Sleen

Book 2. (22 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
3 20 It is at night that the sleen hunts, that six-legged, long-bodied mammalian carnivore, almost as much a snake as an animal.
Details
10
4 1 The Sleen In the darkness I stumbled on toward the walls of Ko-ro-ba, striking the stones of the road with the butt of my spear, to keep on the road and to drive possible serpents from my path.
Details
10
4 32 Most likely it was a sleen, hopefully a young one.
Details
10
4 38 It was indeed a young sleen, not more than eight feet long, and it lacked the patience of an older animal.
Details
10
4 57 Now that I had not seen the lights of Ko-ro-ba, as I would have expected, it struck me more forcibly that I had not even seen the lights of peasant cooking fires glowing in the hills surrounding the city, or the torches of rash sportsmen who hunt the sleen by night.
Details
10
4 76 I had hardly moved another step when, in a flash of lightning, I saw the sleen, this time a fully grown animal, some nineteen or twenty feet long, charging toward me, swiftly, noiselessly, its ears straight against its pointed head, its fur dark, slick with rain, its fangs bared, its wide nocturnal ...
Details
10
4 81 Another flash of lightning and I saw the sleen on its belly chewing on the shaft of the spear, its wide nocturnal eyes unfocused and glazed.
Details
10
4 82 My arm was bloody, but the blood was mostly that of the sleen.
Details
10
4 86 In the next flash of lightning I saw the sleen was dead.
Details
10
4 90 Then, as sleen hunters do, for luck, and because I was hungry, I took my sword and cut through the fur of the animal and ate the heart.
Details
10
4 91 It is said that only the heart of the mountain larl brings more luck than that of the vicious and cunning sleen.
Details
10
4 94 "Did you, Oh Dark Brother of the Night, think to keep me from Ko-ro-ba?" How absurd it seemed to me that a mere sleen should have stood between me and my city.
Details
10
4 97 Was the sleen not familiar with that saying? I shook my head, to clear it of the wild thoughts.
Details
10
4 105 The darkness returned, and in the next flash of lightning I examined the blood again, but it was only blood, the blood of a sleen I had killed on the road to Ko-ro-ba.
Details
10
4 108 I stood up, and wiped the spear as well as I could on the fur of the sleen.

8 18 Whereas there is status in the capture of a free woman, there is less risk in the capture of a slave; the pursuit is never pressed as determinedly in their cases, and one does not have to imperil one's life for a girl who might, once the Robes of Concealment have been cast off, turn out to have the ...

13 151 "Sleen," cried he, "you have spoiled the Amusements of Tharna!" Two warriors hastily unbolted the horns from the yoke and dragged me to the golden wall.
Details
10
14 80 The Tatrix decreed it is only to be used in the Amusements, to feed on sleen like you".
Details
10
21 58 "And she is as hard to manage as a sleen".
Details
10
22 47 "Now that you know," she asked, "what will you do with me? Will it be the oil of tharlarions? Will you throw me to leech plants? Will you stake me out for your tarn, use me to bait a sleen trap?" I laughed, and she looked at me, bewildered.

26 25 Other Silver Masks had taken refuge in the mountains beyond the walls and these were hunted like sleen by converging rings of irate peasants, who drove them into the center of their hunting circles, whence, unmasked and bound, they were herded to the city to meet their fate.
Details
10
26 126 I have found it at the tables of sword companions and in the clash of the metals of war, in the touch of a girl's lips and hair, in the blood of a sleen, in the sands and chains of Tharna, in the scent of talenders and the hiss of the whip.

17 170 "Remember that as you are to the bosk and the sleen so are we to you".
Details
10
25 107 There was, I could see, a pair of sleen in one case, and two larls in another pair of cases, with a sliding partition between them.
Details
10
26 3 No, I would take no chances with this girl, whom I knew to be as treacherous and vicious as the nocturnal, sinuous, predatory sleen.

11 404 "Sleen! Sleen! Sleen!" I followed Kamchak down the steps of the wagon and, blinking and still sensible of the effects of the paga, gravely held open the large dung sack near the rear left wheel of the wagon.

1 19 Even past me there thundered a lumbering herd of startled, short-trunked kailiauk, a stocky, awkward ruminant of the plains, tawny, wild, heavy, their haunches marked in red and brown bars, their wide heads bristling with a trident of horns; they had not stood and formed their circle, shes and young...

