, though largely following birth, were not inflexible, and that a man who did not care for his caste might be allowed to change caste, if approved by the High Council of his city, an approval usually contingent on his qualifications for the work of another caste and the...

13 13 Gorean, I might note, is somewhat similar, and though I speak Gorean fluently, I find it very difficult to write, largely because of the even-numbered lines which, from my point of view, must be written backwards.

21 43 Then, as we crouched in the darkness of the far side of the chamber, the doors opposite us swung open and we observed two long lines of strange men, marching abreast, each of whom carried a Mul-Torch in one hand and in the other by a handle what resembled a deflated wineskin of golden leather.
Details
10
27 109 I was already familiar with the astounding patience of Priest-Kings and so I was not surprised at the almost total lack of movement in the lines of that golden pattern, formed of Priest-Kings, which radiated out from the Platform of the Mother.

29 40 In less than a few Ihn I had brought the ship into the large Nest complex where the ten ships of Sarm still followed their grim, precise, destructive pattern, as placidly and methodically as one might paint lines on a surface or mow a lawn.
Details
10
30 166 From what I could gather, only a handful of humans, some men, some women, had actually crossed the lines and taken service with Sarm.
Details
10
30 190 But not long after this took place other Priest-Kings, startled by the decision of Kusk, began to speak of ending the War, and some others too began to cross the lines.

10
33 13 In the front, several deep, in lines that extended as far as I could see in both directions, were the white robes of the Initiates.

10
10 7 We moved slowly, walking the kaiila, in four long lines, the Tuchuks, the Kassars, the Kataii, the Paravaci, some two hundred or so warriors of each.
Details
10
10 12 I could see, surprisingly near the forefront of their respective lines, the other three men I had first seen on coming to the Wagon Peoples, Conrad of the Kassars, Hakimba of the Kataii and Tolnus of the Paravaci.
Details
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,...

10 186 The stakes, flat-topped, each about six and half feet high and about seven or eight inches in diameter, stand in two long lines facing one another in pairs.
Details
10
10 187 The two lines are separated by about fifty feet and each stake in a line is separated from the stake on its left and right by about ten yards.
Details
10
10 188 The two lines of stakes extended for more than four pasangs across the prairie.
Details
10
10 189 One of these lines is closest to the city and the other to the prairies beyond.
Details
10
10 193 I was forced to remind myself that between these two lines of stakes men would soon fight and die.
Details
10
10 197 In the space between the two lines of stakes, for each pair of facing stakes, there was a circle of roughly eight yards in diameter.
Details
10
10 215 On long lines of tharlarion I could see warriors of Turia approaching in procession the Plains of a Thousand Stakes.
Details
10
10 224 Immediately the lances of the lines lowered and the hundreds of tharlarion, hissing and grunting, their riders shouting, the drums beating, began to bound rapidly towards us.
Details
10
10 230 I wheeled the kaiila, looking for Elizabeth Cardwell, who, afoot, would be slain almost before the tharlarion had crossed the lines of the stakes.
Details
10
10 234 I straightened up and saw that the lines of the tharlarion lancers had, with much pounding and trampling of the earth, with shouting, with the hissing of the great beasts, stopped short, abruptly, some fifteen yards or so behind their line of stakes.
Details
10
10 247 In a moment, to a thunder of kaiila paws on the turf, racing between the lines of stakes, scattering sand, there came a great number of riders, their black hair swirling behind them, who pulled up on their mounts, rearing and squealing, between the stakes, and leaped from the saddle to the sand, rel...

