Wall

Book 1. (34 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
16 116 Within the first wall of black silk, there was a second wall, but this time of iron bars.
Details
10
2 16 There was a savage dignity about it, with the shield and spears, all of them stable on the wall, as if ready, like the famous colonial rifle over the fireplace, for instant use; they were all polished and gleamed dully in the half light.
Details
10
2 49 A panel in the wall slid sideways, and a tall red-haired man, somewhere in his late forties, dressed much as I was, stepped through.
Details
10
2 265 Then silently the door in the wall slid aside, and he strode from the room.
Details
10
3 14 I imagined him with a carpenter's hammer, angrily cracking and banging away at the wall, chipping away the stone that more light might enter his room.
Details
10
4 91 At the same moment the iron bolt of a crossbow, fired through one of the narrow windows, struck the wall behind my chair-stone and ricocheted viciously about the room.
Details
10
4 133 These tiers shared the color of that portion of the wall behind them, the caste colors.
Details
10
5 145 Ar had, for most practical purposes, surrounded itself with an invisible wall, a bleached region, forbidding and almost impassable to those on foot.
Details
10
6 132 From a wall of reeds about fifty paces to the right and thirty feet below, stumbling and screaming, came the bundled figure of a human being, running in horror, its hands flung out before it.
Details
10
10 7 As I stood tensely, ringed by the lances of the caravan guards, the wall of tharlarions parted to allow the approach of Mintar, of the Merchant Caste.
Details
10
11 91 I threw the whip and chain to the wall of the tent.
Details
10
15 10 Some hundreds of yards from the wall, just beyond crossbow range, a gigantic ditch was being dug by thousands of siege slaves and prisoners.
Details
10
15 21 Behind this wall were the innumerable tents of Pa-Kur's horde.
Details
10
15 64 My luck held, and I scaled the interior corral wall and dropped to the trampled path between the corral and the tents of Mintar's men.
Details
10
16 31 Within the hour three others had touched the first wall.
Details
10
16 34 Rope ladders from Ar brought defenders two hundred feet down the wall to the level of the towers.
Details
10
16 37 Within the towers, sweating, naked siege slaves, under the frenzied whips of their overseers, hauled on the great chains that swung the mighty steel rams into the wall and back.
Details
10
16 98 There, on a hillock overlooking the palisades that rimmed the rampart to the ditch, I saw the wall of black silk that surrounded the compound of Pa-Kur.
Details
10
16 119 I walked about the second wall until I came to a gate, where I repeated my story.
Details
10
16 121 Inside the second wall, I was escorted among the tents by a tower slave, a black girl whose livery was golden and who wore large golden earrings that matched a golden collar.
Details
10
17 17 The siege was in its fifty-second day, and the forces of Pa-Kur had breached the first wall.
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
17 19 Moreover, hundreds of light "flying bridges" were being constructed; at the moment of the final assault these would be extended from the first wall to the second, and the men of Pa-Kur would scramble upward toward the looming ramparts of Ar's last defense.
Details
10
17 20 Rumor had it that dozens of tunnels, unimpeded, now extended beneath the second wall and could be opened in a matter of hours at various places in the city.
Details
10
17 39 In a short time Pa-Kur appeared on the first wall, opposite the Supreme Initiate, and performed the same gestures.
Details
10
18 1 In the Central Cylinder As the tarn climbed, I saw the camp of Pa-Kur, the ditches, the double walls of Ar with siege engines like leeches fastened to the inner wall, and, approaching the city, Pa-Kur's long lines of chanting garrison troops, the morning sun flashing on their metal, their march mea...
Details
10
18 17 In a matter of perhaps less than a minute I hovered over the summit of the interior wall near the great gate.
Details
10
18 81 In desperate, frustrated haste, I examined several of them; some were shallow, little more than scooped-out depressions in the wall, but others were more extensive, containing two or three chambers connected by passageways.
Details
10
18 84 He then reached his beak out to an apparently blank wall and withdrew it, repeating this three or four times, and then began to walk back and forth, snapping his wings impatiently.
Details
10
18 86 I began to examine the wall with fierce closeness.
Details
10
18 89 For several minutes I examined the blank wall, sure that it held the secret of Marlenus's entrance into the city.
