Similarly, it is not always wise to avail oneself of ladders of rope surreptitiously lowered from walls. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 44, Sentence #62)

A supposed defender casts messages down from the wall at night, offering treason for sale, willing to arrange the opening of a gate, if a dangling basket will be filled with gold. The gold is provided and the gate, as anticipated, is opened but, as was not made clear in the arrangement, is swiftly closed, as well, trapping intruders within. Those who buy treason may not understand the treason they have purchased, treason to the defenders or treason to the attackers. Similarly, it is not always wise to avail oneself of ladders of rope surreptitiously lowered from walls. Such conveniences may not be the gift of traitors. A parapet flooring at that point may be contrived to collapse, dropping visitors to the rubble below where townsfolk are waiting with their clubs and axes. Too, the enemy soon became wary of 'seeming weaknesses' as too often, in such locations, defenders proved to be the most numerous and best prepared. - (Avengers of Gor)
