Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
19	163	Was the presentation rather, then, in the nature of an assertion, a token, or even a defiance, or insult? Nodachi was clearly Pani, and yet seemed other than the Pani.	10
12	325	On a small platform, in a white kimono, one of Tajima's people, which I will now refer to as the Pani, as that is their word for themselves, knelt.	10
12	348	The Pani are an extremely emotional, passionate race, as I would learn, and the calmness of their exterior demeanor, their frequently seeming impassibility, even seeming apathy, was less of a disposition than an achievement.	10
13	24	I had ascertained those he had sold, either to the loggers, or craftsmen, or suppliers, or trainers, and such, or to the Pani themselves, and she whom I sought was not amongst those.	10
13	50	The rent money given to Torgus for his girls then, as with others, was furnished by the Pani, rather as they might have underwritten other forms of expense, clothing, bedding, housing, tools, weapons, food, ka-la-na, paga, kal-da, and such.	10
14	3	Several of the Pani sat about, cross-legged, at the interior wall of the open-walled, wooden-floored structure.	10
14	6	Eight of the Pani then rose from their places and four of them, unarmed, faced the other four, similarly unarmed.	10
14	8	Another of the Pani, an umpire or referee, or, better, I suppose, an adjudicator, began to observe and supervise the practice.	10
14	11	One-on-one combat can be stylized amongst the Pani, and may proceed rather formally, for all its sudden swiftness and violence, alternating with an almost unnatural stillness, reminiscent of a larl or panther, intent, immobile, subtly quivering, before its attack.	10
14	31	The Pani seemed to feel in such a case that something was out of balance, however slightly, and an adjustment was in order.	10
14	106	That these men of the Pani, such as Lord Nishida and Tajima, and their fellows, so unusual to continental Gor, or even the western islands, should be here, whether in Brundisium to the south, or here in the northern forests, was to me, at the time, inexplicable.	10
14	108	To be sure, here in Tarncamp I had counted no more than some two hundred to two hundred and fifty of the Pani.	10
14	109	In Tarncamp and, I suspected, elsewhere, say at the end of the mysterious road to the southeast, there were far more Goreans, of a familiar sort, than Pani.	10
14	110	I had gathered from Pertinax that hundreds had beached in the north, following, say, the rising in Ar, and, clearly, there were not that many in Tarncamp itself, though, as mentioned, there were several in Tarncamp, and they would, if counted, have considerably outnumbered the Pani in the area.	10
14	152	"No," said Tajima, "but they are not of the Pani".	10
14	154	"Because as soon as they are collared, they are no longer of the Pani, but only slave beasts".	10
14	157	"War is frequent amongst the Pani".	10
15	218	"You are fortunate I am not of the Pani," I said.	10
15	221	To refuse such a gift might injure one's pride, and it is not wise to injure the pride of one of the Pani, as they are a well-intentioned, sincere folk, and take such things very seriously".	10
16	70	I had gathered from several executions, outside my own command, that the Pani tended not to be tolerant of failure.	10
16	72	Certainly the recruitments of the Pani here and there, the several landings on the northern beaches, the numbers of men involved, the securing and importing of supplies, would be difficult to conceal.	10
16	168	A figure, in white, below, on the platform, was being supported by two of the infantrymen, or Ashigaru, as the Pani spoke of them.	10
16	176	Some twenty percent were Pani, and their discipline was as iron and they steadied the mercenaries about them.	10
16	202	One of the Pani, a wound dresser, crouched over the fallen figure.	10
17	45	On the ground, of course, the tarnsman was a common infantryman, and I had no doubt their incursion, despite their superiority in numbers, would be fiercely met by the Ashigaru of the Pani and several of our mercenaries.	10
17	46	The Pani, I was sure, would be loyal to their lord, their daimyo, Lord Nishida, for that seemed to be their way, and a cornered mercenary, one with no hope of a higher fee or escape, much like the cornered seventy-pound canal urt of Port Kar, is a most desperate and dangerous foe.	10
18	44	"There are no prisoners?" I asked a fellow, one of the Pani.	10
18	82	We had not been on the track for more than a handful of Ihn, however, moving rapidly but circumspectly, lest crossbowmen be about, when we heard shouts before us, and we saw some dozen or so of the Pani Ashigaru, with their glaives, approaching.	10
18	93	I saw some Pani about.	10
18	132	How imperiously she had reveled in that modicum of power accorded to her by the occupational forces of Tyros and Cos! To one side a group of Pani were considering a hut.	10
18	134	In the midst of the Pani before the hut was a figure who wore a large, masklike helmet, whose features could not be discerned.	10
18	135	Most of the Pani helmets, on the other hand, were open, though winged, that is, were rimmed to the sides and back, with something like a descending metal brim.	10
18	182	I now saw one of the Pani emerging from the hut, carrying a head.	10
18	188	Indeed, certain beauties of the Pani, I would learn, blackened their teeth to enhance their charms.	10
18	201	I am not even of the Pani.	10
18	205	I am not of the Pani, I reminded myself.	10
18	212	From the mask, the stature, the carriage, the nature of his garments, the tone of the skin, I took him to be Pani.	10
18	225	The Pani made no effort to save the pavilion.	10
18	236	One would not wish them to be seized as hostages, though I did not think the Pani would be excessively concerned with them, as they might be replaced, I supposed, with others.	10
18	319	Too, the Pani have long memories.	10
18	323	"She is Pani," said Tajima.	10
18	324	"Doubtless some women of the Pani are in collars," I said.	10
18	333	Several of the Pani with the masked figure had now ranged themselves on either side of the door of the hut.	10
18	354	The Pani, it seemed, might take prisoners but seldom did so.	10
18	357	The Pani regarded this as barbarous, but looked lightly on crucifixion.	10
18	359	Perhaps one reason the Pani are not prone to making prisoners is that it is thought that the prisoner might be expected, if honorable, to end his own life, to erase his shame at having fallen into the hands of the enemy, and thus, if this is so, he might as well be spared this indignity by being gra...	10
18	410	"Yes," I said, "but I suspect that it is also a way not unknown to the Pani".	10
18	471	Her coloring and such would be, I gathered, unusual amongst the Pani, and her slave fires, as I had determined, had already been nicely ignited.	10
19	5	He spoke directly to Pani.	10
19	12	There were grooms about, and one of the Pani, a subaltern, set them to recover, as they could, frightened, confused tharlarion.	10
19	66	I knew the voice was Pani, but I could not place it.	10
19	70	I then saw before me one of the Pani, but one such as I had not seen before.	10
19	73	Although of the Pani his visage was bearded, thinly, roughly, uncut, save perhaps by the sword, and his hair was long, and unkempt.	10
19	79	I was startled to look upon him, for he seemed so different from the other Pani.	10
19	103	I sensed the awe in which this man was held, an awe to which I, not even of the Pani, was acutely sensitive.	10
19	237	"I am Pani," said Tajima, in English, "but not every custom of my people appeals to me".	10
20	61	She was not of the Pani, nor a contract woman.	10
20	65	To be sure, Sumomo was of the Pani, and had the status of a contract woman.	10
22	142	"We are not of the Pani.	10
22	418	Pani were unusual in known Gor.	10
23	81	And Pani, as far as I knew, were not found in Bazi, or its environs.	10
23	280	The Pani had largely placed their long swords in racks near the edge of the feasting area, but none who bore them had surrendered the companion sword.	10
23	282	A similar practice I would learn often obtains in houses and barracks amongst the Pani, a practice in which the long sword is often set to one side, stored or racked, in a hall or vestibule, but the companion sword is kept at one's side, even near the sleeping mats and blocks.	10
