5 176 I crossed swords with the nearer of the two warriors in a brief passage that could have lasted only an instant.
Details
10
5 178 The other warrior pulled his tarn about as if for another passage at arms, but then, as if suddenly realizing that his duty was to give the alarm, he shouted at me in rage and wheeled his tarn again, streaking for the lights of Ar.
Details
10
6 40 He was in the air, and the passage of arrows sang in my ears, the cries of enraged men, and the long, piercing, terrified scream of a girl.
Details
10
17 18 It was being methodically razed in seven places, to allow for the passage of the siege towers to the second wall.
Details
10
18 90 Then, in frustration, I backed slowly away, hoping to see some lever or perhaps some suspicious crevice higher in the escarpment, something that might play its role in opening the passage I was sure lay hidden somewhere behind that seemingly solid mass of stone.

Book 3. (38 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
3 38 Thus a passage of sorts was cleared between them, but the passage led only, as far as I could see, to a blank wall of stone.
Details
10
3 45 How did I know what might lie before me in that dark, quiet passage? As I hesitated for that moment, I became aware of a motion inside the passage, which gradually became a white-clad rather short, rotund figure.
Details
10
25 53 In the vicinity of the portal itself I remembered, when I had had the Mul-Torch, seeing a ventilation shaft some twenty or thirty yards inside the passage and fixed in the ceiling of the passage some nine feet from the floor.
Details
10
2 43 At places there were well-worn paths, at others even stairs had been cut in the sides of mountains, stairs worn smooth in the millennia by the passage of countless feet.

10
3 1 Parp There was a sudden startled rattle of chains and I saw two huge, white larls frozen in the momentary paralysis of registering my presence, and then with but an instant's fleeting passage both beasts turned upon me and hurled themselves enraged to the lengths of their chains.
Details
10
3 43 I had not long to wait for only a few moments later, perhaps no more than ten Gorean Ihn, a section of stone rolled silently back and upward revealing a rock passage beyond of perhaps some eight feet square.
Details
10
3 46 To my amazement a man stepped from the passage, blinking against the sun.
Details
10
3 71 He had now stepped back into the shadows of the passage.
Details
10
3 74 "My name is Parp," he said, standing back in the passage.
Details
10
3 94 Without waiting to see if I would follow him he turned suddenly and went back down the passage.
Details
10
4 1 The Hall of Priest-Kings As I followed the man who called himself Parp down the stone passage, the portal behind me closed.
Details
10
4 3 My host did not speak but led the way with a merry stride, an almost constant curl of smoke from his little round pipe encircling his bald pate and muttonchop whiskers and drifting back down the passage.
Details
10
4 4 The passage was lit with energy bulbs, of the sort which I had encountered in the tunnel of Marlenus which led beneath the walls of Ar.
Details
10
4 5 There was nothing in the lighting of the passage, or its construction, to suggest that the Priest-Kings' Caste of Builders, if they had one, was any more advanced than that of the men below the mountains.
Details
10
4 6 Too, the passage was devoid of ornament, lacking the mosaics and tapestries with which the beauty-loving Goreans below the mountains are wont to glorify the places of their own habitation.
Details
10
4 9 I noted that the passage which I trod was well worn.
Details
10
4 111 In the far distance, perhaps from some passage leading away from the Hall of Priest-Kings, I heard the roar of a larl.
Details
10
7 97 The safest thing for me would be to continue on as I had been doing, a pattern of action which would give me the benefit of the shield formed by the turn in the passage.
Details
10
7 102 Maddened beyond understanding I began to race down the passageway, retracing my steps to confront what might be in the passage.
Details
10
7 117 Although there was nothing now with me in the passage it had left its trace.
Details
10
10 43 It moved with a certain deliberate, stalking movement; its tread was regal and yet it seemed almost dainty, almost fastidious; it was almost as if the creature did not care to soil itself by contact with the floor of the passage.
Details
10
15 8 A circle of eerie, blue, descending light flickered on the walls of the passage down which I lowered myself.
Details
10
19 94 Sarm pranced backwards on those long, delicate, jointed legs, clearing the passage to the door.
Details
10
21 68 The Priest-King, escorted by Muls, then began to move slowly, step by majestic step, down the passage outside of the chamber.
Details
10
23 50 It was a long, eerie search, in the blue light of the Mul-Torch, thrusting it into one crevice and another, trying one passage and then the next.
Details
10
23 57 A cry of horror from the bottom of my heart broke from my lips in that dark passage and I turned and raced madly back down the path I had come.
Details
10
24 43 I had no notion of the speed of the creature but at this point I turned and began to jog away down the passage, back toward the entrance to the tunnels of the Golden Beetle.
Details
10
24 54 How horrible I thought it would be to be trapped in these tunnels, waiting for the Beetle, able to avoid it perhaps for hours, perhaps days, but not daring to sleep or to stop, not knowing if one were going down a blind passage, if the Beetle were suddenly to confront one at the next turn.
Details
10
24 57 I leaned the Mul-Torch against the side of the passage.

25 2 They had now entered my skin and to my horror I felt a pull against my tissues and knew that the creature was now sucking through those foul tubes, but I was a man, a mammal, and not a Priest-King, and my body fluids were locked within the circulatory system of another form of being, and I thrust ag...
Details
10
25 23 As I prepared to resheath the sword I heard a slight noise in the passage and, in the light of the dying Mul-Torch, without moving, I waited.
Details
10
25 37 I turned and with the girl in my arms began to trace my way slowly down the passage.
Details
10
25 40 When I had entered I had immediately marked my passage with small arrows scratched by the hilt of my sword at eye level on the left side of the passages.
Details
10
25 66 I pulled my hands free and crawled in the darkness to one side of the passage and lay down against the wall.
Details
10
25 70 I crawled to my knees and threw up in the passage.
Details
10
25 85 I had no wish to remain indefinitely in the passage, nor could I bring myself to abandon the girl.
Details
10
28 247 Misk seized me and with the harrowing speed of the Priest-King leaped across the room, buffeting the case I had occupied ten yards across the chamber, bent down and flung up the trap and, carrying me, darted into the passage below.

Details
10
26 143 Guided by the sleen we had no difficulty in following the track of Saphrar through the passage, though often it branched variously.
Details
10
26 144 The passage was on the whole dark, but where it branched there was often set a small, burning tharlarion-oil lamp.
Details
10
26 145 I supposed Saphrar of Turia must have carried lamp or torch, or perhaps that he knew the passage by heart.