5 17 As we passed among the wagons I leaped back as a tawny prairie sleen hurled itself against the bars of a sleen cage, reaching out for me with its six-clawed paw.
Details
10
10 328 "Sleen! Sleen!" Kamchak roared with laughter and turned the kaiila away.

10
10 371 "You sleen! You filthy sleen! Come back! Come back!" I heard her pulling at the rings and kicking at the post.

26 261 "I will shatter the golden sphere!" Slowly Kamchak, and Harold and I, and the sleen keeper, dragging the two sleen, moved backwards.

1 54 It has a wide head and tiny red eyes, a temper to match that of a sleen, and two long, wicked horns that reach out from its head and suddenly curve forward to terminate in fearful points.

10
2 43 If I were found on the plains near the camps or the bosk herds I knew I would be scented out and slain by the domesticated, nocturnal herd sleen, used as shepherds and sentinels by the Wagon Peoples, released from their cages with the falling of darkness.
Details
10
2 44 These animals, trained prairie sleen, move rapidly and silently, attacking upon no other provocation than trespass on what they have decided is their territory.
Details
10
2 107 The head of the kaiila bears two large eyes, one on each side, but these eyes are triply lidded, probably an adaptation to the environment which occasionally is wracked by severe storms of wind and dust; the adaptation, actually a transparent third lid, permits the animal to move as it wishes under ...

5 8 I heard a haruspex singing between the wagons; for a piece of meat he would read the wind and the grass; for a cup of wine the stars and the flight of birds; for a fat-bellied dinner the liver of a sleen or slave.

5 16 The Tuchuk, incidentally, like others of the Wagon Peoples, prays only when mounted, only when in the saddle and with weapons at hand; he prays to the sky not as a slave to a master, nor a servant to a god, but as a warrior to a Ubar; the women of the Wagon Peoples, it might be mentioned, are not pe...

10
5 18 There were four other prairie sleen in the cage, a small cage, and they were curling and moving about one another, restlessly, like angry snakes.
Details
10
5 20 They are also used if a slave escapes, for the sleen is an efficient, tireless, savage, almost infallible hunter, capable of pursuing a scent, days old, for hundreds of pasangs until, perhaps a month later, it finds its victim and tears it to pieces.

7 19 Kutaituchik lifted his head and regarded us; his eyes seemed sleepy; he was bald, save for a black knot of hair that emerged from the back of his shaven skull; he was a broad-backed man, with small legs; his eyes bore the epicanthic fold; his skin was a tinged, yellowish brown; though he was strippe...

8 116 I had been troubled that the shock of her radical transposition between worlds, coupled with her reduction to servitude, might disarrange her mind, might shatter her and make her worthless to the Tuchuks, who might then have simply cast her to the kaiila and herd sleen.

8 159 Kamchak made her walk back and forth once or twice, and spoke to her rather sharply about her posture, then, to the surprise of both Miss Cardwell and myself, he did not chain her, but told her she might walk about the camp unattended, warning her only to return before dusk and the release of the he...

10
8 431 "Tuchuk sleen!" she cried, eyes flashing.

