17 1 The Yellow Pool of Turia At the edge of the Yellow Pool of Turia Harold and I stood, now freed of the slave bar, but with wrists tied behind our backs.

17 10 Around the edge of the pool there were eight large columns, fashioned and painted as though the trunks of trees, one standing at each of the eight cardinal points of the Gorean compass; from these, stretching often across the pool, were vines, so many that the ceiling could be seen only as a patchwo...

26 348 Saphrar took a step deeper into the pool and the pool permitted this, and he now stood with the fluids level with his chest.
Details
10
26 356 Saphrar screamed in agony and moving beneath the yellow glistening surface of the pool I saw several of the filamentous fibers encircle his legs and begin to draw him deeper into the pool and beneath the surface.
Details
10
26 371 The torch was brought, and the pool seemed to discharge its vapor more rapidly, and the fluids began to churn, and draw away from our edge of the pool.

16 15 "How is it," I asked, "that you managed to escape?" "At night, when cleaning the pools, we would be unchained, in order to protect the chain from dampness and rust—we were then only roped together by the neck—I had not been put on the rope until the age of fourteen, at which time I sup...

16 59 It is one thing to roll about in a public bath or splash about in some pool or stream, but quite another to struggle for pasangs against a current in a tunnel channel with only a few inches between the water and the roof of the tunnel.

16 175 But know, Tarl Cabot, that I am a merchant and understand men and the meaning of gold—I no more object to Ha-Keel dealing with Tuchuks than I would to the fact that water freezes and fire burns—and that no one ever leaves the Yellow Pool of Turia alive".

10
16 176 I did not follow the reference to the Yellow Pool of Turia.

