Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
15 129 A brief exchange followed, like a chain reaction, neither man considering his moves for a moment; First Tarnsman took First Tarnsman, Second Spearman responded by neutralizing First Tarnsman, City neutralized Spearman, Assassin took City, Assassin fell to Second Tarnsman, Tarnsman to Spear Slave, Sp...

3 180 In despair, with my left arm I lifted another spear from the spear-rack, to try once more.
 4
15 164 "And who," I asked, "is the Spear Slave?" "Does it matter?" asked Marlenus, sifting several of the Spear Slaves through his fingers, letting them drop, one by one, to the board.
 4
2 6 There was a tapestry to the right, a well-woven depiction of some hunting scene, I took it, but fancifully done, the spear-carrying hunters mounted on birds of a sort and attacking an ugly animal that reminded me of a boar, except that it appeared to be too large, out of proportion to the hunters.
 4
3 156 * * * * Without warning, with blinding speed, the bronze-headed spear flew toward my breast, the heavy shaft blurred like a comet's tail behind it.
 4
3 160 "He's fast enough," said the man who had cast the spear.
 4
3 168 Indeed, the largest part of my education was to be in arms, mostly training in the spear and sword.
 4
3 169 The spear seemed light to me because of the gravity, and I soon developed a dexterity in casting it with considerable force and accuracy.
 4
3 171 I was also forced to learn to throw the spear with my left hand.
 4
3 179 The Older Tarl seized a spear, and Torm, lifting his robes, hastily departed the training area.
 4
3 192 I also learned the use of the shield, primarily to meet the cast spear obliquely so that it would deflect harmlessly.
 4
3 199 Besides the spear and sword, the crossbow and longbow were permitted, and these latter weapons perhaps tended to redistribute the probabilities of survival somewhat more broadly than the former.
 4
4 144 At his feet lay a helmet, shield, spear, and sword.
 4
4 156 About my shoulder he slung the steel sword, fastened on my left arm the round shield, placed in my right hand the spear, and slowly lowered the helmet on my head.
 4
4 167 Had they been armed, my caste brothers in the last tier would have struck their spear blades on their shields.
 4
5 2 My shield and spear were secured by saddle straps; my sword was slung over my shoulder.
 4
5 157 Before I had time to gather my senses, a dark winged shape had materialized in front of me, and, in the light of the three moons, I saw a warrior on a tarn passing, thrusting out with his spear.
 4
6 33 A spear shattered on the platform near me.
 4
8 95 Neither soldier had carried a spear or shield.
 4
11 118 I remember turning swiftly and seeing for the fraction of a second the butt of a spear crashing toward my face.
 4
12 6 Dimly I felt spear butts thrust against the side of the hollow frame, ready to edge it out into the current.
 4
12 56 The spear butts pressed against the frame, shoving it away from the bank.
 4
12 132 I seized my spear from the saddle sheath and turned.
 4
12 134 As he stalked forward, oblivious of the spear, I hurled the broad-headed weapon deep into his breast.
 4
12 137 He had died the instant the spear had entered his heart.
 4
12 142 With the spear blade I cut into the locked saddle pack.
 4
12 164 And would it not also depend on how deep the bite of freedom had been felt by the bird, how ready he would be to be controlled once more by man? With my spear I could kill him, but that would not rescue me from the ledge.
 4
13 19 Feeling that I had satisfied my curiosity and not wanting to risk a landing in the darkness, where a spear might dart from any shadow, I drew back on the one-strap and prepared to return at last to Ko-ro-ba, whence I had departed several days—an eternity—before.
 4
13 45 Without bothering to think, I seized my spear and, dragging harshly on the four-strap, brought the tarn into a sharp, abrupt descent.
 4
13 47 Rather than risk casting my spear from the safe but unsteady saddle of the tarn, I leaped to the ground, just as the larl, furious that it had been discovered, uttered the paralyzing hunting roar and charged.
 4
13 51 Then, as swiftly as it had come, that nightmarish instant of immobility passed and I set my spear to take the jolt of the larl's attack.
 4
13 53 When, twenty feet away, the great, bounding beast, fangs bared, leaped for its prey, it encountered instead only the slender needle of my spear, set like a stake in the ground, braced by the half-naked body of a warrior of Ko-ro-ba.
 4
13 54 The spearhead disappeared from sight in the furry breast of the larl, and the shaft of the spear began to sink into it as the weight of the animal forced it deeper into its body.
 4
13 56 The spear shaft snapped and the beast fell to the earth, rolling on its back, pawing at the air, uttering piercing, enraged shrieks, trying to bite the toothpick-like object from its body.
 4
15 61 Such lizards are extremely short-tempered, as well as carnivorous, and I had no intention of attracting attention to myself by beating my way through them with a spear butt.
 4
15 133 "I permitted that, in order that I might capture the Spear Slave.
 4
15 135 The Spear Slave gives me the point I need, a small point but decisive".
 4
15 138 Then, with an imperious gesture, Marlenus swept his Ubar into the file opened by the movement of Mintar's capturing Spear Slave.
 4
15 158 "And the Tarnsman is felled by a Spear Slave," I observed.
 4
17 35 He then raised a spear and set it, like the shield, at his feet.
 4
17 38 In surrender, on the other hand, the shield straps and the shaft of the spear are broken, indicating that the vanquished has disarmed himself and places himself at the mercy of the conqueror.
 4
17 99 I loosened my sword in its sheath, set my shield on my arm, and grasped my spear.
 4
18 52 "Perhaps you will retain your humor when you writhe on an impaling spear," I said.
 4
18 62 I noted with repulsion that on the roof of the Cylinder of Justice there shimmered a public impaling spear of polished silver, some fifty feet high, gleaming, looking like a needle in the distance.
 4
19 18 He lowered his helmet onto his head and loosened his shield and spear.
 4
19 27 Once again alone, sick at heart, I loosened my spear and shield in their saddle straps.
 4
19 62 As the burly magistrates hastened forward, I seized my spear and hurled it with such force as I would not have believed possible.
 4
19 63 The spear flashed through the air like a bolt of lightning and struck the oncoming magistrate in the chest, passing through his body and burying itself in the heart of his companion.