Details
10
18 98 To my amazement, I saw that an immense opening had appeared in the wall.
Details
10
18 141 At that moment, to his own misfortune, a passing guardsman of Ar discovered the opened door that had mysteriously appeared in the wall of the first floor of the Central Cylinder.
Details
10
19 210 There was only the sheer wall of the cylinder, broken once by a tarn perch some twenty feet below.

Book 2. (60 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
14 27 No sooner had I reached the center than one of the sections of the wall rolled back, revealing a portal almost as high as the wall and perhaps thirty feet in width.
Details
10
23 186 No sooner had we reached the spiraling stone stairwell which led down from the wall than the six spears, their points describing a circle of perhaps a yard in diameter, struck the wall over our head with a splintering of rock.
Details
10
24 136 Once more I noted that the walls bordering the avenue rose as the avenue narrowed, but this time, long before we neared the small iron door, we saw a double rampart thrown across the avenue, the second wall topping the first and allowing missiles to be rained down on those who might storm the first ...
Details
10
1 103 Then without warning, with a bitter laugh, at once a lament and a cry of rage, he hurled the glass violently to the wall.
Details
10
3 5 The road, like most Gorean roads, was built like a wall in the earth and was intended to last a hundred generations.
Details
10
4 55 Why were the lanterns not hung on the lofty bridges? Why were the lamps of a hundred colors and flames not lit in the compartments of the city, telling in the lamp codes of Gor of talk, of drinking, of love? Why were the huge beacons on the wall not burning, not summoning Ko-ro-ba's far-roving tarns...
Details
10
6 100 There is a slave whip on the wall.
Details
10
9 64 * * * * In wandering through the streets, I came at last to a squat portal in the wall of a cylinder.
Details
10
9 106 I leaned my shield and spear against the wall, set the helmet beside the table, unslung the sword belt, laying the weapon across the table before me, and prepared to wait.
Details
10
9 119 I seized my spear from the wall and pounded it on the table.
Details
10
10 29 On each side of the avenue was a gradually ascending brick wall, and as we trudged upward the walls on each side became higher and the avenue more narrow.
Details
10
10 90 By one wall there was a large bowl of burning coals, from which protruded the handles of several irons.
Details
10
12 3 When I was unhooded, my yoke had been chained to the wall of a dungeon.
Details
10
12 4 The place was lit by a small, foul tharlarion-oil lamp set in the wall near the ceiling.
Details
10
12 21 I turned, the momentum of the yoke almost carrying me into the wall.
Details
10
12 152 He stumbled through the entire room before he struck the wall with the yoke.
Details
10
12 153 He managed to turn the yoke and slide down the wall to a seated position.
Details
10
13 36 I looked above the wall and saw, vested in her robes of gold, regal on a golden throne, she who alone might wear a golden mask, she who was First in Tharna—Lara, the Tatrix herself.
Details
10
13 54 The race would begin and end before the golden wall behind which, in lofty splendor, sat the Tatrix of Tharna.
Details
10
13 56 We painfully dragged the heavy blocks to the golden wall.
Details
10
13 58 As we stood before the wall I heard the laughter of the Tatrix, and my vision blackened with rage.
Details
10
13 67 Savagely, our backs breaking, stinging under the frenzied lashing of our driver, cursing the colorful sands of the arena that mounted before the block as we dragged it foot by foot about the course, we managed to come first within the zone of the golden wall.
Details
10
13 132 Painfully, as he writhed, hung in the yoke, I carried him to the golden wall, and hurled him against it.
Details
10
13 134 Kron, still a captive of the yoke, now unconscious, slid down the wall, the weight of the yoke tumbling his inert body sideways in the sand.
Details
10
13 151 "Sleen," cried he, "you have spoiled the Amusements of Tharna!" Two warriors hastily unbolted the horns from the yoke and dragged me to the golden wall.
Details
10
14 19 I walked slowly to the foot of the golden wall, where lay the golden scarf of the Tatrix, that scarf whose fluttering signal had initiated the Amusements.
Details
10
14 90 He did not remove them but only loosened them, and as soon as he had, he and his fellow scurried for the safety of the open section of wall, which then slid noiselessly shut.
Details
10
14 139 Already one or two had leapt over the wall from the stands and were approaching.