10
17 3 The pool is indoors—in a spacious chamber in the House of Saphrar—with a domed ceiling of some eighty feet in height.
Details
10
17 4 The pool itself, around which there is a marble walkway some seven or eight feet in width, is roughly circular in shape and has a diameter of perhaps sixty or seventy feet.
Details
10
17 11 Some of the vines hung so low that they nearly touched the surface of the pool.
Details
10
17 14 I had been in the room for perhaps three or four minutes before I realized that the steam rose from the pool itself.
Details
10
17 17 I wondered what I was expected to meet in the pool.
Details
10
17 19 I noted that the surface of the pool, shortly after we had entered, began to tremble slightly, and it was then once again calm.
Details
10
17 21 Yet the motion had been odd for it was almost as if the pool had lifted itself, rippled, and then subsided.
Details
10
17 23 "What is the nature of the beast in the pool?" I asked.
Details
10
17 34 Therefore whatever lay in wait in the pool must be truly aquatic, capable of absorbing its oxygen from the water itself.
Details
10
17 41 "Am I to be thrown bound into the pool?" I asked.
Details
10
17 50 I studied the pool.
Details
10
17 53 I then became aware that the steam that rose from the pool did so periodically, rather than continuously.
Details
10
17 54 There seemed to be a rhythm in the rising of the steam from the pool.
Details
10
17 55 I noted, too, that the surface of the pool licking at the marble basin in which it lay trapped seemed to rise slightly and then fall with the discharge of the steam.
Details
10
17 62 I certainly had nothing in mind so ridiculous as to hurl at enemies the one weapon which might mean life or death to me in my struggle in the Yellow Pool of Turia.
Details
10
17 63 I turned about, as well as I could, and examined the pool again.
Details
10
17 68 "Let me be sent first to the pool," said Harold.
Details
10
17 71 Though it might have been my imagination it seemed that the pool's yellow had now become enriched and that the shifting fluid hues that confronted me had achieved new ranges of brilliance.
Details
10
17 77 "If I succeed in slaying or escaping the monster in the pool," I said, casually, "I take it that I am then, of course, free".
Details
10
17 84 I now looked across the surface of the pool.
Details
10
17 88 The pool was now, it seemed, literally coruscating, glistening with a brilliance of hues that was phenomenal, almost like hands lifting and spilling gems in sunlit water.
Details
10
17 91 It was almost as though the pool itself respired.
Details
10
17 92 "Enter the pool," commanded Saphrar.
Details
10
17 94 To my surprise the pool, at least near the edge, was not deep.
Details
10
17 96 I took a few more steps out into the pool.
Details
10
17 98 About a third of the way toward the center I was entered into the pool to my waist.
Details
10
17 101 I noted that the steam, and gas or fumes, no longer rose from the pool.
Details
10
17 107 The yellow of the pool's fluid, though rich, no longer seemed to leap and startle me with its vibrance.
Details
10
17 110 Then, angrily, thinking perhaps the pool was empty, or I had been made fool of, I cried out to Saphrar.
Details
10
17 116 "The pool!" he shouted.
Details
10
17 117 "The pool?" I asked.
Details
10
18 33 My feet and legs felt cold and yet as if they were burning—presumably the acids of the pool were at work.
Details
10
18 34 As nearly as I could determine the pool was thick, rubbery, gelatinous, only in the area near to my body.
Details
10
18 37 But doubtless by then I would have been half digested, much of me little more than a cream of fluids and proteins then mixing with and nourishing the substance of my devourer—the Yellow Pool of Turia.
Details
10
18 38 I pushed now, with all my might, not toward the edge of the marbled basin, but rather toward the deepest part of the pool.
Details
10
18 40 The pool was content that I should enter it more deeply, perhaps it even desired that I do so, that its meal might be even more readily obtained.
Details
10
18 43 Each inch I moved toward the center of the pool my journey became easier.
Details
10
18 50 I reached out and slashed at it with the quiva, cutting it, and it withdrew suddenly, rolling in the fluid, and the pool itself seemed suddenly to churn with steam and light.
Details
10
18 52 Yet somehow I knew now the pool, like all forms of life, had some level of irritability.
Details
10
18 54 I splashed across the center of the pool, literally swimming.
Details
10
18 55 As soon as I had crossed the center I felt the fluids of the pool once again begin to gel and tighten.
Details
10
18 56 By the time I had reached the level of my waist on the opposite side I could, once again, no longer move toward the edge of the pool.
Details
10
