Pani would seldom destroy valuable objects, and most such objects, then, would be available to the intruders once the holding was taken. - (Rebels of Gor, Chapter 7, Sentence #102)

I now well understood the reference to goods which had been exchanged for food, presumably limited supplies of such, which I had heard on the dais. For some reason, at the time, it had not occurred to me that the goods were slaves. Now that I thought about it, that inference would have been almost inevitable. Pani would seldom destroy valuable objects, and most such objects, then, would be available to the intruders once the holding was taken. On the other hand, under conditions of scarcity, amounting to the brink of starvation, slaves, certainly objects of value, might, as might others, say, the men of the garrison, perish and be lost. If one wished to preserve them, then it would seem plausible to turn them over to the enemy and hope to recapture them later. It would be the same with, say, kaiila. - (Rebels of Gor)