10
9 147 There had been a magician, who particularly pleased Kamchak, and a man who, whip in hand, guided a dancing sleen through its paces.
Details
10
9 237 "Two years ago," said Kamchak, "in such a place at such a time—you recall it was then you called me a Tuchuk sleen".
Details
10
9 242 "It was then," he said, "that you turned away, calling me a Tuchuk sleen".
Details
10
9 267 "How comes it," asked she, "that a Koroban rides in the stinking wagon of a Tuchuk sleen?" "The wagon does not stink," I said, "and Kamchak of the Tuchuks is my friend".
Details
10
9 273 I was puzzled at this, for throughout much of the evening there had been entertainment, the jugglers, the acrobats, the fellow who swallowed fire to music, the magician, the man with the dancing sleen.
Details
10
9 371 It had been at that time that she had called him a Tuchuk sleen, presumably because he had dared present her with a gift.
Details
10
9 401 "Bold Tuchuk sleen!" he hissed.
Details
10
9 429 There were cries on all sides, "Slay the Tuchuk sleen!" "Torture for him!" "The oil of tharlarions!" "Leech plants!" "Impalement!" "Tongs and fire!" But Kamchak seemed unmoved.
Details
10
9 478 "Unless you permit it," said Kamras sternly, "I may never have an opportunity to cross steel with this barbaric sleen".
Details
10
9 483 There was a cry of delight from the crowd, confident now that the Tuchuk sleen would be fittingly punished for his bold use of the richest daughter of Turia.
Details
10
10 118 Now, again, Elizabeth, visibly shaken, ill, realized that she might, should it please Kamchak's whims, be sold or exchanged with the same ease as a saddle or a hunting sleen.
Details
10
10 318 "Are you prepared to die, Sleen?" she inquired.
Details
10
10 327 "Sleen!" she cried.
Details
10
10 336 "I shall stand quietly here until the sleen is slain".
Details
10
10 357 "Can you not remember, Sleen," asked the girl, "the face of Aphris of Turia?" "My memory is vague," said Kamchak.
Details
10
10 364 "You sleen!" "What do you think?" asked Kamchak.
Details
10
10 373 "The sleen!" she cried.
Details
10
10 381 "I do not know if I will fight for any of them," he said, "they are all she-sleen, she-kaiila".
Details
10
11 43 "Sleen," she wept.
Details
10
11 55 "Surely you are aware," said Saphrar, "that a slave cannot own property—any more than a kaiila, a tharlarion or sleen".
Details
10
11 68 "Sleen!" she screamed at him.
Details
10
11 69 "You stinking sleen!" "Be careful," warned Saphrar, "how you speak to the richest man in Turia!" Aphris wept and pulled at the retaining rings.
Details
10
11 90 "Do you recall," asked Kamchak, "one night two years ago when you spurned my gift and called me sleen?" The girl nodded, her eyes frightened.
Details
10
11 293 "Beware of the herd sleen," said Kamchak.
Details
10
11 321 "Sleen!" cried the girl.
Details
10
11 340 "Sleen!" she wept.
Details
10
11 403 "Sleen!" she cried.
Details
10
12 8 The trailing would undoubtedly be done by trained herd sleen.
Details
10
12 316 "Get up, Little She-Sleen," said Kamchak, amused, "or to preserve my honor I must have you impaled".
Details
10
13 4 "Do not release the hunting sleen," I pleaded with Kamchak.
Details
10
13 6 With misgivings I observed the two, six-legged, sinuous, tawny hunting sleen on their chain leashes.
Details
10
13 10 "I know," I said, "—the herd sleen".
Details
10
13 13 He hoisted himself to the saddle of his kaiila, a prancing and trembling hunting sleen on each side of the animal, the chains running to the pommel of the saddle.
Details
10
13 16 Before I could remonstrate with the angry Tuchuk the hunting sleen suddenly seemed to go wild, rearing on their hind legs, scratching in the air, dragging against the chains.
Details
10
13 25 The sleen were trying to get at her and she had backed away against the wagon, watching them warily.
Details
10
13 44 "If I had known that," said Kamchak, "I would have had the sleen out last night".
Details
10
13 88 "No!" But Kamchak was pulling her by the bracelets toward an empty sleen cage mounted on a low cart near the wagon, into which, still braceleted, he thrust her, then closing the door, locking it.
Details
10
13 130 "I can't keep her in a sleen cage forever," Kamchak said.
Details
10
13 142 Among the animals I saw many verr; some domestic tarsks, their tusks sheathed; cages of flapping vulos, some sleen, some kaiila, even some bosk; by the Paravaci haruspexes I saw manacled male slaves, if such were to be permitted; commonly, I understood from Kamchak, the Tuchuks, Kassars and Kataii r...
Details
10
14 17 Kamchak took her roughly by the arm and shoved her stumbling toward the sleen cage where, holding the bars, frightened, knelt Elizabeth Cardwell.
Details
10
14 33 With these he hurriedly conferred and then I saw him lift his arm and red war lanterns were moved on ropes to the top of poles, and, to my amazement, aisles seemed to open in the densely packed bosk before the men, herdsmen and herd sleen moving the animals back to clear long grassy passages between...
Details
10
15 53 I had heard, from a master of hunting sleen, that the Omens were developing predictably, several to one against the choice of a Ubar San.
Details
10