18 59 Then I was swimming freely in the yellow fluid at the center of the pool.
Details
10
18 61 Quiva in my teeth I dove toward the deepest part of the Yellow Pool of Turia, where glowed the quickness and substance of the living thing in which I swam.
Details
10
18 62 Almost instantly as I submerged the fluid beneath me began to jell, walling me away from the glowing mass at the bottom of the pool but, hand over hand, pulling at it and thrusting my way, I forced my way deeper and deeper into it.
Details
10
18 70 I now stood on the hardened surface of the Yellow Pool of Turia and saw the fluids of the sides seeping into the mass beneath me and hardening almost instantly.
Details
10
18 78 Then suddenly I heard his agonized cry and saw that beneath me, once again, there glistened the yellow fluids of the pool, moving about him, for the thing—perhaps thermotropic—had again, as rapidly as it had hardened, liquefied and swirled about him, the luminescent spheres and filamen...
Details
10
18 82 I ran over the iron framework until, judging by the distance and curve of the dome, I had reached a point above where Harold and I had waited at the edge of the pool.
Details
10
18 87 Harold, wrists still bound behind his back, hurled himself against two men and, screaming, they pitched backward into the Yellow Pool of Turia.
Details
10
18 97 He fell back from my blade, turned once and fell into the glistening, living liquid of the Yellow Pool of Turia.
Details
10
18 104 Together we ran about the perimeter of the pool until we came to a tangle of vines depending from the ceiling, up which we climbed, broke through the blue substance, and cast wildly about for an avenue of escape.
Details
10
19 61 I then followed Harold along one of the smooth, stone paths leading among the trees, brushing our way through the clusters of blossoms, skirting the edge of the nearer blue pool.
Details
10
24 95 I remembered that night—the long swim against the underground current, the well, our capture, the Yellow Pool of Turia, the Pleasure Gardens, the tarns—and escape.
Details
10
26 157 On the floor below the dais were Saphrar of Turia, frantic, clutching the purple-wrapped object, and the Paravaci, he who still wore the hood of the Clan of Torturers, he who would have been my assassin, he who had been with Saphrar of Turia when I had entered the Yellow Pool of Turia.
Details
10
26 340 We came together to the brink of the Yellow Pool of Turia.
Details
10
26 341 At its marbled edge, hissing and quivering with rage, throwing their heads now and again upward and howling in frustrated fury were the two tawny hunting sleen, their maddened round eyes blazing on the pathetic figure of Saphrar of Turia, blubbering and whimpering, sobbing, reaching out, his fingers...
Details
10
26 342 He struggled to move in the glistening, respiring, sparkling substance of the Yellow Pool, but could not change his place.
Details
10
26 347 Beneath the surface we could see places where his robes had been eaten away and the skin was turning white beneath the surface, the juices of the pool etching their way into his body, taking its protein and nutriment into its own, digesting it.
Details
10
26 366 We stood silently there for a time, until Kamchak saw small, white bones, like bleached driftwood, rocking on the sparkling, now watery surface, being moved bit by bit, almost as if by tides, to the edge of the pool, where I gathered attendants would normally collect and discard them.
Details
10
26 368 He looked down into the sparkling, glistening living fluid of the Yellow Pool of Turia.
Details
10
26 372 The yellows of the pool began to flicker and the filamentous fibers began to writhe, and the spheres of different colors beneath the surface began to turn and oscillate, and dart in one direction and then the other.
Details
10
26 373 Kamchak took the torch and with his right hand, in a long arc, flung it to the center of the pool.
Details
10
26 374 Suddenly like an explosion and conflagration the pool erupted into flames and Kamchak and I and Harold and the others shielded our faces and eyes and withdrew before the fury of the fire.
Details
10
26 375 The pool began to roar and hiss and bubble and scatter parts of itself, flaming, into the air and again to the walls.
Details
10
26 377 The pool then attempted to dessicate itself and retreat into its hardened shell-like condition but the fire within the closing shell burst it apart and open and then it was again like a lake of burning oil, with portions of the shell tossed like flaming chips upon it.
Details
10
26 378 For better than an hour it burned and then the basin of the pool, now black, in places the marble fused and melted, was empty, save for smears of carbon and grease, and some cracked, blackened bones, and some drops of melted gold, what had been left perhaps of the golden drops which Saphrar of Turia...

