| 2 | 25 | Normally the gorean shield is painted boldly and has infixed in it some device for identifying the bearer's city. |
| 2 | 26 | If this shield were intended for me, and I had little doubt it was, it should have carried the sign of Ko-ro-ba, my city. |
| 2 | 27 | The spear was a typical gorean spear, about seven feet in height, heavy, stout, with a tapering bronze head some eighteen inches in length. |
| 2 | 28 | It is a terrible weapon and, abetted by the somewhat lighter gravity of gor, when cast with considerable force, can pierce a shield at close quarters or bury its head a foot deep in solid wood. |
| 2 | 29 | With this weapon groups of men hunt even the larl in its native haunts in the Voltai Range, that incredible pantherlike carnivore which may stand six to eight feet high at the shoulder. |
| 2 | 30 | Indeed, the gorean spear is such that many warriors scorn lesser missile weapons, such as the longbow or crossbow, both of which are not uncommonly found on gor. |
| 2 | 31 | I regretted, however, that no bow was among the weapons at my disposal, as I had, in my previous sojourn on gor, developed a skill with such weapons, and admittedly a fondness for them, a liking which had scandalized my former master-at-arms. |