Book 2. (49 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 27 The spear was a typical Gorean spear, about seven feet in height, heavy, stout, with a tapering bronze head some eighteen inches in length.
 4
6 195 The first, if necessary would engage me, and the second drive in on my right with his spear.
 4
7 2 The man on the right would not draw his blade but wait until the first warrior had made his attack and would then strike from the side with the spear.
 4
9 148 Soon, pounding the time on the table with the butt of my spear, I was leading a raucous round of songs, mostly wild drinking songs, warrior songs, songs of the encampment and march, but too I taught them songs I had learned in the caravan of Mintar the Merchant, so long ago, when I had first loved T...
 4
14 146 Another spear struck the wood, closer than the first.
 4
24 218 "You are Stam," she said, "first guardsman of the north gate and can cast your spear farther than any man of Tharna.
 4
22 124 For the first time in my life my senses were kindled—for the first time I could feel the movements of clothing on my body, for the first time I noticed how an eye opens and what, truly, is the feel of a hand's touch—and I knew then that I was no more nor less than he or any other livin...
 4
2 20 I noticed, a few feet from me, lying on the grass, a helmet, shield and spear, and a bundle of folded leather.
 4
2 30 Indeed, the Gorean spear is such that many warriors scorn lesser missile weapons, such as the longbow or crossbow, both of which are not uncommonly found on Gor.
 4
2 82 I picked up the massive spear lightly in my right hand.
 4
4 1 The Sleen In the darkness I stumbled on toward the walls of Ko-ro-ba, striking the stones of the road with the butt of my spear, to keep on the road and to drive possible serpents from my path.
 4
4 69 For an instant it seemed to stand like a gigantic crooked spear poised in my path, luminous, uncanny, forbidding, then vanished.
 4
4 74 I raised my eyes to the storm, and my spear and shield, and shouted into the storm, my voice drowned in the turbulence of nature, a defiant puff of wind hurled against the forces that seemed arrayed against me.
 4
4 78 It was a thing I could see, could feel, could fight! With an eagerness and a lust that matched that of the beast itself, I rushed forward in the darkness and when I judged its leap I lunged forward with the broad-headed spear of Gor.
 4
4 81 Another flash of lightning and I saw the sleen on its belly chewing on the shaft of the spear, its wide nocturnal eyes unfocused and glazed.
 4
4 83 My arm had almost rammed itself down the throat of the animal following the spear I had flung into its mouth.
 4
4 88 I tried to extract the spear but this was no easy task, so deeply it was lodged within the animal.
 4
4 108 I stood up, and wiped the spear as well as I could on the fur of the sleen.
 4
5 20 I spun about, shield before me, spear ready.
 4
5 66 I lifted my spear, and felt that I could have slain the robed figure so calm and terrible before me.
 4
5 68 I lowered the spear.
 4
5 109 I placed a large flat rock near the head of the cairn and, with the tip of my spear, scratched this legend on it.
 4
5 123 I resheathed my sword, fastened my helmet over my shoulder, lifted my shield and spear and set out in the direction of the Sardar Mountains.
 4
6 52 I leaned on my spear and waited.
 4
6 197 It was his business to observe the entire field, for I might not be alone, and to cover the retreat of his fellows with his spear should the need arise.
 4
7 3 The warrior in the rear only lifted his spear, ready to cast it should a clean opening present itself.
 4
7 5 I suddenly turned on the warrior on my right with the spear and with the swiftness of the mountain larl sprang at him, evaded his clumsy, startled thrust, and drove my blade between his ribs, jerking it free and turning just in time to meet the sword attack of his companion.
 4
7 12 The other warrior, behind him, his spear poised, had approached to within ten yards.
 4
7 18 But Thorn backed away and signaled to the other warrior to lower his spear.
 4
9 61 "Welcome to Tharna," said a guard, leaning on his spear in the shadows of the gate.
 4
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.
 4
9 119 I seized my spear from the wall and pounded it on the table.
 4
9 130 "Proprietor!" I cried, pounding on the table with my spear.
 4
13 8 At last I no longer felt the spear point in my back.
 4
13 18 Suddenly he was struck from behind, brutally in the back by the butt of a spear, and, with a groan, he sank downwards.
 4
13 19 The spear struck me, too, again and again, in the back and across the shoulders, but I stood, somehow strong in the yoke, like an ox.
 4
14 144 A spear sank into the wood of the platform.
 4
14 148 Another spear struck the wood, creasing my leg.
 4
15 134 "I think the mask alone," I said, "might bring the price of a good shield and spear".
 4
16 102 Better that than to die under the spear of one of the warriors.
 4
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.
 4
23 214 The spear arms drew back, the crossbows leveled.
 4
24 141 I motioned to the others to remain back and, carrying a shield and spear in addition to my sword, approached the rampart.
 4
24 148 About a hundred yards from the rampart I put down the shield and spear, signifying a temporary truce.
 4
24 238 Andreas had brought with him the shield and spear which I had put down in token of truce, and I took these weapons from him.
 4
24 266 He unslung his shield and the long, broad-headed spear from his left shoulder.
 4
25 5 The bronze head of the spear had cut through the brass loops on the shield and pierced the seven hardened concentric layers of bosk hide which formed it.
 4
25 9 My spear had been driven a yard through it and the head had passed over his left shoulder as he crouched behind it.
 4
26 5 I shall strike with my spear upon the gate and the gate will open, and as I enter I will hear the mournful sound of the great hollow bar that hangs by the gate, signifying that another of the Men Below the Mountains, another mortal man, has dared to enter the Sardar.