13 117 The atmosphere of the pool was further charged with the fragrance of Veminium, a kind of bluish wildflower commonly found on the lower slopes of the Thentis range; the walls, the columns, even the bottom of the pool, were decorated with representations of Veminium, and many of the plants themselves ...

9 98 Two other girls, I now saw, were lying by the pool, putting their fingers in the water, making circles in the water.
Details
10
9 119 I looked again through the glass, at the gentle girls, sporting and playing together by the pool.
Details
10
12 164 There was a little wench named Nela, usually in the Pool of Blue Flowers, whom I enjoyed sporting with.
Details
10
12 166 When she was permitted, later in her training, to leave the house more often, I was eager to take her to the races and the baths, though perhaps not to the Pool of Blue Flowers.

13 49 All the girls in the Pool of Blue Flowers cost the same, except novices in training who would go for ten or fifteen copper tarn disks.

13 52 For the fee one was entitled to use the girl as he wished for as long as he wished, his use, of course, limited by the hours of the pool's closing.
Details
10
13 53 The first time I had seen Nela, several days ago, she had been playing in the pool alone, rolling about.
Details
10
13 61 "Look," I said, pointing to the far end of the curving pool, some hundred and fifty yards away, "if I do not catch you before you reach the edge you will have your freedom for the day".
Details
10
13 64 She looked over to the side of the pool where a small man in a tunic of toweling was standing about, a metal box with a slot strapped over his shoulder.
Details
10
13 71 She looked at me and laughed, and then, on her back, began to move gracefully toward the opposite end of the pool.
Details
10
13 77 She was about half of the way to the far edge of the pool when she straightened herself in the water, and looked back at me.
Details
10
13 90 I now sensed her but feet from me, swimming desperately, the pool's edge long yards away.
Details
10
13 100 Then, slowly, in triumph, my hand in the chain, I towed her on her back, she helpless, to the other end of the pool.
Details
10
13 101 In a secluded place, among the planted grasses and ferns, sheltered from view, I had lifted Nela from the pool and placed her on a large piece of orange toweling on the grass, near which I had left my clothes and pouch.
Details
10
13 114 After that we lay side by side for a long time, looking up at the bluish translucent dome of the Pool of Blue Flowers.
Details
10
13 116 The temperature of the Pool of Blue Flowers was cool and pleasing.
Details
10
13 118 Though the pool was marble and the walkways about it, much of the area was planted with grass and ferns and various other flora were in abundance.
Details

13 119 There were many small nooks and glades, here and there, some more than forty yards from the pool, where a man might rest.

13 308 Then it left the water, rushing upward from it, erupting from it, and I saw its full body, shedding water, its neck extended, its jaws open, its forepaws down against its body, streamlining its shape, its hind legs extended, it leaping upward, then yards above the surface of the torn, dark pool, and...

12 88 Perhaps, rather, it was some sort of pool or reservoir.