24	2	Another warrior, one of the Pani, unsheathed his long sword, which he gripped with two hands.	10
24	35	More to my surprise were five fellows, not of the Pani, who, cross-legged, sat about, in attendance.	10
25	43	Did not Lord Nishida himself, as daimyos and shoguns, as Ubars, and tyrants, and kings and princes, sit uneasily beneath the sword of Damocles? Men were men, I thought, whether of Ar, or Cos, or Schendi, or of the Pani.	10
25	141	"We have caught the scent of a sleen," warned another, who was Pani.	10
25	208	Why did ships not return from that area? There were, of course, the Pani.	10
27	32	He did not know me, I was not of the Pani, I had not turned a failed assassin, Licinius, over to him for the expected justice of prolonged torture, and there was the matter of yesterday night, when I had mysteriously left the camp and had apparently engaged in a clandestine rendezvous with a strange...	10
27	35	I doubted the Pani were indulgent with respect to redundant personnel, hangers-on, parasites, passive burdens.	10
28	113	Tenting would be set up for the men, the Pani, the craftsmen, the teamsters, mercenaries, and others.	10
28	165	I did not know what might be typically the case with one of his rank amongst the Pani, but, if he were typical, they chose to share the hardships of their men.	10
28	171	Also, certain recognition devices are portions of a secret tradition within Pani clans, the members of which may be separated by thousands of pasangs, and these are either permanent, or relatively so.	10
28	421	From the trees there was a hideous wailing and four Pani, glaives ready, slipped amongst the trees.	10
28	423	It was trying to stanch the flooding stream bursting from its body with its free hand, and then it was thrown to the mud amongst us, several mercenaries and Pani now having hurried forward.	10
28	431	Two Pani, with lanterns, entered the forest.	10
28	438	The two Pani who had just entered the forest returned.	10
28	442	"We could not find the arm," said one of the Pani, he without the crossbow.	10
28	449	"Behold," said one of the Pani, indicating with the shaft of his long glaive the figure brought recently to the road.	10
28	475	"May I have a lantern?" I asked one of the Pani, and, given this artifact, I moved back, between the trees.	10
29	94	Orders were being given, behind us, by various wagon masters, and drovers, Pani, mercenaries, and all, began to withdraw to the wagons.	10
32	13	The place of killing was the beach, a corridor between the soft flow of the Alexandra and the platform, on which were found Lords Nishida and Okimoto, with its fronting and flanking, extended mass of armed observers, almost wholly Pani.	10
32	17	It is sometimes used in Pani warfare as a battle horn, a signaling device to regulate the movements of troops.	10
32	23	A fellow of the Pani opened the lid, let it fall back, and, with two hands, lifted tarn disks above the coffer, better than a foot or so, and then opened his hands and let them spill back into the container.	10
32	43	He was, after all, a daimyo of the Pani.	10
32	46	One of the Pani, of the entourage of Lord Okimoto, advanced before the platform and addressed the assembled, massed pairs, reiterating the terms of the contest, that each pair would do battle to the death, and the survivor would receive a tarn disk of gold.	10
32	50	Lord Okimoto, without turning his head, said something to Lord Nishida, which I could not hear, and Lord Nishida lifted his hand slightly, signaling the fellow of the Pani, who was serving as herald.	10
32	61	Hundreds of Pani stirred, looked to the platform, uneasy.	10
32	63	From behind the platform, Pani archers rushed forth, standing between the platform and the mercenaries.	10
32	64	Arrows were set to the strings of the Pani longbow, arrows which are released at the bow's lower third, muchly different from the release point of either the peasant or saddle bow.	10
32	66	I thrust my two Pani attendants to one side and went to stand before the platform, facing the seated Lord Okimoto.	10
32	70	Pani, both wielders of the glaive and graspers of the bow, looked to the platform.	10
33	57	I supposed some might have been placed amongst the Pani by Priest-Kings.	10
33	72	I gathered that this was impractical in the case of the Pani.	10
34	69	"That was not clear at the time, I gather," I said, "but it seems reasonably clear now that the agency involved must be the Pani, say, Lord Nishida, or Lord Okimoto, or those in whose behalf they labor".	10
34	108	I feared that the Pani did indeed intend to descend the Alexandra, before she froze.	10
34	109	This seemed to me a madness, but the only alternative seemed to be to abandon the camp, and scatter, seeking individual refuges and safety, thus surrendering the efforts of the past months and forswearing whatever projects might have brought the Pani to known Gor.	10
34	110	This second alternative, the dictate of reason, however, I knew would not be accepted by the Pani.	10
34	113	I made no pretense to understanding the Pani.	10
35	136	I did not care for this sort of talk on the part of the Pani.	10
36	11	Pani, too, were with us, and a number of mariners, and mercenaries.	10
38	81	Lord Okimoto himself was boarding, being borne in a sedan chair by eight Pani, which chair was followed by an entourage of contract women and guards.	10
38	82	After this, Aëtius, who seemed to be the fellow in charge of supervising matters, began to marshal and board, in long lines, both Pani and others.	10
38	111	As we were speaking, numerous Pani, and mercenaries, were ascending the ramp, boarding.	10
38	171	Too, of course, Pertinax and I shared quarters, could speak a language unfamiliar to most of the Pani, and so on.	10
38	249	Most of the men, artisans, storesmen, smiths, tarnsters, Pani, mercenaries, and others, marshaled and hastened by Aëtius, had now boarded.	10
38	261	Pani were now tying their hands behind their backs, and putting them on a long rope, which was strung from neck to neck.	10
38	265	Licinius Lysias of Turmus, who had made the attempt on the life of Lord Nishida during the training exercise, laden with chaining, was being prodded up the ramp by the butt of a Pani glaive.	10
38	272	In any event, Lord Nishida had sent numerous Pani forth to track and return Licinius to custody.	10
38	282	The Pani, I gathered, had methods likely to encourage volubility in their informants.	10
38	332	There might be, I thought, frictions or dissensions amongst the Pani.	10
38	368	Doubtless much ampler quarters were provided for Lords Nishida and Okimoto, and those ranking high amongst the Pani, probably in the stern castle.	10
38	510	Some Pani were there.	10
38	532	"You are curious, you wish to accompany the cavalry, you find it difficult to resist the unknown, you are unwilling to step aside from the path to adventure, a trait with which we of the Pani are not unfamiliar, and you are interested in a far shore".	10
38	631	"They are not Pani," said Lord Nishida, "but all are comely".	10
38	642	"Certainly not," he said, "nor Pani".	10
38	661	Behind us came some other fellows, some Pani, some oarsmen, and such.	10
40	154	"Surely such things exist amongst the Pani, as well," I said.	10
43	191	It seemed, given his rage and disappointment over the fruitlessness of our nocturnal interview, and the consequent collapse of his hope to secure a fugitive Talena, and thereby obtain both riches and a pardon, that he had had to reconcile himself to flight from known Gor and had accordingly sought b...	10

Book 30. (341 results) Mariners of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
31	8	All morning and into the afternoon coffles of slave girls, ours, those brought on the great ship, and local girls, lovely, but of a low-Pani sort, kept in the castle for the pleasure of the Pani warriors, roped together, had descended to the wharf and then, laden with treasure, had been conducted up...	10
9	63	The other men aboard, other than the Pani, or at least the overwhelming majority of us, as were the Pani, were men accustomed to weaponry and the arbitrations of force.	10
9	100	The Pani arrow is long, rather like that of the peasant bow, but the Pani bow is unlike the peasant bow, as it is longer, and lighter.	10