Details
10
14 205 On every hand, robes and regalia flying, the silver masks of Tharna which had so insolently screamed but moments before for blood fled now for their lives in panic-stricken rout, trampling one another, scratching and tearing at one another, scrambling over the benches, thrusting one another even ove...
Details
10
15 58 I set her down gently against the far wall of the cliff, as far from the edge as I could.
Details
10
15 60 Standing between the Tatrix and the winged carnivore, I cried "Tabuk!" It began to stalk toward the girl, who rose to her knees, her back pressed against the unyielding wall of the cliff, and screamed.
Details
10
15 115 She ran to the wall, and stood, her back to me.
Details
10
15 120 "What are you going to do with me?" she asked, her face to the wall, not deigning to look upon me.
Details
10
15 170 She had backed away from me, and now her back touched the obdurate granite of the cliff wall.
Details
10
15 176 She crumpled piteously against the wall, weeping.
Details
10
17 30 Before we had been ushered into the cell, outside, in a broad, rectangular chamber, two of the mine attendants had poured a tub of bread and vegetables into the feed trough fixed in the wall, and the slaves had rushed upon it, like animals, screaming, cursing, pushing, jostling, trying to thrust the...
Details
10
17 65 I sat with my back against the damp wall, listening to the sounds of their sleep.
Details
10
18 84 He dropped Ost, and the conspirator crawled to the length of his chain and huddled against the wall, trembling with fear.
Details
10
18 129 "Brace your back against the wall of the shaft," I said.
Details
10
20 14 On the wall there was an empty scabbard.
Details
10
20 19 I decided I could use the scabbard, and took it from the wall.
Details
10
23 3 Beyond the Fair and before the mountains, which rose suddenly from the plains, I could see the timber wall of black logs, sharpened at the top, which separated the Fair from the mountains.
Details
10
23 119 On the wall itself over the gate in huge letters there was scrawled the legend "Sa'ng-Fori," literally "Without Chains," but perhaps better translated simply as "Freedom" or "Liberty".
Details
10
23 125 On the summit of the wall we encountered the crumpled form of a fallen guardsman.
Details
10
23 177 "Look!" cried the girl, pointing down the length of the wall.
Details
10
23 187 Once we reached the bottom of the wall we kept close to its base so as not to afford a target for further spear play.
Details
10
23 188 On the other hand I did not believe the guardsmen would cast their weapons from the wall.
Details
10
23 189 If they missed, or if they did not, it would necessitate descending from the wall to retrieve the weapons.
Details
10
23 190 It was unlikely a small party like that above would freely lose the height of the wall to pursue two rebels.
Details
10
23 207 I slowly drew my sword, and thrust the girl to the side of the street against the wall.
Details
10
23 212 She would probably be slain against the wall by which she stood.
Details
10
24 199 I saw that it was the young warrior whose wound Lara and I had tended on the wall of Tharna.
Details
10
24 214 "How can you be so certain?" asked one of the warriors on the wall.
Details
10
24 224 The men on the wall murmured.
Details
10
24 227 He leaped down from the wall and placed his sword also on the stones at her feet.
Details
10
24 231 Thorn had disappeared from the wall.
Details
10
24 232 Slowly the rebels, waved ahead by me, approached the wall.
Details
10
25 57 I thrust her behind me and, my hand on the wall, climbed the dark stairs as rapidly as I could.
Details
10
26 28 I myself had stood at the foot of the steps to the golden throne when Lara had commanded that the giant mask of gold which hung behind it be pried by spears from the wall and cast to the floor at our feet.
Details
10
26 30 The men of Tharna watched almost in disbelief as the great mask loosened, bolt by bolt, from the wall, leaned forward and at last, dragged down by its own weight, broke loose and plunged clattering down the steps of the throne, breaking into a hundred pieces.

Book 3. (76 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
14 4 It seemed to be bare except that at one end there were several metal disks in the wall and, high in the wall, there was a transparent shield.
Details
10
25 108 I saw one humanoid creature, small with a receding forehead and excessively hairy face and body, bounding about in one case, racing along and leaping with his feet against the wall and then with the momentum established dashing along the next wall of the case and then dropping to the floor to repeat...