10
13 57 "We will show her the pool," said the creature.
Details
10
13 287 "Show the slave the pool," said the pit master.
Details
10
13 332 Up leapt another of the beasts and it caught a hem of her ragged robes in its teeth and tore a strip from them, which it bore with it back to the dark pool.
Details
10
13 402 If the latch were sprung now she would plunge perhaps twenty yards before striking the surface of the pool.
Details
10
13 490 Lines of bars emerged from the walls about the pool and, diagonally, descended, fitting into sockets in the retaining wall.
Details
10
13 491 This sealed off the area of the pool.
Details
10
13 501 It must have opened some access between the pool and the walkway, for I heard a scratching and sniffing and then saw, to my horror, on the other side of the bars of the passage gate, reflected in the torchlight, the blazing eyes of one of the large rodentlike creatures.
Details
10
14 51 I think that the very first day on which I had seen the free woman, several days ago, over the pool, had been the same day on which a transformation had begun to be wrought in her.
Details
10
14 53 Specifically, I think it was useful to have had to explicitly, frequently, and humbly address the depth warden as "Sir," which practice apparently, in its present authentic form, began on that day, to know that she was not permitted to attempt to interfere with the latching of the cage, and might th...
Details
10
14 57 Too, as she now used the word "Sir" there could be no hint within it, as there might have been, as I understand it, before the day of her instruction at the pool, of irony or insult.
Details
10
14 212 Might she not then have been terrified? What free woman would dare to appear, as it is said, "slave desirable"? Some days ago she had been removed from the slave cage over the pool and given a cell not far from our quarters.
Details
10
14 230 "You understand," he said, "that we may, if we wish, put you back over the pool, and I assure you that that is not the worst sort of accommodation in the pits".
Details
10
14 280 Who would want to be thrown, for example, to those terrible creatures in the pool? The pit master then turned about, and began to withdraw down the corridor.
Details
10
14 297 A great transformation, it seemed, had come over her since the first time I had seen her, at the pool.
Details
10
15 4 Sometimes an urt, a small rodent, not like the large urts in the pool, scurried past.
Details
10
18 266 "I am sorry that I had you whipped!" That had occurred in my first day in the depths, when she was still the occupant of a dangling slave cage, suspended over a pool to which large aquatic rodents, one variety of urt, had access.
Details
10
24 446 She had been taken from the top of the tower before I had been entered into the concealed shoot which had sped me far below the city, to the net suspended over the pool, that to which the giant urts had access.
Details
10
37 276 "To the urt pool," said the pit master, reluctantly.
Details
10
37 389 The darkness of the walk ringing the urt pool was behind.
Details
10
37 391 That must be the Lady Ilene, whom I had met in the chamber of the commercial praetor, kept now, I knew, pending the arrival of her ransom, in the tiny cage suspended over the urt pool, that cage which had been for some time the residence of the Lady Constanzia, that cage which could be opened at the...
Details
10
37 395 The woman was screaming, from within, over the urt pool.
Details
10
37 404 From within, over the urt pool, we could still hear the screaming of the woman.
Details
10
37 507 This new arrangement, that of five groups, made possible a more diversified deployment of the men, presumably an advantage on the walkway about the urt pool.
Details
10
37 539 "As they did not pass us," said the pit master, "and they are not here, one gathers they have returned to the nest, or the pool.
Details
10
37 542 I could see the railing about the pool.
Details
10
37 578 There were four gates giving access to the walkway, that through which we had entered, and, across the pool, on the other side, three, each leading to a different tunnel.
Details
10
37 580 An urt, on the walkway, at their approach, had scrambled over the railing, and dived into the pool.
Details
10
37 581 Fecha held her torch over the pool.
Details
10
37 586 This was not the urt which had just entered the pool.
Details
10
37 599 I could see the cage, high, to my left, over the pool, with its various chains and ropes, for controlling its location.
Details
10
37 602 The first man and the lieutenant had come to the first gate, reached by going to the right about the pool.
Details
10
37 613 I heard urts in the pool below.
Details
10
37 616 Too, once they had come to the tunnel opening, which was beneath the surface of the pool, reached from the nest, on a higher level, on the other side, they may have seen the light from the lamps and torches on the water.
Details
10
37 618 There were several urts in the pool area, I knew, and, save for their fellow, and what they had had of the man by the gate, they had not eaten for two days.
Details
10
37 625 The first man, with the two slaves, who had gone to the left, was now well ahead of us, and had reached the first of the three opposite gates which was accessible from our side of the pool.
Details
10
37 644 He had not even entered the pool area.
Details
10
37 648 We had heard nothing from her, however, since our entry into the pool area.
Details
10
37 657 We hurried then about the pool, he following.
Details
10
37 672 The other fellow, he with the lieutenant, looked across the pool, to the portal across the way.
Details
10
37 678 There was a sudden, half-strangled cry from across the pool as Herminius, clutching at his throat, legs kicking, seemed, somehow, to fly upward, into the darkness.
Details
10