16	132	Too, I suspected that the Pani on board would not be likely to accommodate themselves to the housing of Pani prisoners, who might be as uncompromising, resolute, and irreconcilable as they themselves, as fanatically dedicated to their leaders as ours were to theirs, Lords Nishida and Okimoto.	10
16	243	Tarl Cabot was forward, on the port side, with his friend, Pertinax, and the Pani tarnsman, Tajima, fighting with our Pani against boarders, who were heaviest in that quarter.	10
24	109	Whereas the landing of the slaves might have been welcomed by the men, and might have well served the Pani by allaying some currents of suspicion amongst the men, it seems clear that, from the Pani point of view, the disembarkation of the slaves was no more than a disembarkation of cargo, no differe...	10
24	157	Did Pani now need them? Would Pani trust them? Slaves, of course, are in little danger.	10
25	66	Whereas certain things remained obscure to me, several of the lower Pani, who served in the castle, spoke to other Pani, and some of these spoke to me.	10
26	32	I had no idea of how effective lower Pani, mostly peasants, impressed or enlisted as ashigaru, might be, as it was not their way of life, so to speak, as it seemed to be for higher Pani, such as the warriors of Lord Temmu, and Lords Nishida and Okimoto, but I was sure they could be trained, might be...	10
26	39	Lesser Pani were mostly barred entry, but higher Pani, and we, during the day, if not on duty, came and went rather as we wished.	10
26	59	The hut was lit by hanging lamps, and floored by a large, colorful mat, presumably to enhance the pleasure of the clients, for the Pani, at least the high Pani, refined, and civilized, tend to be quite open to the pleasures of the senses, such as color, textures, scents, and such.	10
31	17	Interestingly, the Pani girls, though slaves, and of low-Pani origin, had been much distressed that they had been neck-roped in the same coffle with our ship slaves.	10
36	506	How else might one hear the tones of distant trumpets, the tramp of vanished armies, ford rivers where now lies cracked earth, witness distant sunsets, and stand wondering on the shores of vanished seas? Pani warriors, those of the high Pani, so to speak, I learn from the stranger, are almost all li...	10
3	1349	"They are spoken of as Pani," she said.	10
3	1372	"Who is in charge here," I asked, "and what is the destination of this voyage, and what is its purpose?" "The Pani," she said, "clearly.	10
3	1378	"Perhaps only the Pani, whoever they might be, know," I said.	10
4	17	They were, I took it, Pani.	10
4	19	I would learn that the fellow who had spoken, one of the Pani, lithe, pantherlike, was Lord Nishida.	10
4	21	He was also of the Pani, and his name was Tajima.	10
4	22	The other chief man, as I took him to be, was also of the Pani, who, I gathered, were important in this enterprise, whatever might be its purpose.	10
4	39	The larger one of the Pani, the heavier, seemingly somnolent one, was Lord Okimoto.	10
4	41	The fifth man was not of the Pani.	10
5	141	I looked to the side, and saw standing there he of the Pani, whom I would learn was Lord Nishida.	10
7	12	The unusual men, the Pani, spoke little, lest it be amongst themselves.	10
7	30	The slaves, I gathered, had been, on the whole, purchased here and there by the Pani, over several months, perhaps for the contentment of themselves and others, perhaps as trading goods, perhaps as merchandise, to be eventually sold in one market or another.	10
7	116	I thought the Pani, whom I took it were responsible for the purchases, had shown excellent judgment.	10
7	242	"There are the Pani," I said, "the soldiers of Lords Nishida and Okimoto".	10
7	257	I knew there was a pretty price on the pretty head of the slave, Alcinoë, once the Lady Flavia of Ar, once confidante of the former Ubara, Talena, but it was scarcely enough to enrich several hundred men, mariners and soldiers, Pani, and others.	10
8	13	"Curse Tersites, curse this ship, curse the Pani!" hissed a man.	10
8	60	Its rider, now dismounting, was one of the Pani, a man called Tajima, who was of the retinue of Lord Nishida, but serving in the cavalry.	10
8	323	Pani had been set about, to guard the bulwarks, and, on the ice, to supervise the work about the ship.	10
8	471	Pani, with bows and glaves, patrolled the perimeter below.	10
9	19	"No! To the weapon room!" The Pani were still armed, and officers, and various guardsmen.	10
9	54	I would conjecture there were some five hundred of the unusual men, the Pani, on board, divided amongst the commands of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, some two hundred and fifty each.	10
9	56	I was not clear on the purpose of the voyage, but it doubtless had to do with war, for our ship, despite what might be the views of its shipwright, Tersites, was serving essentially as a transport, one undertaking an unprecedented voyage, whose intended destination seemed likely to be known only to ...	10
9	57	The male Pani, for example, were uniformly warriors.	10
9	59	There were a handful of Pani females aboard, but I saw little of them.	10
9	67	I did not doubt but what such goods would figure in the plans of the Pani.	10
9	70	I gathered that tarns might be unknown at the World's End; else why would they be aboard? The Pani seemed to have no shortage of resources, given their financing of the ship of Tersites, the hiring of hundreds of mercenaries, the purchasing of slaves, and such.	10
9	99	"It is a Pani arrow," said a fellow.	10
9	102	In the corridor above, the Pani bow must have been used diagonally, given the low ceiling of the corridor.	10
9	105	The Pani bow, the peasant bow, and the saddle bow, of course, and such bows, have a rapidity of fire which far exceeds that of even the stirruped crossbow.	10
9	143	Three men were dead in the corridor; one was of the Pani, probably the room guard, posted outside the door, and two others, who may have fallen to his swift, small sword, each, apparently, by a single stroke.	10
9	144	He of the Pani, in any event, whether offered terms or not, had obviously refused to surrender the weapons in his charge, preferring rather to die in their defense.	10
9	145	I would later learn that this standing at one's post, this adherence to duty, was typical of the Pani.	10
9	180	"Fools," he hissed, "fools!" There were footsteps in the corridor and some seven or eight Pani, with their odd, long-handled, curved blades removed from their sashes, hurried past us.	10
9	185	"Yes," he said, "for Cos, for honor!" I looked to the body of the slain Pani some feet from us, sprawled across the doorway.	10
9	187	"For Cos then," I said, "for honor!" I then sprang from the side of Philoctetes and hurried after the Pani.	10
9	201	The Pani moved swiftly through the corridor, single file, in a smooth, shuffling gait, almost in cadence.	10
9	209	The Pani had, however, judiciously ignored the entryways to the lower levels.	10
9	218	Near it, cut down, were two Pani.	10
9	222	In the light of the nearby lamp, hung from the low ceiling of the corridor, I noted that more than one of the Pani was either wounded, or his garments had been slashed.	10
9	227	I did know, now, there were eight Pani at the door, and one unarmed Cosian.	10
9	230	The Pani, silently, swiftly, their long-hilted, tasseled swords grasped in two hands, fell upon armed men from behind.	10
9	234	In the melee, farther on, the mixing was such that I could not tell, except for the occasional Pani, who might be mutinous and who not.	10
9	258	I saw one of the Pani directing his bow toward me.	10
9	322	I saw more Pani entering the area, from side doors.	10
9	327	Certainly they had not hoped to stand against united Pani, loyal to their lords, and better than a thousand men who might have been armed and brought into the fray from below.	10
9	332	Mutineers, I later learned, had been killing one another to attain the saddle of a tarn, many presumably having hoped to buy that place with steel, when, unfortunately for them, the ship's loyalist forces, Pani and others, rallied and came to the first tarn hold.	10
9	343	"Throw down your arms!" Some did, and were hastily bound by Pani, neck to neck, hands behind their backs.	10
9	349	Many of these were felled on the ramp by Pani bows, now with clear targets.	10
9	361	The Pani archers, in lines, set arrows to the strings of their bows.	10
9	365	The lines of Pani archers loosed their arrows.	10