Book 3. (32 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 91 Normally they do this in single file and he who leads the file is called First Spear, for his will be the first spear cast.
 4
2 102 First Spear is normally the best of the spearmen because if the larl is not slain or seriously wounded with the first strike, the lives of all, and not simply that of Last Spear, stand in considerable jeopardy.
 4
35 177 How could I tell him that he looked, with incredulity and horror, on one of the awesome denizens of the grim Sardar, on one of the fabulous and mysterious monarchs of his very world, on one of the gods of Gor—on a Priest-King? "I can hurl my spear through it," said the man with the spear.
 4
2 89 I was First Spear, for there were no others.
 4
1 68 Most of the contests involve such things as racing, feats of strength, and skill with bow and spear.
 4
2 61 I wrapped my cloak more firmly about myself and using my spear as a staff I forced my way upward.
 4
2 73 Now hearing the growl of such a beast, I threw back my cloak, lifted my shield and held my spear ready.
 4
2 85 I advanced, my spear ready for its cast, my shield ready to be thrown over my body to protect it from the death throes of the thrashing beast should the cast be successful.
 4
2 90 In the Voltai Range bands of hunters, usually from Ar, stalk the larl with the mighty Gorean spear.
 4
2 93 This allows each man to have a clean cast at the beast and provides some protection once the spear is thrown.
 4
2 94 The most significant reason, however, becomes clear when the role of the last man on the file, who is spoken of as Last Spear, is understood.
 4
2 95 Once Last Spear casts his weapon he may not throw himself to the ground.
 4
2 98 Last Spear must remain standing, and if the beast still lives, receive its charge with only his drawn sword.
 4
2 103 Paradoxically perhaps, Last Spear is normally the weakest of the spearmen, the least skilled.
 4
2 114 I wished the cliff were on my left rather than my right in order to have a freer cast of my spear.
 4
2 116 I have never cared to have an enemy above me, nor did I now, but I told myself that my spear might more easily find a vulnerable spot if the larl leapt downwards toward me than if I were above and had only the base of its neck as my best target.
 4
2 120 This ridge can be penetrated by the spear but anything less than a perfect cast will result in the weapon's being deflected through the cheek of the animal, inflicting a cruel but unimportant wound.
 4
2 123 I had but one spear.
 4
2 131 At last I came to the bend in the path and braced myself for the sudden bolt about that corner in which I must cry aloud to startle them and in the same instant cast my spear at the nearest larl and set upon the other with my drawn sword.
 4
2 132 I hesitated for a moment and then the fierce war cry of Ko-ro-ba burst from my lips in the clear, chill air of the Sardar and I threw myself into the open, my spear arm back, my shield high.
 4
3 2 My spear had not left my hand.
 4
4 45 Tapping the floor with the butt of my spear, I finally stood where he had directed.
 4
4 58 My hand clenched on the spear.
 4
4 60 I lifted the spear and my eyes which must have been terrible in the apertures of my helmet were fixed on the heart of the man who sat upon the throne.
 4
4 63 I cried with rage and strode forward to loose my spear but I wept and retained the weapon.
 4
4 72 "Go ahead, if you wish, cast your spear".
 4
7 99 I tensed myself for the leap and cry that would fling me into the open, the sudden interruption in the stillness of the passageway that might be sufficient to impair the steadiness of a spear arm, the calm setting of a crossbow's iron quarrel on its guide.
 4
25 140 I knew that she was faithless, vicious, and treacherous, and because of her glorious beauty a thousand times more dangerous than a foe armed only with the reed of a Gorean spear and the innocence of sword steel.
 4
28 155 "Yes," said one of the Pasturers, who held a pointed goad as though it might be a spear.
 4
35 150 He grasped a spear.
 4
35 174 One of the men drew back his spear arm but I stayed his arm.
 4
35 187 I spoke to the man with the spear.