Details
10
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 39 Yet I supposed this seemingly impervious wall must house the portal of the Hall of Priest-Kings.
Details
10
5 7 The room in which I lay was large, perhaps forty feet square, and the sleeping platform lay at one end of the room but not touching the wall.
Details
10
5 8 The walls were of plain dark stone with energy bulbs fixed in them; the furnishings seemed to consist mostly of two or three large chests against one wall.
Details
10
5 33 She then moved her hand past a glass disk in the wall and water emerged from a concealed aperture and curved into the shallow bowl.
Details
10
5 34 She rinsed the bowl and refilled it, and then took another towel of soft linen from a carved chest against the wall.
Details
10
5 40 She rinsed the bowl again and set it against the wall to drain dry.
Details
10
5 42 Then with a motion of her hand, which did not touch the wall, she opened a small, circular panel into which she dropped the two towels which I had used.
Details
10
5 87 She ran to the far wall and crouched against it.
Details
10
5 135 Again she turned away, going to the far wall.
Details
10
5 178 "Have you tried shielding yourself?" I asked, looking at the bronze laver which was drying against the wall.
Details
10
5 194 "I came to the Sardar," she laughed, "to conquer the Priest-Kings and rob them of their riches and power!" She ran to the far wall, suddenly breaking into tears.
Details
10
5 284 She fixed on me a look of the most lofty disdain and, standing against the wall, lifting her arms behind the back of her neck, she prepared to replace the fillet.
Details
10
6 4 The temperature of the water which sprang from the wall tap, I learned, was regulated by the direction in which the shadow of a hand fell across a light-sensitive cell above the tap; the amount of water was correlated with the speed with which the hand passed before the sensor.
Details
10
6 16 The meal was completed by a handful of grapes and a draught of water from the wall tap.
Details
10
6 91 I had washed as well as I could, squatting in the stream of water which emerged from the wall.
Details
10
6 92 In one of the chests against the wall I had found, among the garments of various other castes, a warrior's tunic.
Details
10
7 31 The second girl was tall, fragile and willowy, with slender ankles and large, hurt eyes; she had dark, curling hair that fell about her shoulders and stood out against the white of her garment; she may have been of High Caste; without speaking to her it would be hard to tell; even then it might be d...
Details
10
7 78 When I came to a bend in the passageway I rounded it, and then pressed myself against the wall and waited.
Details
10
8 32 No wonder the Priest-Kings hid behind their palisade in the Sardar and let the myths of the Initiates build a wall of human terror about them, no wonder they let their nature and ends be secret, no wonder they took such pains to conceal and obscure their plans and purposes, their devices, their inst...
Details
10
8 38 "But how?" "By their power," said Vika, moving back to the wall.
Details
10
8 96 I smiled as I watched her go to fetch a towel from one of the chests against the wall.
Details
10
8 126 With a graceful movement she rose and went back again to the chests against the wall.
Details
10
8 173 She went to the chest against the wall, to replace the tube of ointment.
Details
10
8 228 She looked again at the sensors, which stared out of the wall like black, gutted metal eyes.
Details
10
8 229 They were burned and still, shattered, and even the wall in their vicinity showed the seared, scarlet stain of their abrupt termination.
Details
10
9 38 She looked away from me, toward the wall.
Details
10
9 78 I looked about the room, at the chests against the wall dim in the reduced light of the energy bulbs, at the walls, at the shattered device in the ceiling, at the broken sensors, at the great, empty portal that led into the passageway beyond.
Details
10
9 84 She rolled away from me and stared at the wall.
Details
10
10 47 The Priest-King halted before what appeared to be a blind wall.
Details
10
10 48 He lifted one foreleg high over his head and touched something high in the wall which I could not see.
Details
10
12 49 He pulled certain of these out from the wall and they seemed to be attached to slender cords which he passed between his antennae.
Details
10
13 94 * * * * We had not walked far when we passed a long, wormlike animal, eyeless, with a small red mouth, that inched its way along the corridor, hugging the angle between the wall and floor.
Details
10
14 8 Two circular metal plates in the wall beneath the shield had slid upward and suddenly long metal arms had telescoped outwards and reached for me.
Details
10
14 13 As I dangled there to my irritation further devices manipulated by the Priest-King emerged from the wall and extended towards me.
