Given our numbers, we could not begin to expose the entire column to a simultaneous attack. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 32, Sentence #49)

Carts should have been brought for their shields; the paga ration last night had been meager and of poor quality; the porridge this morning had been no better than slave gruel; yesterday's column had spent a comfortable night in the village, carousing and sleeping, not in blankets between rowing benches; the best loot had already been seized and hidden, and so on.
