|---|---|---|
| 25 | 101 | The caste of assassins was quite different. |
| 25 | 102 | They were not dupes, fools, madmen, too stupid to understand how they had been manipulated by others, young men drunk with the wine of death, who think they will somehow thrive in the cities of dust. |
| 25 | 103 | Against such mindless puppets, such naive fools, such lunatics, manipulated by those who send them forth, sitting safe in their mountain fastness, safe in their lair of prevarication and deceit, it is difficult to defend oneself. |
| 25 | 104 | But the Gorean Assassin, he of the black Caste, is not a naive, twisted, deluded, managed beast serving the purposes of others, but a professional killer. |
| 25 | 105 | He wishes to kill and vanish, to live, to kill again. |
| 25 | 106 | Otherwise he is no more than a clumsy oaf, a failure, having accomplished no more than might have a desperate, simple, misguided fool. |
| 25 | 107 | If he himself dies, he has botched his work, he has failed, he has shamed his caste. |

But the Gorean Assassin, he of the black Caste, is not a naive, twisted, deluded, managed beast serving the purposes of others, but a professional killer.
He wishes to kill and vanish, to live, to kill again.
Otherwise he is no more than a clumsy oaf, a failure, having accomplished no more than might have a desperate, simple, misguided fool.