3 1 The Spear Gambling One, the Tuchuk, I might have slain with a cast of the heavy Gorean war spear; the others would have had free play with their lances.
 4
1 19 Even past me there thundered a lumbering herd of startled, short-trunked kailiauk, a stocky, awkward ruminant of the plains, tawny, wild, heavy, their haunches marked in red and brown bars, their wide heads bristling with a trident of horns; they had not stood and formed their circle, shes and young...
 4
1 66 I hung my helmet over my left shoulder with the sheathed short sword; on my left arm I bore my shield; in my right hand I carried the Gorean war spear.
 4
3 15 I leaned on my spear and yawned, looking away toward the bosk herds.
 4
3 101 I fished the necklace from the dust with the point of my spear and regarded it in the sun.
 4
3 103 "Excellent," I admitted, handing it back to him on the tip of the spear.
 4
4 1 The Outcome of Spear Gambling The Tuchuk warrior lifted the lance in triumph, in the same instant slipping his fist into the retention knot and kicking the roweled heels of his boots into the silken flanks of his mount, the animal springing towards me and the rider in the same movement, as if one wi...
 4
4 3 I had not cast the spear.
 4
4 7 I thrust with the spear, trying to force back the snapping jaws of the screaming animal.
 4
4 16 I grasped the Gorean spear.
 4
4 19 I readied the spear for its cast.
 4
4 20 Warily now the animal began to circle, in an almost human fashion, watching the spear.
 4
4 22 I was later to learn that kaiila are trained to avoid the thrown spear.
 4
4 25 Those who cannot learn it die under the spear.
 4
10 436 In his right hand there was a spear.
 4
16 143 Beside him there rested, lying on the dais, spear, helmet and shield.
 4
18 18 "I have even seen them reach for vines a spear's length above their head and think they could reach them!" Saphrar's two golden teeth, like yellow fangs, showed as he put back his head and howled with pleasure, his fat little hands pounding on the wood of the shield.
 4
21 57 I soon learned, to my irritation, that one could not approach the high compound wall more closely than ten spear lengths.