9	367	"Stop!" cried Cabot, to Pani ascending the ramp, cutting throats.	10
9	372	Cabot ran to the ramp, climbed it two thirds of the way, and interposed himself between stricken mutineers and two of the Pani, who bore red knives.	10
9	375	But the man Tajima who had followed Cabot on the ramp had placed himself between Cabot, who, crouched down, was on guard, and the two Pani.	10
9	377	"Stop, in the name of Lord Nishida!" The two Pani stepped away, each to a side, their blades respectfully lowered.	10
9	386	Several Pani, behind Lord Okimoto, put arrows to the strings of their bows.	10
9	394	It was my understanding that each lord had something like two hundred and fifty Pani in his command, that those of Lord Nishida had been housed at a place called Tarn Camp, north of the Alexandra, some pasangs from its headwaters, and that those of Lord Okimoto had been housed differently, but in th...	10
9	397	Most, but not all, of those who were not Pani had been with Lord Nishida at Tarn Camp.	10
9	401	The Pani had apparently much gold to invest in recruitment, and had not been sparing or particular in its distribution.	10
9	403	The Pani, I suspected, perhaps because of their cultural background, in which certain values might be presupposed and never questioned, might have underestimated the dangers involved.	10
9	410	The mutineers who had, at Cabot's word, discarded their weapons, and were now kneeling, bound and neck-roped, Pani about with drawn blades, looked at one another in apprehension, and surely to Cabot, as well.	10
9	467	Suddenly many eyes turned toward the top of the ramp, to the open deck, where, now beside Lord Nishida, there stood a silent figure, clearly of the Pani.	10
9	478	"It is Nodachi," said one of the Pani.	10
9	486	It is not well to be the target of a Pani marksman.	10
9	488	The tethered mutineers, some sixty or so, were taken below, in the custody of Pani, and put in chains.	10
9	492	Pani, too, began to file from the tarn hold.	10
9	499	Hundreds of fellows were still below, either sealed in their quarters, or remaining there, given the instructions of Pani corridor guards.	10
9	545	I exited the tarn hold through the same door through which the eight Pani and I had entered it earlier.	10
10	4	Pani no longer policed the work areas.	10
11	8	Were there ships at World's End? The Pani had insisted that regular watches be kept, from the platform and ring, even at night.	10
12	97	I would later learn of five originally suspect men, not of the Pani, armsmen, originally with Lord Nishida, of which number Tyrtaios was but one, the others being Quintus, Telarion, Fabius, and Lykourgos.	10
12	329	Since the mutiny the high military authorities on board, Lords Okimoto and Nishida, of the Pani, of whom I took Lord Okimoto to have priority, had increased security considerably.	10
12	404	I knew neither assailant; they turned out to be two men of Lord Nishida's retinue, neither of the Pani, Fabius and Telarion.	10
13	143	Two warriors of the Pani, which groups had not participated in the looting, had slain one another, which, given the custom of their discipline, was unthinkable.	10
14	259	I had gathered that every man was valued, if only as a tool or beast of sorts, by the Pani, and I was sure that I could count on the patience, and diligence, of Tarl Cabot, and several others.	10
15	5	Lord Okimoto had found Seremides of use earlier in the voyage; his sword had been formidable, and he had muchly facilitated Lord Okimoto's contacts with those of us not of the Pani.	10
15	6	He was, in a way, a liaison between Lord Okimoto's group and the mariners and armsmen not of the Pani.	10
15	30	After the losses of the mutiny we fortunately had still better than two thousand men who might be applied to the work, some four hundred and fifty Pani, distributed between the commands of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, and some seventeen hundred mariners and armsmen, mostly armsmen.	10
16	58	"Were any of the Pani?" asked Cabot.	10
16	95	Below, as though from nowhere, large numbers of men, of the Pani sort, emerged wildly from hatches, screaming, wielding weapons, swarming over the deck.	10
16	101	A hundred Pani must have leapt into the galley, which rocked and almost capsized.	10
16	109	The Pani below had set fire to our galley and were trying to thrust it against our hull.	10
16	115	The Pani who had surprised our boarding crew had apparently been concealed below, under the compartments.	10
16	116	Our Pani might have suspected this, but the boarding crew, being less familiar with the draft and construction of such ships, had not.	10
16	129	Then I shuddered, suspecting the purpose of the Pani lord.	10
16	191	I saw one of the enemy Pani put an arm over the rail and he dropped back, headless, and fell into the sea.	10
16	204	Some enemy Pani did attain the deck, mostly forward, on the port side.	10
16	205	They were met by our Pani and armsmen.	10
16	207	Meanwhile, in accord with the instructions of Lord Okimoto, the great ship had come about, toward the warning ship, and there was a rending crash, as the great ship crushed the smoldering remains of our galley, almost at water level, and eight or ten of the small boats, caught between the grinding h...	10
16	213	The Pani below, not uneagerly, readied themselves.	10
16	217	Lord Okimoto, on the other hand, was well aware of the sizable complement of fighting men on board, a small army, who would, in any likely contest, as on an open field, far outnumber the enemy Pani in the small boats and on the warning ship, perhaps by as many as four or five to one; and was, accord...	10
16	228	Those whom the Pani had recruited were on the whole large, strong, agile, skilled men, many from the free companies, many from the occupation forces fugitive from Ar, and many, I fear, from amongst brigands and renegades.	10
16	230	And the Pani who served Lords Nishida and Okimoto, I gathered, though perhaps on the whole of a nobler breed, were likely to be extremely dangerous men, winnowed by years of conflict, men largely the survivors of lengthy, bloody wars.	10
16	237	It was the first time I had seen the equanimity of this Pani nobleman jarred.	10
16	245	I saw two Pani whom I did not recognize from the ship, though both wore yellow, the color of the livery of Lord Okimoto's men.	10
16	247	Our Pani kept much to themselves.	10
16	256	The two Pani, in yellow livery, were on the deck then, the planks run with blood, at our feet.	10
16	260	The Pani who had been engaged there, with the exception of some two or three left guard at the rail, now rushed elsewhere.	10
17	74	Her eye color and hair color were unusual, I gathered, in the lands of the Pani.	10
17	81	The Pani did, of course, keep slaves, as the gifting of Saru would make clear, as well as the likely disposition, sale or such, if land were ever reached, of the lovely beasts normally housed in the Kasra and Venna keeping areas.	10
17	129	His Pani would be likely to set upon Pertinax, strip him, tie his feet together, and cast him, on a rope, over the stern, for the few sharks which tend, even in the open sea, to follow a ship, for the garbage.	10
17	138	It was explained to me that the slaves were of such beauty that hooding was a precaution against loosening the larls of desire amongst the crew, even the Pani, with the result of anticipated bloodshed, but I found this hard to believe.	10
19	17	The hatches and portals to the open deck were now guarded, from within, by Pani swordsmen.	10
19	128	Cabot had now been joined by Pertinax and Tajima, and a number of Pani and armsmen were emerging from the lower decks, forward.	10
19	219	Might not such cataclysmic births herald a world or worlds similarly formed? Perhaps, I suspected, we were not far from the World's End, the Homeland of the Pani.	10
20	10	The Pani were imperturbable.	10
21	4	Pani had interposed themselves between the great water casks and angry men with clubs and poles who wished to shatter the casks, that one must put ashore for fresh water.	10
21	106	Hands, too, amongst the higher Pani, are often concealed in the broad sleeves of their robes.	10
21	112	This was the case with many of the Pani, not all.	10
21	119	Lord Okimoto was handed a glass of the Builders by a Pani guardsman.	10
21	164	More Pani now appeared on deck, armed, as they always were.	10