15 63 When he returned that night from the wagon of Kutaituchik to his own wagon he strode angrily to the sleen cage where he had confined Aphris with Elizabeth during the putative attack.
Details
10
15 71 Roughly Kamchak took her by the arm and thrust her into the sleen cage beside the miserable Elizabeth Cardwell.
Details
10
15 80 "They will not run away—let them wait like she-sleen in their cage—not knowing on which day the iron will come".
Details
10
15 87 "Leave me!" Kamchak, once a day, at night, the hour in which sleen are fed, would throw the girls bits of bosk meat and fill a pan of water kept in the cage.
Details
10
15 91 When the wagons were to move, Tuka was to walk beside the cart of the sleen cage, drawn by a single bosk, and with a bosk stick guide the animal.
Details
10
16 172 "Tuchuk sleen!" "May I introduce," inquired Saphrar, "Ha-Keel of Port Kar, chief of the mercenary tarnsmen".
Details
10
17 32 This reasoning also led me to suppose that it would not be likely to be anything like a water sleen or a giant urt from the canals of Port Kar.
Details
10
19 141 "Sleen!" she hissed.
Details
10
21 199 "You know we have hunting sleen in Turia?" "Yes," I said, "I know".
Details
10
23 204 There was no sign of either Aphris or Elizabeth, either about the wagon, or in the overturned, broken sleen cage in which, when I had last seen them, Kamchak had confined them.
Details
10
24 30 Certain cities, burned by the Wagon Peoples more than a hundred years ago, were still said to be desolate ruins between their broken walls, silent save for the wind and the occasional footfall of a prowling sleen hunting for urts.
Details
10
24 144 "From the sleen cage?" I asked.
Details
10
24 145 "She was not in the sleen cage the morning of our return from Turia with the tarns," said Harold.
Details
10
25 114 A girl who does what you did might be maimed or thrown to sleen or kaiila, and that he touched you with the whip, the Slaver's Caress, that was only to show me, and perhaps you, that you were female".
Details
10
26 97 On Kamchak's right there walked a master of sleen, who held two of the vicious, sinuous beasts in check by chain leashes.
Details
10
26 124 "Sleen!" cried Saphrar, and turned and ran deeper within the house.
Details
10
26 126 In the main hall he looked about and then, Harold and I following, and the man with the two sleen, and the slaves with gold, and his archers and other men, he began to walk his kaiila forward, across the broad marble tiles, following the terrified Saphrar of Turia.
Details
10
26 134 He dismounted and picked up a lounging garment from the vast sleeping platform in the room, holding it to the noses of the two sleen.
Details
10
26 136 The two sleen seemed to drink in the scent of the robe and then they began to tremble, and the claws on their wide, soft feet emerged and retracted, and their heads lifted and began to sway from side to side.
Details
10
26 142 Kamchak now gave his kaiila to a subordinate and, on foot, carrying torch and quiva, began to prowl down the passage, beside him the two snarling sleen, behind him Harold and I, and the rest of his men, several with torches, even the slaves with gold.
Details
10
26 143 Guided by the sleen we had no difficulty in following the track of Saphrar through the passage, though often it branched variously.
Details
10
26 149 Kamchak did not seem disturbed at the wait, but sat like a rock, cross-legged before the opening, looking across it, until planks were brought, and then he, and the sleen, were the first to cross.
Details
10
26 175 "Save your gold, Tuchuk sleen," said the young man.
Details
10
26 186 "Never, Tuchuk sleen, never!" Kamchak turned to certain of the warriors with him.
Details
10
26 200 The two sleen were snarling and pulling at their collars.
Details
10
26 256 He then waved them, and the others, with the exception of Harold and myself, and the sleen keeper and his animals, back several yards.
Details
10
26 302 Near me Kamchak said, quietly, "Release the sleen.
Details
10
26 304 I heard the chains loosened and the two sleen bounded from the room, eyes blazing.
Details
10
26 309 The sleen keeper stood nearby, the chain leashes loose in his hands.
Details
10
26 332 Suddenly, far off, we heard a weird scream, high, wavering, and the shrill howls of frustrated sleen.
Details
10
26 339 Then, saying no more, Kamchak, the rest of us following, left the room, guiding ourselves by the distant, frustrated howls of disappointed sleen.
Details
10
26 341 At its marbled edge, hissing and quivering with rage, throwing their heads now and again upward and howling in frustrated fury were the two tawny hunting sleen, their maddened round eyes blazing on the pathetic figure of Saphrar of Turia, blubbering and whimpering, sobbing, reaching out, his fingers...
Details
10
28 8 I recalled how cruel she had been to Elizabeth in the long months she had been with the Tuchuks, and how she had tormented her even when she was helpless in the cage of a sleen, mocking her and poking at her with the bosk stick.
Details
10
28 18 Following this, she untied the thong from the root and permitted the girl, thong still streaming from her nose ring, wrists still bound behind her, to run for her master's wagon, but pursued her each foot of the way like a hunting sleen, administering innumerable stinging incitements to greater and ...