Details
10
14 18 I would learn later that practically the entire wall which faced me was such a device, being in effect a very large scent-reinforcer.
Details
10
14 31 Finally the plastic tray neatly slid out from beneath the cage and swiftly disappeared through a low, wide panel in the left wall.
Details
10
14 33 Then the entire cage, on a track of some sort, began to move through an opening which appeared in the right wall.
Details
10
14 91 Indeed, it seemed to me far more luxurious than the appointments in Misk's own chamber, which seemed utterly bare except for the feed trough and numerous compartments, dials, switches and plugs mounted in one wall.
Details
10
14 185 He then went to a compartment in the wall and withdrew a slender black rod.
Details
10
15 13 Here and there a trickle of water traced its dark pattern downward to the floor where it crept along the wall and, continuing its journey, disappeared into one crevice or another.
Details
10
15 15 Looking up I saw Misk, disdaining the rope, bend himself backwards through the aperture in the ceiling and, step by dainty step, walk across the ceiling upside down and then back himself nimbly down the side of the wall.
Details
10
15 25 I thrust the torch I carried into a crevice in the wall and, standing before Misk, I raised my arms over my head, extending them towards him.
Details
10
15 34 I turned the knob and a portion of the wall swung back.
Details
10
18 18 I stiffened on the transportation disk and it nearly ran into the wall of the tunnel.
Details
10
18 19 A startled Mul had leaped back against the wall.
Details
10
20 47 There was, however, no observation screen and no wall disks.
Details
10
20 97 His companion then snapped a switch at the wall panel and the globe seemed to come alive, humming and clicking, coils suddenly glowing and tiny signal lights flashing on and off.
Details
10
20 106 "Is your companion well?" asked the attendant at the wall.
Details
10
20 119 The attendant at the wall panel then pressed a button and the entire apparatus raised on its extension arms to the ceiling.
Details
10
20 136 "Take her away," said the attendant by the wall panel.
Details
10
20 138 As it passed from the chamber, followed by the attendant who had operated the wall panel, I could see the dazed, confused girl, sobbing and in pain, trying to reach the collar through the plastic of the cylinder's top.
Details
10
21 26 By the door I saw a series of short bars which emerged from the wall, which might be used as a ladder.
Details
10
21 35 There I directed them to take cover as well as they could behind some of the conglomerate material which had crumbled from the wall and lay at its base.
Details
10
21 65 At last I saw one Priest-King move from the ceiling and climb backwards down the wall.
Details
10
22 80 Then, clutching me securely, he scampered away across the ceiling and backed down the wall.
Details
10
22 82 I thrust the Mul-Torch which I still carried into a narrow iron receptacle, consisting mainly of two connected rings and a base plate, which was bolted to the wall.
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 69 I do not know if I lost consciousness or not but I suppose I may have, for the next thing I remember was that the pain had gone from my body and that I lay against the wall weak and sick.
Details
10
25 101 I also noted, against the far wall of the brilliantly lit area, tiers and tiers of plastic cases, much like the one I had occupied in Misk's compartment.
Details
10
25 125 She lay on her side against the wall of the shaft, some seven or eight feet back from the grille.
Details
10
26 213 Vika shook her head slowly and numbly looked about herself disbelievingly—at the mat, the jar of water, the canisters along the wall.
Details
10
26 218 I held her for a moment and kissed her and her kiss met mine wet and warm, sweet and hot and salty with the tears that had coursed down her cheeks and then I threw her back and she stumbled across the case and fell to her knees against the wall on the opposite side.
Details
10
28 246 We were considering this matter when suddenly without warning one wall of Misk's compartment seemed suddenly to blur and lift and then silently to vanish into powder, so light and fine that some of it drifted upward to be withdrawn through the ventilator shaft through which used air was drawn from t...
Details
10
28 249 Misk clung to the wall below the trap door, holding me to his thorax.
Details
10
29 22 I passed a group of huddled humans, crouched behind the remains of a wall which had been sheared away about two feet from the floor for a length of a hundred feet.
Details
10
29 24 "My fingers," he cried, "my fingers hurt!" One of the humans by the wall, a girl, knelt by him, holding a cloth, trying to stanch the bleeding.