 4
1 1 Kuurus Kuurus, of the Caste of Assassins, crouched on the crest of the small hill, leaning with both hands on the shaft of his spear, looking down into the shallow valley, waiting.
 4
1 53 Then he picked up his spear, and stood there, against the sky, on the crest of the hill, in the black tunic.
 4
2 57 Kuurus had placed his spear against the wall behind him, and he had taken from his left shoulder his shield, his helmet and the sheathed short sword, which blade he had placed at his right hand on the low table.
 4
19 31 Twice children tripped me; at least twice one of the guards with the butt of his spear did so.
 4
21 317 "How does it feel," he asked, "you who are about to die?" The laugh died in his throat for through his breast there suddenly flew a heavy Gorean arena spear.
 4
22 402 The tarnsman commonly carries, strapped to the saddle, a Gorean spear, a fearsome weapon, but primarily a missile weapon, and one more adapted to infantry.
 4
23 143 "Well," I said, "will it be my steel or the impaling spear of Ar's justice?" "Let it be your steel," he said.

 4
2 45 Instantly there was a great cry from all sides, and, breaking through the rushes and sedge, dozens of rence craft, bound with marsh vine, thrust into view, each poled by one man, with another in the prow, a two- or three-pronged marsh spear uplifted.
 4
3 94 He carried a marsh spear.
 4
3 130 The fellow handed his marsh spear to a companion and turned to the bow.
 4
6 13 I heard what might have been a marsh spear splinter against metal.
 4
6 41 I heard then from another side of the island as well the terrifying cry, "Nets, nets!" Then, as we milled and ran, here and there among us were men of Port Kar, warriors, some with helmet and shield, sword and spear, others with club and knife, others with whips, some with capture loops, some with c...
 4
6 52 A man fell near us, his neck cut half through by the thrust of a spear.
 4
6 133 Then something, probably a club or the butt of a spear, struck the side of my head and I fell to the matting of rence that was the island surface.
 4
6 150 Another man thrust at me with a spear.
 4
6 162 A spear flashed towards me but tangled in the net in which my sword had been enmeshed.
 4
6 164 Before the man who had thrust with the spear had his sword half from its sheath I was on him.
 4
6 214 His spear fell near me, dropping through the rence of the raft.
 4
6 216 It was his own spear that met him.
 4
7 94 I saw, thus, her bending down and taking up of the broken shaft of a marsh spear, about a yard long, its three prongs intact.
 4
7 97 Then, holding the pronged spear before her, crouching down, she threatened me.
 4
7 101 Then as, with a cry of rage, she thrust at me, I took the spear from her grasp, disarming her, tossing it to one side.
 4
8 237 But many had apparently died of wounds inflicted with spear and sword.
 4
16 312 A man stood on a narrow walk, a bundle on his back, tied over a spear.
 4
16 316 I looked once behind, and saw that he had thrown the bundle from his spear, and was following us, afoot.
 4
18 528 I caught sight of the boy, Fish, running past, a spear held over his head in both hands, and heard a horrible cry, long and wailing, ending with the abrupt striking of a body far below on the stones.
 4
18 547 I saw one of my former slaves, with a spear shaft, beating another man from the wall.
 4
18 548 Samos thrust his blade into the Y-shaped opening of a helmet, parried a spear thrust from his body, and met the steel of another man.

