Chapter # Sentence # Quote
3 26 One obvious danger lay in the road itself, and the fact that I had no light.
3 27 After dark, various serpents seek out the road for its warmth, its stones retaining the sun's heat longer than the surrounding countryside.
3 28 One such serpent was the huge, many-banded Gorean python, the hith.
3 29 One to be feared even more perhaps was the tiny ost, a venomous, brilliantly orange reptile little more than a foot in length, whose bite spelled an excruciating death within seconds.
3 30 Accordingly, in spite of my eagerness to return to Ko-ro-ba, I decided that I would withdraw from the road, wrap myself in my cloak and spend the night in the shelter of some rocks, or perhaps crawl into the tangle of some thorn bushes, where one might sleep in relative security.
3 31 Now that I was considering discontinuing my journey, I suddenly became acutely aware that I was both hungry and thirsty.
3 32 No rations or water flask had been in the leather package found with the weapons.