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
8 258 We, and the wagons, passed between wooden sleds, with leather runners, on which there were squared blocks of granite, from the quarries east of Laura; and between barrels and hogsheads of fish and salt; and between bales of sleen fur and panther hides, from the forests beyond.
Details
10
8 259 I put out my hand and touched some of the sleen fur as I passed it.
Details
10
8 951 Far off, I heard the scream of a hunting sleen.
Details
10
8 990 "You silken little sleen," he said.
Details
10
8 996 "She-sleen," he smiled.
Details
10
8 1171 It would not be used to give my scent to domesticated sleen, trained to hunt slaves.
Details
10
9 8 Each girl wore, too, at her waist, a sheathed sleen knife.
Details
10
9 105 Verna removed her sleen knife from her belt.
Details
10
9 129 The girl, clad like the others in the skins of forest panthers, who had held my leash, and now again held it, she who had bound me, her sleen knife again in its sheath, thrust her face toward mine.
Details
10
9 136 She wiped the dirt and tumbled leaves from her sleen knife, which I had thrown from me, on the skins of her brief garments, and then replaced it in her sheath.
Details
10
9 158 "Sleen," said Verna.
Details
10
9 294 On its front, near the top, carved, cut into the bark with the point of a sleen knife, was a crude representation of opened slave bracelets.
Details
10
9 393 "Sleen," she whispered.
Details
10
9 400 There are, of course, many sleen in the forests.
Details
10
9 402 "Is it still there?" asked one of the girls, the one who had been able to detect the sleen earlier.
Details
10
10 412 "It is a sleen outside," said the man.
Details
10
10 414 "When I was brought here," I said, "twice the band caught the scent of a sleen".
Details
10
10 417 "Perhaps there were different sleen," I whispered.
Details
10
10 422 "Sometimes the sleen will follow a quarry for pasangs, before making its strike, lurking, approaching, withdrawing, then at last, when satisfied, attacking from the darkness".
Details
10
10 426 "It is the sleen," he said.
Details
10
10 436 "The sleen was probably following the band," he said.
Details
10
10 442 Sleen are sometimes curious, and not infrequently resentful of the intrusion of strange animals into what they choose to regard as their territory".
Details
10
10 462 I could no longer hear the sleen now.
Details
10
10 619 The head of a sleen, eyes blazing, its long needlelike teeth snapping, thrust through the small, broken window, the shutters splintered to the side.
Details
10
10 624 The large, wide, triangular head of the sleen, its nocturnal eyes blinking against the sudden light of the fire, thrust further into the room, followed by its shoulders, then its right, clawed paw.
Details
10
10 626 The man, as though brought to his senses by the maddened cry of the beast, picked up the slave whip and ran to the window, striking the sleen, trying to drive it back through the window.
Details
10
10 627 But, as I watched in horror, I realized the sleen could not retreat.
Details
10
10 631 Then the man picked up a piece of wood, kindling, from near the fire, and struck the sleen.
Details
10
10 634 The sleen has six legs.
Details
10
10 637 Wildly the man bent down to the fire and picked up a piece of wood from the fire, burning, and thrust it toward the sleen.
Details
10
10 647 The sleen, hissing, one eye blazing, the other seared by the torch, maddened with pain, began to wiggle and squirm through the aperture.