21	166	The Pani, of course, were far outnumbered by the armsmen and mariners.	10
21	198	By their mysterious power, and secret sky ships, it seems they had long ago placed Initiates amongst the Pani, perhaps centuries ago, who had taught them Gorean.	10
21	201	It was written however, amongst the Pani, in an unfamiliar script, or set of signs, as it is, as well, I understand, in the Tahari.	10
21	222	There was something rather deceitful or meretricious in all this, of course, as the Pani had surely not brought these goods across the vast width of turbulent, green Thassa without plans for their disposition.	10
21	283	Pani looked to Lords Nishida and Okimoto.	10
21	284	Were they to use their swords? To be sure, such an act would doubtless have cost dozens of men, and forever divided the Pani from the mariners and armsmen.	10
21	286	Too, the mission of the Pani, whatever it might be, would crumble.	10
21	352	Pani would be the first to board.	10
21	362	The Pani had made many excellent purchases.	10
21	539	Difficulties with the Pani would ensue.	10
21	561	Few cared to perish beneath the blades of the Pani.	10
21	594	"Beware the Pani!" called the officer.	10
21	735	Others who had accompanied the retreat as free women might have found themselves eventually sold in the western ports, in particular, in Brundisium, where the Pani seem to have purchased most of their slaves for the voyage.	10
21	736	The Pani, of course, would not have realized, in most cases, that there were bounties in the offing, and, had they realized it, they were, apparently, not much interested in such things.	10
21	743	Too, if the Pani had any interest in bounties, and such, the last thing they would have done would be to transport such women far from Ar.	10
21	744	The Pani wanted beauty, not gold, of which it seemed they had a good deal.	10
22	27	Some two thirds of the armsmen and mariners, following some fifty Pani, from the men of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, over several Ahn, beginning yesterday evening, had gone ashore.	10
22	166	Some fifty Pani from the great ship had preceded our hundreds of mariners and armsmen ashore.	10
22	169	Had these lines of skilled, hardened men, selected with care by the Pani, veterans, mercenaries, killers, bandits, brigands, and pirates, from enlisted crews, rural gangs, disbanded cohorts, and scattered free companies, not checked the enemy, few if any of our forces would have escaped death.	10
22	181	And, as a man fell, he was at the left of a Pani warrior, with a large, horned, face-concealing helmet.	10
22	182	The Pani warrior clutched a long, curved sword with two hands.	10
22	194	Some Pani were about him, to his immediate right.	10
22	195	I now have little doubt that it was his firmness, and leadership, and those of his fellows, Pani and others, which had organized and stiffened that resolute defense behind which the frenzied withdrawal of our primary forces, apparently ambushed, charged, and outnumbered, was in desperate progress.	10
22	218	The original ambush in the defile had begun with a rain of arrow fire, which had taken a heavy toll on our fellows, Pani and otherwise.	10
22	220	Now, however, to a new drum signal, hurrying between suddenly opening, evenly spaced gaps in the enemy forces, we saw what must have been one hundred to one hundred and fifty archers, with the large Pani bows.	10
22	221	These men were not even in position when Lord Nishida signaled to his left flank and right flank, the left commanded by Tajima, of his retinue, whom I knew primarily as a Pani tarnsman, liaison to, or lieutenant to, Cabot, in the tarn cavalry, and the strange warrior, Nodachi, commanding the right f...	10
22	225	The Pani archers took up their position some fifteen to seventeen yards before our line, some five to three before the infantry of the enemy.	10
22	228	The Pani bow is powerful but, like the common peasant bow, it, given the lightness of its missile, and that it is drawn by the strength of a human arm, can rarely tear its way through a human body, and its force, even if passing through an arm or throat, is largely spent in its passage.	10
22	234	Then, again and again, I heard the striking of arrows, one following on another, into the inert barriers, once alive, interposed between us and the Pani bowmen.	10
22	258	I was more concerned with the Pani forces before us, presumably awaiting the issuance of its orders.	10
22	269	When it began to sound, we witnessed, as expected, the movement down the defile, marked by a hundred or more torches, of the mass of Pani reserves.	10
22	277	I was Cosian, not Pani.	10
22	293	I supposed Lord Nishida, and the Pani, or some of them, might have read the drum.	10
23	40	Following that time, too, Lords Okimoto and Nishida had retained something like four hundred and fifty Pani warriors in their commands.	10
23	42	Whereas we had lost no tarns in the recent tragedy of the ill-advised landing, we had suffered a severe loss of men, Pani and otherwise, in the fighting, in the defile, and later, on the beach.	10
23	44	Proportionately the Pani, unflinching, ever foremost in battle, underwent the greatest loss.	10
23	47	I estimated our losses as one hundred Pani warriors and three hundred armsmen and mariners.	10
23	48	That left us with some three hundred and fifty Pani warriors, and some fourteen hundred mariners and armsmen.	10
23	80	It was apparently only a tiny remnant of a once mighty force, driven about, harried, fought, defeated again and again, some seven or eight hundred men, perhaps a thousand, which, exhausted, bloodied, and starving, on a gray, cold morning, surrounded save for the sea, awaiting an onslaught they could...	10
23	83	"And they have dared to return?" "They are Pani," said Cabot.	10
23	109	"That may do for the Pani," I said, "but it is not likely to do for others".	10
23	115	Our men, who are mercenaries, and hired as such, save for the Pani, prefer to choose their wars intelligently, to weigh odds, to balance gold carefully against blood, to fight for a presumed victory, with loot and pay in the offing, not for defeat, not for the chains of a slave, not for a likely dea...	10
24	3	Some Pani folk, shuffling, heads down, ill-clad, had threaded their way past us to where lay the wharf, against which, last night, we had moored the great ship.	10
24	4	These new Pani, so different from the aloof, proud warriors with which we had become familiar, seemed scarcely to exist.	10
24	5	At the wharf, under the direction of higher Pani, in trip after trip, they would gather burdens, hundreds of bundles, bails, and boxes.	10
24	9	The lower Pani, so to speak, were discouraged from touching such things.	10
24	10	I had earlier shouldered a box, but one of the ship's Pani warned me to leave that for others.	10
24	13	The Pani world was one of complex arrangements and degrees, and many proprieties, and formalities, at least to me, were mysterious.	10
24	27	The nests remained closed, almost invisible in the hull, and, I had little doubt, were fastened shut, and guarded, from the inside, by Pani.	10
24	29	Aside from Tersites and Aëtius, who refused to come ashore, some officers, and a handful of mariners, only Pani were allowed on board, and their role, one supposed, was to prevent a general return to the ship, if not now, later.	10
24	53	The most interesting cargo I noted being disembarked from the great ship, a cargo handled with great gentleness, and one not surrendered to the lower Pani, but to warriors, were the eggs of tarns.	10
24	58	The Pani had slain more than one man for such acts.	10
24	60	It took eight of the lower Pani to manage the cage up the ascent to the castle.	10
24	80	For example, they should not, at least initially, be so desirable, and exciting, that Pani free women might kill them.	10
24	81	The Pani free women must come to understand that they are no threat to them, no threat to their beauty, prestige, station, and power, but only animals, and slaves, work beasts and toys for their men.	10
24	85	To be sure, these were, on the whole, the livestock of the Pani, to be dealt with as they might please.	10
24	111	It suggested that this value might be unrecognized or, more likely, given the interest Seremides had expressed in her, that it was immaterial to the Pani who were seemingly in no need of economic resources, or, at least, of such a kind.	10