Details
10
29 27 Vika took the cloth from his wound and, ripping it and using a small steel bar from the sheared wall, quickly fashioned a tourniquet, wrapping it securely about the remains of the man's arm.
Details
10
29 128 I pressed the firing switch of the silver tube and it gave forth with a short, abortive scorching blast and was cold, but the golden body of the Priest-King blackened and, half sliced through, reeled against the wall and fell at my feet.
Details
10
29 155 Once I bumped the craft rather severely into the wall of the complex and I could see the explosion of an energy bulb outside through my makeshift port, but I soon managed to bring the ship down safely.
Details
10
30 121 Sarm then strode to a panel set in one wall.
Details
10
31 155 One wall to the left began to crumble, fitted stone from its sides edging outwards and breaking loose to clatter down the ramps and tumble even to the floor so far beneath.
Details
10
31 172 The bar he wielded was a fearsome weapon and with it he could strike me from the walkway, hurling me perhaps two hundred feet to the opposite wall, before I could get within yards of him.
Details
10
32 89 To one side, high in the domed wall some energy bulbs burst, emitting a cascade of sparks that looped downwards burning themselves out before striking the floor.

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
8 98 I saw him take a slave whip from the wall and approach her, and then turn back and replace it on the wall.
Details
10
11 338 He then got up and walked rather heavily over to one wall of the wagon and took a slave whip from the wall.
Details
10
20 15 Although the wall was several feet from the top of the tree I managed, by springing on one of the curved branches, to build up enough spring pressure to leap to where I could get my fingers over the edge of the wall.
Details
10
20 16 I slipped with one hand and hung there, feet scraping the wall, some fifty feet from the ground, for a nasty moment, but then managed to get both hands on the edge of the wall and hoist myself up.
Details
10
20 75 I struck again and the other rope burst from my stroke and the bridge swung rapidly back against the wall of the building opposite with a clatter of sticks and cries, knocking the remaining, clinging guardsmen from it, dropping them like wood senseless to the foot of the wall.
Details
10
21 272 Then two more people on the wall took up the cry, pointing wildly out over the wall.
Details
10
16 71 The Turian wells, incidentally, have no raised wall, but are, save for a rim of about two inches in height, flat with the level.
Details
10
17 58 It was, like the curving wall of the room, decorated in exotic floral patterns.
Details
10
18 13 I was going to try again when I saw the slave I had noticed earlier watching me, his hands on certain of the levers in the panel on the curving wall.
Details
10
18 73 "Kill him!" I heard Saphrar cry, and there was suddenly the hiss of a crossbow quarrel which streaked past me and shattered on the curving wall behind me.

18 121 I now saw him leap to the wall and, scarcely looking about, run along and then leap to the swaying trunk of one of the flower trees and descend swiftly into the darkness of the gardens.
Details
10
19 36 Besides several of the flower trees there were also some Ka-la-na trees, or the yellow wine trees of Gor; there was one large-trunked, reddish Tur tree, about which curled its assemblage of Tur-Pah, a vinelike tree parasite with curled, scarlet, ovate leaves, rather lovely to look upon; the leaves o...

19 40 Then I became aware of the flickerings and reflections of light from over the wall, against some of the higher buildings about.

19 67 He made his way across some dark blue and yellowish-orange grass and came to the buildings set against one wall of the gardens.
Details
10
19 85 There was no fountain in the room but, against one wall, there were some low tables with fruits and drinks upon them.
Details
10
20 18 I was about to respond when I heard a stifled scream of horror and saw that Harold had hurled Hereena in my direction, across the space between the tree and the wall.
Details
10
20 21 Perched on the wall, holding the girl with one hand to prevent her tumbling off, I watched Harold springing up and down and then he was leaping towards me.
Details
10
20 25 I considered pushing him off the wall, but, thinking of the height, the likelihood of breaking his neck and back and such, and consequently thereby complicating our measures for escape, I dismissed the notion as impractical, however tempting.
Details
10
20 26 "Come along," he said, flinging Hereena across his shoulders like a thigh of bosk meat, and starting along the wall.
Details
10
21 57 I soon learned, to my irritation, that one could not approach the high compound wall more closely than ten spear lengths.
Details
10
21 58 "Get away you!" cried a guard from the wall, with a crossbow.