Details
10
10 652 Then, with a cry of rage, it leapt toward the sleen.
Details
10
10 654 The sleen came through the window, scrambling through, biting and tearing.
Details
10
10 657 Then, with a horrifying snap of bone and tearing of flesh and fur the jaws of the beast bit through the back of the sleen's neck.
Details
10
10 658 It stood there then, holding the body of the sleen in its claws, its mouth dripping fur and blood.
Details
10
10 659 The body of the sleen twisted compulsively.
Details
10
10 665 Then the beast threw back its head and uttered a wild, horrifying scream, and fell to feeding on the sleen's carcass.
Details
10
10 667 "Do not feed! Do not feed!" The beast raised its head, half buried in the sleen's body, meat hanging from its jaws.
Details
10
11 401 "She-sleen," he said.
Details
10
11 411 "She-sleen," he said.
Details
10
11 775 Indeed, it would have been probable that I, naked and bound, alone, defenseless in the forest, would have died of exposure or fallen prey to panthers or sleen.
Details
10
11 776 My thoughts strayed back to that terrible night, when I fled from the hut, into the darkness, leaving the beast feeding on the carcass of the destroyed, bloodied sleen.
Details
10
11 790 Once I nearly stumbled on a sleen, bending over a slain tabuk, a slender, graceful, single-horned antelopelike creature of the thickets and forests.
Details
10
11 791 The sleen lifted its long, triangular jaws and hissed.
Details
10
11 794 The sleen returned to its kill.
Details
10
11 820 The rain would wipe out my trail! I might escape the beast! I doubted that even a sleen, Gor's most perfect hunter, could follow my trail after such a downpour.
Details
10
11 916 "Sleen, panthers, women," said the guard.
Details
10
11 974 "We must join the wagons!" "White-silk she-sleen," he said.
Details
10
12 111 He was dressed in skins, mostly those of sleen and forest panthers.
Details
10
12 115 In certain of the cages, of heavy, peeled branches lashed together, there snarled and hissed forest sleen, in others there raged the dreadful, tawny, barred panthers of the northern forests.
Details
10
12 116 From the poles there hung the skins and heads of many beasts, mostly panthers and sleen.
Details
10
12 130 If it should please my master, I could, of course, be mated, as easily as a bosk or a domestic sleen.
Details
10
12 159 To be sure, he could have had her fed to sleen, but he had not.
Details
10
12 165 Would one not do as much for another animal, a pet sleen, or such? But she had tried, unsuccessfully, to be sure, to bend him to her will.
Details
10
12 249 More carts of sleen and panthers, with huntsmen and slaves, were passing.
Details
10
12 260 Only from this pole, supported by the crossed diagonal poles, there hung no snared birds, no gutted tarsks, no drying skins of panthers or sleen.
Details
10
12 457 Lana and I, and some of the other girls, ran to look at the cages of sleen and panthers, and the trophies.
Details
10
12 474 We looked, too, at the sleen and the panthers, and the skins, and the great, captive hith.
Details
10
13 336 "If we had hunting sleen," said the other, "and could find her trail, we would have her in our bracelets before dusk".
Details
10
13 887 "Sleen!" cried my captor.
Details
10
15 303 And in the belt of the garment there was thrust a sleen knife.
Details
10
15 318 In her belt she carried a sleen knife.