37 684 The two slaves who had been with him had fled to the right, as one would enter the pool area.
Details
10
37 686 We could see the men hurrying about the pool area, toward the portal.
Details
10
37 708 Suddenly in back of us, and above us, over the pool, we heard a bolt, that of the cage latch, jerked loose.
Details
10
37 709 The cord which went to the latch on the bottom of the cage over the pool went, with the other apparatus, chains and ropes, connected with the control of the cage, from the cage to the wall, over pulleys, and then down to the level of the walkway, where it, like the other devices, was secured.
Details
10
37 714 We spun about and saw the Lady Ilene, her small ankles tied together, her hands tied behind her back, a rope under her arms, swinging over the dark waters of the urt pool.
Details
10
37 723 Urts began to knife instantly toward the vicinity of the pool over which the Lady Ilene was suspended.
Details
10
37 731 It had hurled Herminius from the wall as easily as the pit master might have thrown a joint of meat into the pool.
Details
10
37 743 "Find him! Find him! Fire! Fire!" But suddenly, from a place high on the wall, now feet from where the body of Herminius had been thrown, on one of the ropes which were intended to control the movements of the cage, a dark figure swung over the urt pool.
Details
10
37 748 The figure had alighted on the opposite side of the walkway, before the middle gate of the three gates on that side of the pool.
Details
10
37 759 The water of the pool was scarlet.
Details
10
37 760 The Lady Ilene, out of the cage, tied to it by a rope fastened under her arms, bound hand and foot, gagged, dangled over the urt pool.
Details
10
37 779 Rather, to my horror, he took a quarrel between his teeth and, bow in hand, leapt over the railing, into the urt pool itself.
Details
10
37 781 Almost at the same moment Tensius had come to the place on the walkway from which the peasant had dived into the pool.
Details
10
37 792 "Illuminate the pool!" cried the lieutenant.
Details
10
37 794 The light reflected up from the surface of the pool.
Details
10
37 808 "He must have drowned," called Tensius, from across the pool.
Details
10
37 810 It was, of course, dark in the pool, and the light was uncertain.
Details
10
37 812 "Is there an exit from the pool!" demanded the lieutenant of the pit master, standing behind him, his torch lifted.
Details
10
37 823 "Tensius, Abnik, into the water!" cried the lieutenant, gesticulating to the pool.
Details
10
37 824 They looked across the pool as though their officer might be mad.
Details
10
37 852 He then put his knife between his teeth and, with great care, lowered himself over the railing, and dropped down into the pool.
Details
10
37 857 Tensius and Abnik swam to the edge of the pool, to our right.
Details
10
37 875 "Space the light about the pool," said the lieutenant, with a gesture of his arm.
Details
10
37 876 The slaves spaced themselves then more about the pool.
Details
10
37 877 I remained with Fecha a little to the left of the entrance, as one would enter the area of the pool.
Details
10
37 881 Gito was not in the pool area, but back in the passage.
Details
10
37 887 He continued to survey the flickering surface of the pool.
Details
10
37 890 It had been moved by the weight of the bound, gagged free woman, dangling on the rope over the pool.
Details
10
37 919 "Masters," cried Gito, from back in the passage, "let us go to the surface!" "Go!" said the lieutenant, not taking his eyes from the pool.
Details
10
37 957 But if he had been killed in the nest, why had the urts not fed on him there? When I looked away from the water I saw that the lieutenant's attention was returned, intently, to the pool.
Details
10
37 960 Had the prisoner died in the pool it seemed his body would have surfaced before that of Tensius.
Details
10
37 965 One could not climb from the pool to the walkway without a rope, or some such device, the tunnels to the walkway having been earlier sealed.
Details
10
37 1001 Suddenly from the part of the pool near the entrance to the nest we saw a hand reach up, breaking the surface, and then an arm.
Details
10
37 1015 One of the girls on the other side of the pool, tied by her neck to her cord-mate, screamed, horrified.
Details
10
37 1017 I suddenly realized his attention was not on the pathetic figure in the pool but on the waters behind it and about it.
Details
10
37 1039 "Kill it! Kill it! Save your man!" "Do not be foolish," said the lieutenant, without taking his attention from the pool.
Details
10
37 1065 It moved slowly away, across the pool.
Details
10
37 1069 "Is there a way from the urt nest, other than to the pool and walkway?" asked the officer of Treve.
Details
10
37 1072 "Water must be brought to the pool," said the officer of Treve.
Details
10
37 1106 "Do you think it an inadvertence on the prisoner's part that the one man's body, that of he called Tensius, was returned as it was to the pool?" "Certainly not," said the officer of Treve.
Details
10
37 1166 He looked about himself, and toward the darkness of the pool area.
Details
10
37 1178 Before we left the pool area the pit master, by means of the ropes and chains controlling the cage, brought the helpless Lady Ilene, she dangling on the rope, to the wall, where he lifted her up and put her on her knees, on the walkway.
Details
10
37 1185 The Lady Ilene was then reinserted into the cage, and the cage restored to its place over the pool.
Details
10
37 1192 We then left the pool area.
Details
10
38 9 "He is your friend?" the pit master had asked Gito, in one of the passages, shortly after we had returned from the pool area.
Details
10
39 73 Too, I would suppose certain guards could do so, and, of course, the other pit slaves had seen him, at least twice, once in the cell, once in the vicinity of the urt pool.