Details
10
21 62 I found a rather small gate in the wall, heavily barred, and begged admittance to show my wares to Saphrar.
Details
10
21 77 The bolt of a crossbow splattered into a brick wall on my right, gouging a cupful of masonry loose in chips and dust.
Details
10
21 187 In no hurry to depart from the wall, we stood together there.
Details
10
21 189 We stood on the wall near the main gate of Turia, through which I had entered the city some four days ago, the morning after the departure of the Tuchuk wagons for the pastures this side of the Ta-Thassa Mountains, beyond which lay the vast, gleaming Thassa itself.
Details
10
21 216 I looked down from the wall, and to my amusement, though I felt sorry for the distraught driver, saw that the right, rear wheel of the wide, heavy wagon had slipped the axle and that the wagon, obviously heavily loaded, was now tilting crazily, and then the axle struck the dirt, imbedding itself.
Details
10
21 225 Even the guards and townsfolk here and there on the wall seemed now to be watching the stalled wagon below.
Details
10
21 248 "Run!" I kissed her savagely and turned her about and thrust her a dozen feet down the walkway inside the wall.
Details
10
21 252 And Dina of Turia ran down the walkway, along the rim of the high wall of Turia.
Details
10
21 263 Quietly, not wishing to hurry, I descended from the wall and approached the stalled wagon, the open gate, the guards.
Details
10
21 264 Surely in a moment someone on the wall would give the alarm.
Details
10
21 270 At that moment there was a long, wailing cry of horror from the wall above.
Details
10
21 353 The wall of a building off the main avenue collapsed flaming to the street.
Details
10
21 355 Another wall, on the other side of the avenue, tumbled downward, two Turian warriors leaping from it, being ridden down by Tuchuks, leaping over the burning debris on kaiilaback, lance in hand.
Details
10
22 10 Kamchak had taken up quarters in the palace of Phanius Turmus, which, save for the looting and the ripping down of tapestries, the wanton defacing of wall mosaics, was unharmed.
Details
10
22 27 The standing wall about the compound kept the Tuchuk bowmen far enough from the roof of the keep within that tarns might, without too great a danger, enter and leave the compound.
Details
10
22 65 By this time I had followed Harold over to a corner of the courtyard wall, which was heaped high, banked into the corner, with precious metals, plates, cups; bowls of jewels; necklaces and bracelets; boxes of coins and, in heavy, wooden crates, numerous stacked cubes of silver and gold, each stamped...
Details
10
22 68 Further on down the wall there were great piles of cloth, mostly silk; I recognized them as Robes of Concealment.
Details
10
22 73 We now entered yet another courtyard, an inner courtyard, between the palace and the inside wall of the outer courtyard.
Details
10
22 74 Here I saw, along one wall, a long line of Turian women, unclothed, who were kneeling, fastened together in various ways, some by chains, some by thongs.
Details
10
22 76 It was these women whom I had heard outside the wall.
Details
10
23 110 I issued orders swiftly and exhausted men poured from beneath and between the wagons to haul as many of the fallen kaiila and riders as possible from the wagons, that there might not be a wall of dying animals and men giving access to the height of our wagons.
Details
10
25 211 "A wall of some sort," she was saying.
Details
10
25 216 "A wall of heavy planks would be best, I think," she mused.
Details
10
26 4 Kamchak stood in the half darkness, his palms on the wall running about the edge of the roof of the building on which we stood.
Details
10
26 15 I saw Kamchak leaning forward, his palms on the wall about the roof, staring at the compound.
Details
10
26 71 He lifted his hand and one who stood near him climbed to the wall about the roof and blew a long blast on a bosk horn.
Details
10
26 109 Behind me I heard hundreds of ladders and grappling hooks strike against the wall, and, turning, I saw, climbing over the walls, as well as entering through the open gates, hundreds and hundreds of men, until the walls were swarming with Tuchuks, and others of the Wagon Peoples.
Details
10
26 137 As one animal they turned and pulled their keeper by the chain leashes to what appeared to be a solid wall, where they rose on their back two legs and set their other four legs against it, snarling, whimpering, hissing.
Details
10
26 138 "Break through the wall," said Kamchak.

26 140 In a few moments the wall had been shattered, revealing the dark passage beyond.