19 277 "I will tear out your eyes! I will cut your throat! She-sleen! She-sleen!" Sarus struck Hura, with the back of his hand, suddenly, knocking her head to one side, splattering blood across her teeth.
Details
10
1 166 Would she refuse the gold, the gems, the silks and silvers, and spilling coins, the choice wines, the servants and slaves, the security of the house of Bosk for the lonely freedoms and silences of the salt marshes of the Vosk's vast delta? Did she expect me to hasten after her, piteously begging her...
Details
10
2 187 "The price for a good sleen pelt is now a silver tarsk," said Arn.
Details
10
2 265 "Sleen!" cried Arn.
Details
10
2 266 "Sleen!" The girls cried out with fury.
Details
10
2 364 They have little respect for anyone, or anything, saving themselves and, undeniably, the beasts they hunt, the tawny forest panthers, the swift, sinuous sleen.
Details
10
2 511 She had now thrust her sleen knife into its belt sheath.
Details
10
2 741 Again the trees are blazed, but now, at the foot of the trunk, by the mark of a sleen knife.
Details
10
3 35 My business was to go to Laura, and there bargain for a hold of sleen fur, which might be taken south for much profit.
Details
10
3 36 Some eight to ten bales of sleen fur, highly prized, is a plausible cargo for a light galley.
Details
10
3 73 We passed, too, through goods which had been brought downriver from Laura, and would pass through Lydius, bales of sleen fur, and bundles of panther hides and tabuk pelts.
Details
10
3 74 There would be better prices on sleen fur, of course, in Laura itself.
Details
10
3 106 It is not unusual to encounter a fellow with a jacket of sleen fur, falling to his knees, sewn in the circle stitch of Scagnar, who wears upon his forehead a silken headband of Ar.
Details
10
4 437 "The she-sleen!" laughed the proprietor.
Details
10
5 101 Where was there for her to run? In the forests there were sleen and panthers, and fierce tarsks.
Details
10
6 117 "We shall make a base camp, in accord with our putative interest in obtaining the skins of sleen," I said.
Details
10
6 199 "It is not impossible," said Thurnock, "they are concerned with common trade, panther hides and sleen fur, and such".
Details
10
6 245 "Then," I said, "I expect you will fall in with sleen, or forest panthers".
Details
10
6 250 "But the sleen," she said, "the panthers!" "Kneel, and wait," I said.
Details
10
6 335 We might be simply, as far as those in Laura knew, attempting to achieve better prices on sleen fur by establishing this camp.
Details
10
6 375 Within the Ahn, hungry, nocturnal sleen would slip from their burrows to hunt.
Details
10
6 585 In my absence some hunters and outlaws had brought sleen fur to trade.
Details
10
6 590 "The little she-sleen!" I observed Tina, carrying a pitcher of water to two of the men working at the side of the Tesephone.
Details
10
6 602 But we suspected that that was not the reason the little she-sleen wore the belt as she did.
Details
10
6 912 The shrill scream of a sleen, perhaps a pasang distant, carried to the camp.
Details
10
6 921 You braceleted me, and sent me into the woods, when sleen and panthers were hunting.
Details
10
7 7 I was not likely to encounter sleen until darkness.
Details
10
7 8 Panthers, too, hunted largely at night, but, unlike the sleen, were not invariably nocturnal.
Details
10
7 20 We had purportedly entered the forest to hunt sleen.
Details
10
7 195 When she saw me, she clutched, with her right hand, at the sleen knife in her belt.
Details
10
7 198 I knocked the sleen knife from her hand and rudely jerked her hands together before her body, securing them there with slave bracelets.
Details
10
7 304 The sleen is a burrowing animal.
Details
10
8 54 We would use sleen nets, casting them over more than one girl at a time, tying them together, making it impossible for them to utilize their weapons.
Details
10
8 67 We unrolled the sleen nets and loosened the knives in our sheaths.
Details
10
8 76 By twos, sleen nets slung between us, we moved to the huts.