24	135	The coffle, interestingly, was accompanied by Pani youth, of the lesser sort, with switches.	10
24	154	At the World's End, who could gainsay the Pani? The tarn cavalry had been brought, largely intact, to the holding of Lord Temmu.	10
24	156	Surely they were not Pani.	10
24	196	One of the Pani youth had come up behind her, probably unnoticed, caught her speaking, and struck her, several times, swiftly, about the left arm and neck.	10
24	221	"Pani are strange," said a man.	10
24	222	"It was a Pani madness".	10
24	230	Pani, and some others, might have resisted, and the enterprise of the great ship, whatever it might be, would doubtless have come to an end.	10
24	231	And the Pani, of course, would brook no temporary return to the mainland, no delay in their venture to the World's End.	10
24	234	What was not clear was why the Pani would have her on board, at all.	10
24	237	Indeed, why would she have been so mysteriously swept from the height of the Central Cylinder in Ar, long ago? She must have some importance to Pani, or to someone, or something, but what it might be, I did not know.	10
24	245	But, as far as I knew, we might be the only three other than, presumably, some of the Pani, who could do so.	10
24	271	"Keep your head down," said one of the Pani youth to a slave, and struck her, stingingly, once on each calf, below the hem of the tunic.	10
24	288	The Pani, of course, could give her to anyone.	10
24	315	Looking up toward the rail from the wharf, I saw Seremides, watching the Pani below.	10
24	321	Some of the lesser Pani were already returning to the wharf.	10
24	368	"You are not of the Pani," I said.	10
25	28	Pani continued to guard the great ship.	10
25	46	I had learned much of these matters from some of the lower Pani after the wharfing of the ship, who, once they had overcome their diffidence, seemed pleased to speak with me, one who would speak with them, pleasantly, bow to them, show them respect, and such.	10
25	47	They became silent when one of the higher Pani might approach.	10
25	53	Why else would eyes, after all this time, be given to the great ship? The anxiety of the men was somewhat assuaged when it was made clear to them that the Pani who guarded the ship were not mariners, and that the small number of officers and mariners who came and went upon her, from time to time, wo...	10
25	57	The Pani, of course, would be well aware of this.	10
25	60	There were free Pani women in the castle, perhaps companions of officers, and several contract women.	10
25	78	The Pani did have, however, one swift mode of communication.	10
25	79	I gathered this from my friends amongst the lower Pani.	10
25	116	Adraste, within, kneeling, in the rather generous tunic, given to the slaves by the Pani, looked out, through the bars.	10
25	201	"How came you into the keeping of the Pani?" I asked.	10
25	207	When I regained consciousness I found myself stripped and chained, with others, in a wooden stockade, somewhere in the northern forests, in the power of these strange, inexplicable men, Pani.	10
25	285	"Doubtless some of the high Pani," I said, "or you would not be here, at all".	10
25	304	"At least," I said, "the Pani have given you a rather ample tunic".	10
25	306	"Perhaps it will protect you from the Pani free women," I said.	10
25	363	"I was purchased, honestly and openly, in Brundisium, by Pani!" "As a common slave," sneered Adraste.	10
25	365	Presumably the Pani had bought her on speculation, that she would improve.	10
26	4	To one side Pani archers, with their large, unusual bows, were plying shafts into silk-covered straw targets.	10
26	8	A robust exploratory force of some five hundred men, a hundred Pani warriors of the men of Lord Temmu, and four hundred of our mercenaries, our armsmen, had been sent forth eight days ago.	10
26	11	"Many of the enemy, it is said," said a fellow, "are low Pani, impressed into service.	10
26	28	"They will be Pani women," said a man.	10
26	33	And, of course, they would be stiffened by, and supplemented by, higher Pani, the sort who had, it seems, though doubtless in greater numbers, previously reduced and decimated the men of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, warriors for whom I entertained the highest regard.	10
26	42	The Pani, I had discovered on the ship, were familiar with such devices, and, as I later learned, with ciphers and codes, as well.	10
26	45	These shells were not typical Pani currency, which, for the most part, consisted of metal coins, of silver, gold, and copper, of various certified weights, struck by various shoguns.	10
26	50	Lesser Pani sometimes, on errands, carry the coin or coins in the mouth, rather as slaves may on the continent, and on the islands, while marketing for their masters.	10
26	58	The girls in the hut were not contract women but slaves, as the Pani keep slaves, as well as others, as is common in refined, advanced civilizations.	10
26	62	The Pani free women, incidentally, seem, except for the companions of high officers, and such, to have much lower status than the typical Gorean free woman, certainly one of upper caste.	10
26	67	These slaves, with an exception or two to be noted, are Pani females.	10
26	74	But as we recognize, and the Pani do as well, the ideal mounting site for a token of bondage is the neck.	10
26	80	As noted, such slaves are almost always Pani females.	10
26	87	Their outburst earned them a cry of rage from the Pani woman in charge of the slave hut, who tore away their sheets, and gave them several stinging strokes of a bamboo switch.	10
26	93	The Pani clients, of course, took it for granted that any slave in the slave hut would be obedient, prompt, and adept in a variety of performances.	10
26	124	Though I had never been in that room, its window high, unshuttered, open to the sky, it obviously housed a number of the swift-flighted, messenger vulos, by means of which Pani might convey messages.	10
26	132	Interestingly, the number of Pani aboard the great ship, guarding it, had been recently increased.	10
26	133	This suggested apprehension on the part of the Pani, and suggested, as well, though not as clearly, that an order of march might be imminent.	10
26	136	It seemed that the Pani aboard the ship were to be well-supplied.	10
26	141	They were in the charge, of course, of youth, boys of the lesser Pani.	10
26	145	Also, of course, they were in the presence of a free person, in this case, a boy, of the lesser Pani.	10
26	215	"On the ship," I said, "you were aware of Pani?" "Yes," she said, "but I knew nothing of their numbers".	10
26	216	"On the ship," I said, "who were the high officers of the Pani?" "I know now," she said, "they were Lords Nishida and Okimoto".	10
26	284	It had given me great pleasure to see the former two highest women in Ar, tunicked, collared, and neck-roped, portering for the Pani.	10
26	430	"You belong to the Pani, to the ship".	10
27	8	There were two Pani on the parapet.	10
27	10	"What is going on?" I asked the Pani.	10
27	14	The courtyard below was beginning to be crowded, as men, our armsmen, and Pani, even some free women, or contract women, emerged from their respective housings.	10
27	19	Tyrtaios spoke neither to me nor to the Pani, but scanned the trail, the road, the village, the horizon, quickly, expertly.	10
27	37	It was also noted that now, before Pani warriors, they did not kneel, but prostrated themselves, putting themselves instantly, trembling, to second obeisance position, prone, hands to the sides of their head, eyes to the ground.	10
27	41	Down in the courtyard, now, in addition to the drums, there were soundings on the Pani's conch horns.	10
27	49	None of the high Pani came to greet the column.	10
27	69	"No speaking!" warned a Pani warrior, within, directing the bannermen, and their attendant troops, to follow him, away from the castle.	10
27	71	"There were a hundred Pani," I said.	10
27	77	"I saw no Pani officers," I said.	10
27	89	"We are not Pani," he said.	10
27	103	I supposed Lord Temmu, who had furnished the hundred Pani who marched with the exploratory force, had some two thousand troops on which he might rely, most housed within the castle grounds.	10
27	125	"We are not Pani," said Aeacus.	10
27	135	At this point, a Pani crier began to cry out.	10
27	149	The Pani do raise tarsk, verr, and, of course, vulos.	10