 4
7 206 Even I smiled, to see him leaping about, his arms waving, his face first transformed with mock horror and then, at last, after a wild stroke, as though with a spear, transfigured with a mock triumphal ecstasy.
 4
8 14 Suddenly the butt of a spear struck at the canvas where we were looking and we quickly put down the side wall.
 4
8 267 One of the guards stepped between us, with his spear.
 4
8 306 Then there was a jerk at my neck, on the binding fiber, and the guard prodded me ahead with the butt of his spear.
 4
8 431 The guard, with the side of the butt of his spear, pressed against my back, and I was thrust from the room.
 4
8 754 We were different! I recalled how a guard had once given me his spear, and it had been so heavy, I could throw it only a few feet.
 4
8 1098 She carried a light spear.
 4
8 1128 The tall girl, the blond girl, their leader, called Verna, lithe in the skins of forest panthers, in her golden ornaments, with her spear, strode to where Lana lay on the grass, on her side, bound and gagged.
 4
8 1129 With her spear, Verna rolled Lana onto her back.
 4
8 1131 Verna's spear was at her throat.
 4
8 1134 Verna looked at her with contempt, and then drew aside the spear.
 4
8 1148 She put her spear point under my chin and lifted my head.
 4
8 1155 Again I felt the point of Verna's spear under my chin, forcing up my head.
 4
8 1176 She was beautifully figured and she carried herself arrogantly before them, taunting them with her beauty, and spear.
 4
8 1185 If we wished, we would take you into the forests and teach you what it is to be a slave!" As she spoke she jabbed at them with her spear, and a stain of blood was brought through the fabric of more than one tunic.
 4
8 1192 I shook my head, No! Without looking back she then strode, spear in hand, from the camp, toward the dark forests in the distance.
 4
9 9 The tall, blond girl, Verna, beautiful and superb, led the file, her bow and a quiver of arrows now on her back, her spear in hand.
 4
9 137 She slung again about her shoulders her bow and quiver, and took up again her light spear.
 4
9 275 I could imagine her, straight in her skins and golden ornaments, with her spear and weapons, watching me.
 4
9 528 I felt the point of Verna's spear in my back.
 4
9 531 I felt the point of Verna's spear again against my back.
 4
11 1271 The skies remained clear of the thunder and screams of the tarns of Treve, the war cries of her spear-bearing warriors.

12 26 He, drowsy, was leaning on his spear.
 4
12 333 How arrogant and superior she seemed! How I hated her, and hated her! A spear butt struck at the wood of the wagon, near where we peeped out.
 4
12 717 Another would strike the victim in the small of her back with the butt of his spear, felling her, numbing her, for the binding fiber.
 4
13 840 He was met with another war cry, and suddenly, only feet from us, another tarn streaked past, and I heard the forcible, tearing scrape of a broad, bronze spear blade, its blow turned, sliding across the metal-bound, layered, boskhide shield of my captor.
 4
13 844 My captor, standing in his stirrups, flung his own great spear.
 4
13 851 Again the other's spear struck, and again the blow was countered by my captor's shield.
 4
13 852 I again heard the terrible, startling scrape of the spear blade diverted by the seven-layered, metal-bound boskhide shield.
 4
13 855 Again the spear struck, but this time my captor took the point in the shield.
 4
13 859 My captor had wished to rid his enemy of the spear, because of its reach, but, to do so, his own defense was impaired.
 4
13 861 He struck again and the spear shaft, with a scattering of wood, split apart.