8 78 He gave a high whistle, shrill and sudden, and we, and the others, thrust through the portals of the hut, casting the sleen nets to encompass whatever might lie within.
Details
10
8 108 "Do not yet roll the sleen nets," I smiled.
Details
10
8 156 With his sleen knife he had pried the cork up a bit from the bottle.
Details
10
8 286 The Gorean slave trap is not held by a simple, heavy spring as would be the trap for a panther or sleen.
Details
10
9 16 At her belt was a sleen knife.
Details
10
9 88 She drew the sleen knife from her belt sheath.
Details
10
9 92 I felt the blade of the sleen knife at my throat.
Details
10
9 102 I again felt the edge of the sleen knife on my throat.
Details
10
9 132 Verna, idly, began to play at the side of my throat with the sleen knife.
Details
10
9 259 She fingered the hilt of the sleen knife.
Details
10
9 348 Perhaps she might kneel, or lie, like a pet sleen, at his feet.
Details
10
9 367 She wore at her belt a sleen knife.

10 3 He bent down, and with a sleen knife, slashed the binding fiber that fastened me between the stakes.
Details
10
10 117 At her belt was her sleen knife.
Details
10
10 262 He then bent down and, with his sleen knife, slashed the binding fiber that still fastened her left ankle to the stake.
Details
10
11 6 He had, too, taken two sleen alive, and four panthers, and these were in stout cages of wood, lashed together with leather.
Details
10
11 349 "And," I said, "in Laura there are trained sleen".
Details
10
11 352 The sleen is Gor's most perfect hunter.
Details
10
11 353 "Even," said Marlenus, "if we did not have the blanket the smell of the shelter in which she slept last night should be sufficient for the sleen".
Details
10
11 369 I thought of the fierce sleen, with their fangs and blazing eyes, long-bodied, six-legged, like a furred lizard.
Details
10
11 375 She will fear only that sleen, if we used them, might pick up her scent from the shelter in which she slept".
Details
10
11 451 "She-sleen!" wept Verna.
Details
10
11 494 With his sleen knife he freed the girl's arms and hands.
Details
10
11 532 He removed his sleen knife from its sheath.
Details
10
11 575 The huntsman resheathed his sleen knife.
Details
10
12 188 At my belt was a sleen knife; at my hip, in a verr-skin quiver, temwood sheaf arrows, nineteen of them, piled with steel, winged with the feathers of the vosk gull.
Details
10
13 281 "The sleen," I said, "has sharp fangs".
Details
10
13 317 I slipped the sleen knife from its belt sheath.
Details
10
13 369 I carried sword, sleen knife, and bow with quiver.
Details
10
13 371 They might remain behind, naked and bound, tethered, as prey to sleen or panthers, did they wish.
Details
10
14 31 Already some of them had been mauled by sleen and other predators.
Details
10
14 49 As I left I heard a sleen scratching among the bodies beyond the palisade.
Details
10
14 193 If panthers came upon them in the night, or sleen, their cries would not serve to alert my enemies.
Details
10
14 209 "I am saving you for tomorrow, when, in the performance of my will, you will face dangers greater than those of sleen and panthers".
Details
10
14 298 On some I could hear the movement of the necklaces of sleen teeth tied about their necks, the shivering and ringing of slender golden bangles on their tanned ankles.
Details
10
15 348 It would provide some protection from cold night rains, and some protection, though less, against panthers and sleen.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 146 "We are staking you out for sleen," said Vinca.
Details
10
16 151 I handed my sleen knife to Vinca.
Details
10
16 172 "Let the slave," said Vinca, "be now staked out for sleen".
Details
10
16 176 "Leave her for the sleen," said Vinca.
Details
10
16 187 Soon, prowling about in the brush, some yards away, was a sleen, drawn by the smell of the fresh blood, her own, smeared on Mira's slave body.
Details
10
16 188 The sleen is a cautious animal.
Details
10
16 193 Movement will sometimes provoke the animal's charge, if within a certain critical distance, which, for the sleen, is about four times the length of its body.
Details
10
16 194 The sleen scratched about in the grass.
Details
10
16 204 It would have been the scream of a bound slave, naked, staked out for sleen.
Details
10
16 208 First the sleen began to lick the blood from her body.
Details
10
16 212 It struck the sleen on the side of the snout.
Details
10
16 218 After much snarling and growling the sleen turned to the side, its snout still stinging, and seized up the tabuk and disappeared in the brush.
Details
10
16 248 In her eyes there was still the fear of the sleen.
Details
10
18 186 This shelter would protect them from arrows, should they come, from the forest, and, by means of the fires, should discourage the too-close approach of either panthers or sleen, which animals, in any case, seldom leave the forest, seldom prowl on the beach.
Details
10
18 556 "But there were sleen, panthers, in the forest.
Details
10
18 566 "Better the bracelets of a master than the teeth of a sleen?" asked one of the men of Tyros.
Details
10
18 590 "It would be too bad," said the leader, "if beauty such as yours were torn to pieces by sleen".
Details
10
18 598 If any of us are dissatisfied, you will be left here for the sleen".
Details
10
19 66 I carried only my sword, in its sheath, and a short sleen knife, balanced.
Details
10
19 274 "She-sleen!" she screamed.
Details
10
19 275 "She-sleen!" "He made me do it!" she cried.
Details
10
19 276 "I had no choice!" "She-sleen!" screamed Hura.
Details
10
20 143 I heard, from one side, the laughter of Verna, and saw her briefly, a sleen knife in her hand.
Details
10
20 204 "Sleen!" cried Hura.
Details
10
21 53 He had failed his Ubar, Chenbar of Tyros, called the Sea Sleen.