27	167	Some of the Pani, I supposed, must know who he was, his background, his motivation to join us.	10
27	169	And I did not think that even his students, such as Pertinax and Tajima, the Pani tarnsman, understood the mystery of this unusually skilled, but enigmatic warrior.	10
28	5	"These," I said, and, holding them bent over, in leading position, one on my left, one on my right, I produced two slaves, lengthily tunicked, as the Pani seemingly preferred.	10
28	63	"They are not to be put to slave use, without the permission of their owners, the Pani".	10
28	68	The fellows should have been grateful enough to the Pani that the slaves were made available for serving the general feast, in its several locations.	10
28	273	Near me were two Pani, guards, on the parapet, as well.	10
28	282	What a weakling and fool I was! I wondered if she should be freed? Did I hate her so much? Were her soft lips not made to be pressed to the feet of a master? I laughed, and the two Pani guardsmen regarded me, puzzled.	10
29	1	What Occurred at the Gate Four Pani, in defensive stance, glaves at the ready, stood before the innermost gate.	10
29	3	The Pani did not budge, though, obviously, resistance would have been useless.	10
29	33	I broke through the crowd, I think a moment before the four Pani guardsmen would have been rushed, and the first of the three gates swung open.	10
29	41	"Do not betray her! Do not insult her! You have taken fee! Honor is due! You have come to serve, so serve! Do not desert your fellows, the Pani, and others, who have fought with you! You have been treated fairly by Lords Nishida and Okimoto.	10
29	61	Although the Pani on the ship would be much outnumbered, they would have the advantage of position.	10
29	75	Not one Pani warrior was with him.	10
29	90	"Lord Temmu will be mustering Pani!" said a fellow.	10
29	95	"Certainly," said Lord Nishida, indicating that the Pani guards open the gate.	10
29	99	In moments Lord Nishida, the four Pani guards, myself, and two or three armsmen in the vicinity, were alone, by the gate.	10
30	4	Each man, as he entered, cast his weapons in the pile to the right of the barricade, as he passed through it, was searched by Pani, relieved of any unsurrendered weapon, had his left forearm stained, and was then conducted to one of the barracks which had been reinforced that it might serve as a pri...	10
30	35	When they reached the foot of the trail they found it barricaded, before the wharf, a barricade manned by several Pani, drawn from the ship, a barricade, given the narrowness of the passage, easily defended by a few against many.	10
30	36	Outside the trail walls, Pani archers had been stationed, lest any, held inside, attempt to scale the walls.	10
30	45	Similarly, if the deserters should congregate in any part of the passage, or be forced to do so, say, by Pani entering the passage, they might be similarly discomfited.	10
30	47	Whereas the surrender was unconditional, the deserters realized, as well as others, first, that the Pani would not be likely to accept a grievous loss of armsmen which would be likely to jeopardize, if not ruin, their cause, and, second, that their brethren, their fellow armsmen, and their fellows o...	10
30	120	"The Pani are not fools".	10
30	142	He may well have conveyed his intelligence to the Pani, particularly had he inveighed with Tereus, or others, to permit him to accompany the flight, and had had his request refused.	10
30	143	Why should others escape the World's End, if not Seremides? I speculated, of course, that the Pani had independently anticipated, and prepared for, such an exigency.	10
30	145	Seremides had, of course, attempted to use the failure of the desertion, naturally enough, as an opportunity to embroil Tereus, whom he feared, with the Pani.	10
30	157	Some Pani were on the wall, as well, and some were equipped with a glass of the Builders.	10
30	163	I thought of the disarmed men, more than eight hundred and fifty, indeed, precisely, eight hundred and seventy, now held in the three prison barracks, hot, windows boarded, guarded by Pani.	10
30	168	I knew what the Pani would do.	10
31	15	Our girls had been returned to their kennels, in the sheds, and the Pani girls to their housings within the castle.	10
31	18	Some had dared to voice their objections, and had been well switched, across the backs of the calves and ankles, by the Pani warriors charged with the care of the coffle, in this instance, as indicated, a treasure coffle, one used to transport carefully sealed, and marked, sacks and boxes from the s...	10
31	19	Were some slaves, truly, as might be suggested by the protests of the Pani slaves, objections promptly rebuked by the sting of switches, so appropriately despised, and so obviously inferior to others, that it was humiliating to share a coffle with them? Certainly there were differences amongst the s...	10
31	24	Surely the Pani slaves and our ship slaves, despite obvious differences in appearance, had much in common.	10
31	28	Thus, despite the concerns of the Pani collar meat, how could they be more equal? On the other hand, our ship slaves, with their generally fair skins, were neck-roped at the end of the coffle, which is often taken as a position of inferiority.	10
31	29	This, I gather, pleased their Pani chain sisters.	10
31	33	The hands of the Pani slaves were tied together, and fastened about their collar, either in front, or behind the neck, and the hands of the ship slaves were thonged together behind their back.	10
31	43	"Too, these Pani are not mariners".	10
32	8	Already the Pani with their vessels of oil, and their torches, had begun the descent of the wharf trail.	10
32	9	Too, at its end would be other Pani, who would let them pass, but not others.	10
32	11	I heard cries below, and sensed Pani rushing out from the barracks, to the courtyard.	10
32	15	I heard alarmed blasts, twice, the second more distant, on one of the Pani's conch horns, perhaps kept on the parapet.	10
32	17	Almost at its end the Pani, with their flammables, and lifted torches, looked up, startled.	10
32	20	The Pani, descending the trail, arrested in their descent, by angry sheets of fire, backed away, for the heat, and could not proceed.	10
32	21	The Pani at the barricade looked up, startled, crying out, in futility.	10
32	26	Angry Pani were shouting below.	10
32	28	No Pani were on the ship, having been withdrawn in the afternoon.	10
32	47	I saw a number of Pani rushing toward the ship with torches, hurrying through scattered, subsiding flames.	10
32	53	Men, clinging to it, Pani, climbing it, had fallen to the water, between the wharf and the ship.	10
32	60	"Blow, wind, blow!" The Pani, of course, would wish to burn the ship, that our armsmen would be stranded, here, at the World's End, without recourse, that all hope of escape would fade, and that their eyes must now turn perforce to undesired, unwelcome war.	10
32	63	The Pani had seen to it that they would discharge their fee.	10
35	28	"Pani," he said.	10
35	50	"Pani, I gather," I said, "have been in Brundisium before".	10
35	80	Two of the Pani, at the height of the gangplank, had instantly removed the longer of their two swords from their sash, and, two hands fixed on the long, tasseled handle, drew back the weapons.	10
35	93	Four Pani rapidly descended the gangplank, passed Demetrion and his party, and threaded their way through the crowd.	10
35	95	He did, however, scrutinize the four Pani who, intent on some mission, looking neither to the left nor right, moved quickly past.	10
35	118	Neither of the Pani warriors at the top of the gangplank lifted their swords.	10
35	128	"What are such things but pieces of metal," said the Pani.	10
36	1	The Warehouse; The Encounter with Cineas, the Agent of Tyrtaios; The Gift of Lord Nishida and Tarl Cabot, Tarnsman It was now four days following the docking of the Pani ship, the River Dragon, and the stranger and I, invited by Captain Nakamura and the harbor master, Demetrion, who now seemed on s...	10
36	6	The Pani had brought much with them, for selling and trading, taken from the many officially sealed, watertight compartments of the River Dragon, and local Merchants, who swarmed about, within, moving from table to table, and to the floor displays, were interested, as well, in buying and selling.	10