10
10 258 "Hah!" said Kamchak, seeing now the lines of tharlarion part for a space of perhaps forty yards, through which could be seen the screened palanquins of Turian damsels, some on the shoulders of chained slaves, among them undoubtedly men of the Wagon Peoples.
Details
10
10 303 I looked up and down the lines of stakes.
Details
10
10 330 From down the long lines, from other judges, came the confirming cry.
Details
10
10 332 "Let the women be secured," called the first judge, who stood on a platform near the beginning of the stake lines, this year on the side of the Wagon Peoples.
Details
10
10 345 "They are secured," was relayed up and down the long lines.
Details
10
10 349 All along the lines of stakes I saw Turian warriors and those of the Wagon Peoples press into the area between the stakes.
Details
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.
Details
10
15 51 In the morning the wagons, in their long lines, would follow the slowly moving herds away from Turia.
Details
10
23 79 It was the vengeance of the bosk and the frightened, maddened animals thundered into the Paravaci lines goring and trampling both kaiila and riders, and the Paravaci who could manage turned their animals and rode for their lives.
Details
10
23 109 Bloody, covered with sweat, gasping, we saw the living Paravaci draw back, falling back between the newly forming lines on the gradient above.
Details
10
23 133 Then again we heard the bosk horns and the Paravaci, in vast ranks, like sweeping crescents, like steel scythes of men and animals and arms, far extending beyond our own lines, began to move slowly towards us, gaining steadily in momentum and speed with each traversed yard of stained prairie.

13 292 Above us, on the upper deck, I could hear the cries of the seamen, casting off mooring lines, shoving away from the dock with the traditional three long poles.

14 4 I mention, however, in passing, that a great variety of ram-ships ply Thassa, many of which, in their dimensions, their lines, their rigging and their rowing arrangements, differ from her considerably.
Details
10
14 234 "She carries one hundred and thirty-two oars," he said, "but she is a heavier ship, and her lines are not as good as those of the Dorna".
Details
10
14 250 I had little doubt that the Dorna, a somewhat lighter ship, with better lines and shorter keel, would be more responsive to her helm than the other ship and that, sooner or later, as the circles grew smaller, she would be able to wheel and take her foe in the stern quarter or amidships.

10
14 478 Others, with axes, stood ready to chop away the lines that now bound the Dorna to the flagship.

17 2 It was a very beautiful sight, the great lines of ships in the distance, extending to the ends of the horizons, the sails like yellow and purple flags, in their thousands, in the sun of the ninth Gorean hour, an Ahn before noon.

10
17 32 The attacking fleet, in order to provide its net to prevent escape from Port Kar, had overextended its lines.
Details
10
17 40 With their lines cut in fifty places, for no extended handful of tarn ships, part of a great line, could resist a close-set formation of sixteen tarn ships, I hoped that many of the ships would turn to face the attackers, now in their rear.
Details
10
17 45 By that time the ships of Cos and Tyros would have concentrated in their numbers and shortened their lines.
Details
10
17 57 It was my hope that by the time they arrived at the engagement the fleet of Cos and Tyros, responding to my first two waves, would have shortened their lines and concentrated their ships.
Details
10
17 85 The flanking attack, of course, was mounted as late as it was because, until the fleet of Cos and Tyros had shortened their lines and concentrated their ships, to meet our earlier moves, it would have been impractical.
Details
10
17 139 The ships of my first wave had now struck the lines of the fleet of Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
17 141 Behind them, scattered across the cold waters of Thassa, I could see the pairs of the second wave proceeding, swiftly gliding, oars dipping, toward the long lines of yellow and purple sails in the distance, yellow for Tyros, purple for Cos.

15 421 Men of Tyros, and panther girls, flanked the lines of slaves.

18 468 This is not simply because of their general small size, with consequent maneuverability, and speed, a function of oarsmen, weight and lines, but also because of this aforementioned capacity to rapidly reverse direction.

10
23 113 They had held the front lines of the Aretai left flank for two hundred years.
Details
10
23 117 There is a tendency, after the lines are engaged for each force to drift to its right.
Details
10
23 118 In a Gorean engagement on foot, incidentally, assuming uniform lines, this drift is almost inevitable, because each man, in fighting, tends to shelter himself partially, as he can, behind the shield of the man on his right.
Details
10
23 119 This causes the infantry lines to drift.
Details
10
23 126 One might abandon uniform lines, etc.

23 129 These considerations, of course, presuppose that some semblance of lines is maintained.