36	8	For example, exquisite Pani ceramics, intricate carvings, and dyed silks, produced in the castle shops of Lord Temmu might bring silver in Brundisium, and be sold for gold in Ar and Turia, and the silver from Brundisium, in Brundisium, of course, might be exchanged for sinew, arrow points, fletching...	10
36	16	Another commodity the Pani were interested in buying, I learned, was women.	10
36	27	I have little doubt that this invitation, though issued in the name of both the harbor master and the Pani captain, came about as a result of the captain's request.	10
36	33	"He is not Pani," said the captain.	10
36	41	It was not a Pani sword, but a gladius, a weapon with which, I took it, the stranger would be familiar.	10
36	184	The Pani, discovering that the Initiates were not marketing their golden pans but expected to receive something for nothing, as it were, or nothing tangible, asked them to step aside, as they were impeding the way of honest tradesmen.	10
36	311	I saw now the four Pani who had originally left the ship, the man, Tatsu, amongst them.	10
36	375	The head which had been removed from the body, with the apparent intention of bringing it eventually to the attention of Tyrtaios, was given into the keeping of the Pani, Tatsu, who accepted it, and, holding it by the hair, bowed, and then withdrew, with his three fellows, presumably to the ship.	10
36	387	Many of the high Pani, I am told, are sensitive to beauty, to matters of artistry and grace, even in small things, such as the serving of tea, the arrangement of flowers.	10
36	509	Indeed, it is not unusual for a Pani warrior to compose songs, and poetry.	10
36	511	This misunderstanding was based on the fact that the Pani transcribe their Gorean in their own way, with their own characters, as do many in the Tahari region.	10
36	528	The Pani, I gathered, well knew how to bind a female.	10
36	532	I moved the long Pani tunic up, on her left side, to the hip.	10
36	540	The Pani had tied her kneeling, and bent tightly over.	10
36	598	The Pani had done their work well.	10
36	603	"I cannot read Pani script," I said.	10
37	227	The first thing I would have done was discard the long, heavy, opaque Pani tunic, which seemed quite inappropriate for a slave, at least in good weather, given what a slave was.	10
37	254	"Yes, Master," she said, frightened, and hastened to pull away, over her head, the Pani tunic.	10
37	258	With a movement of his foot, he brushed the Pani tunic to the side.	10
37	403	Against one wall there was a coffle of stripped, kneeling slaves who, I supposed, had been brought in by a dealer, for the inspection of the Pani.	10
37	405	The girls were in neck coffle, and had been placed in the position of pleasure slaves, which seemed to be the sort of slaves in which the Pani, for their various purposes, were interested.	10
37	413	I noted blood on her leg, which suggested that, however unlikely it seemed, the Pani had actually kept her white silk.	10
37	415	I noted that she was no longer confined in the sirik, and its coils lay to one side, near the cast-aside Pani tunic.	10
37	430	"Not the Pani tunic," I said.	10
37	514	She was now tunicked, but not in the lengthy tunic of the Pani, but now, rather, in the tunic which had been brought in earlier by Captain Nakamura, that within the folds of which had been the coils of the sirik.	10
37	545	"Gather up the sirik, and I will discard the Pani tunic, wretched garment, in the garbage, as we leave".	10
37	552	I suddenly recalled some puzzles I had had, pertaining to that distressing garment, its thickness, its opacity, its length, long and heavy, even for a Pani tunic, a smile on the face of Captain Nakamura, and a smile on the features of the slave, the sound it had made when it was brushed across the f...	10
37	574	Alcinoë fetched the Pani tunic, knelt before her master, spread the tunic before her, lifted it in two hands, and then, her head down, between her extended arms, proffered it to her master.	10
37	710	Too, I had little doubt there would be a sufficient number of Pani about, as well, some to assure the safe conduct of their goods, gains, and such, back to the ship, and others outside, to guard the warehouse, and the abundant stores still within.	10
37	729	I did see a pair of guardsmen at the land end of the wharf, and a number of Pani were taking up stations near the now-closed warehouse.	10
37	1521	"There is interest in many of these things," I said, "in Tersites, the great ship, in Talena, of Ar, in Tarl Cabot, the Pani, the World's End, and such.	10

14	311	"Some," I said, "are with the Pani, Pani women".	10
6	106	This had to do with those spoken of as the Pani.	10
6	128	Agents of Pani, for example, had purchased several of the girls in the recent sale I had witnessed, including the one whom I had found of some negligible interest, whom I had originally seen in a large emporium on another world.	10
6	143	How pleased they are then to be brought into the light, and the keeping of masters! As I have mentioned, the agents of the Pani were recruiting.	10
6	145	For better or for worse, the agents of the Pani had not set up hiring tables, but conducted matters discreetly, if not secretly They made inquiries, as they could, and seemed to scout men.	10
6	233	"The Pani," he said, "yes".	10
8	46	What lay in the north? Who were the mysterious Pani? Their agents seemed well supplied with gold, gold at a time when even copper would go far.	10
9	261	The Pani, who are your employers, are generous with such meaningless baubles".	10
10	34	"It is a Pani banner," he said.	10
10	130	Two men, Pani, in their short, unusual robes, white, with red sashes, each with two swords thrust within the silk, one with the strange banner, waited for us by the trees.	10
10	131	"Where are we going?" I asked one of the Pani, he who did not carry the banner.	10
11	41	The Pani are fond of rice.	10
13	1	The Pani seldom touch us, for we are inferior.	10
14	53	Lord Okimoto was a lord, or daimyo, of the Pani, whose headquarters were at Shipcamp.	10
14	56	He was usually accompanied by Pani warriors, in their short robes, with the two swords, their hair pulled back and knotted behind the head.	10
14	59	There seemed to be formalities involved here with which I was unfamiliar, and even amongst the Pani themselves.	10
14	64	Beyond the training area, Pani guards regulated traffic on the east road.	10
14	199	Some had attacked Pani warriors, and had fared badly.	10
14	203	Some days ago there had been a failed attempt on the life of Lord Nishida, which attempt had been shortly followed by a presumably coordinated, large-scale attack on the camp, one beaten away, on the ground, by Pani and mercenaries, and in the air, by Lord Nishida's tarn cavalry, commanded by the ta...	10
14	205	His relationship to the Pani seemed obscure.	10
14	233	"The Pani will attend to that," he said, "and the beasts".	10
14	293	Pani notice such things".	10
14	294	"Apparently not only Pani," I said.	10
14	327	"Too," I said, "they are clearly Pani".	10
14	501	"From whence are the Pani?" I asked.	10
14	521	I am sure that the Pani suspect little of what is going on.	10
15	399	There were no free women in Shipcamp, unless they might be of the Pani.	10
15	502	I had been purchased, as had many others, by agents of the Pani.	10
16	2	The smaller cohorts of Pani accompanied us.	10

16	153	I was confident it would not be shared with Tyrtaios, as he apparently stood high with the Pani.	10
18	32	"Yes," I said, "to agents of the Pani, who were stocking slaves for the camps".	10

6	137	What Pani, at least of noble birth and refinement, would burn a well-wrought fan, a samisen, a lovely painted screen, or a poem? "Is it true," asked Lord Nishida, "that you ask Pani warriors, many of whom are men of two swords, to surrender?" "Surely not, Lord," said Tyrtaios, hastily.	10
11	43	Beyond this, I had gleaned that many Pani did this a bit differently, tending to regard anyone who was not Pani as a barbarian, whatever might have been his native language.	10
13	457	What gave me pause in the matter, or at least uneasiness, were the references to such a beast by so unlikely an informant as Tyrtaios, who was not Pani, and would not have been likely to be acquainted with Pani lore.	10
17	16	It might be mentioned in passing that I had seen Pani archers with shorter bows, but the longer bow seemed more common, at least amongst the Pani with whom I was most familiar.	10