 4

 4
6 261 It had taken the better part of the morning, but Rim and I, and Thurnock, had found the blazed tree, blazed with a spear point, several feet high on the trunk.
 4
8 232 Trying to clear my vision, I felt, suddenly, the sharp jab of one spear, and then another.
 4
8 255 Then he was pulled from his feet, and I saw a panther girl, a blond girl, her hair wild, leap toward him, her spear lifted in two hands.
 4
9 30 She carried a light spear.
 4
9 32 With the blade of her spear she turned my head so that I must again face her.
 4
9 38 The blade of her spear made me face her.
 4
9 55 Idly she moved the blade of her spear along the side of my body.
 4
9 64 I again felt the blade of the spear at the side of my waist.
 4
9 366 She carried a spear.
 4
9 439 A spear darted toward me, but did not strike me.
 4
9 446 Then suddenly one would cry out and thrust at me with her spear.
 4
9 447 But the spear was not thrust into my body.
 4
9 453 Then the dance became progressively swifter and wilder, and the feigned blows became more frequent, and then, suddenly, with a wild cry, the swirling throng about me stood for an instant stock still, and then with a cry, each spear thrust down savagely toward my heart.
 4
10 118 In her hand was her light spear.
 4
11 429 She struck Verna in the shoulder with the butt of her spear, that of a free woman.
 4
19 3 His spear, held in two hands, faced me.
 4
20 83 A yellow-clad man of Tyros suddenly thrust at me with a spear.
 4
20 86 The head of the spear stabbed past me.
 4
20 88 He fell from the spear, leaving it in my hand.
 4
20 96 I thrust my sword into the dirt at my feet, and held the spear.
 4
20 128 At the gate two men, frenzied, worked at the spear that fastened their fellow to the beam.
 4
20 132 The two men working at the spear jerked it free of the wood and the body, impaled, was rudely thrown aside.
 4
20 140 I placed my sword in the dirt before the gate and, turning the impaled body about, drew free the great war spear, pulling the shaft through the body, holding the body in place, beneath my foot, to free the shaft.
 4
20 154 Then there was the light of only one torch, for the Gorean war spear had left my hand.
 4
21 3 They did so, in the yellow tunics of Tyros, sullen, ringed by the blades and spear points of my men.

 4
14 161 I hurled the spear.
 4
14 175 I saw Ivar Forkbeard, with a spear, set himself against the charge of an unarmed Kur.
 4
14 176 He set the butt of the spear deep in the earth behind him.
 4
14 177 The spear's shaft gouged a trench six inches deep behind him, and then stopped, and the Kur, biting in the air, eyes like fire, backed away, and fell backward; Ivar leaped away as another ax sought him.
 4
15 183 It has the shape of a spear blade, broad, which has been bent near the tip.
 4
16 71 His tools were not the pen and parchment, but the sword, the bow, the ax and spear.
 4
17 17 I could see the outline of his helmet, the rim of the shield, the spear, dark against darkness.

17 71 It was splinted with a third of a spear shaft.
 4
17 74 He was fiercely bearded, and carried a spear.
 4
17 255 I saw him suddenly thrust his left forearm against the broad blade of his spear.
 4
17 332 The signal spear, in the hand of the frenzied Blue Tooth, its scarlet talmit wrapped at the base of its blade, was lifted.
 4
17 335 The signal spear thrust to the valley.

18 45 With a cry he thrust his spear through the chest of a Kur.

18 95 He thrust out with the tent pole, using the spike at its top like a spear.

18 149 There, already lifted, we saw the signal spear of Svein Blue Tooth.

18 153 No Kur who approached the signal spear did not die.

18 158 The Blue Tooth himself now stood with Rollo, his own hand on the signal spear.

2 272 He carried a spear over his left shoulder, balanced by his left hand; from the spear depended a shield, behind the left shoulder, and a helmet; about his right shoulder was slung a pouch, which I gathered must have contained supplies; a bota of liquid, water I assumed, was fastened at his belt, on t...

 4
2 103 I felt the side of the point of the bearded man's spear under my chin, and I lifted my chin, so that my head was high.

2 127 Then, with the butt of his spear, roughly, to my horror, he thrust apart my knees.
 4
2 199 One of the men spoke to me, and prodded me with the butt of his spear.
 4
2 202 Again I was prodded with the butt of his spear.
 4
2 255 Angrily the bearded man stood up, sheathed the dagger, took up his shield, his spear.
 4
2 257 He balanced his spear in his right hand.
 4
2 283 He held the spear, with its dependent articles, in his left hand now, and raised his right in a cheerful fashion, palm inward, facing the body.
 4
2 291 The newcomer grinned and slipped the spear to the ground, loosening the helmet and shield.
 4
2 293 Carrying the shield on his left arm, carrying the spear lightly in his right hand, the helmet hanging, too, by its straps, from his right hand, the newcomer approached casually.
 4
2 301 One, he who was not bearded, shook his spear.
 4
2 342 The other man had said it to me after I had been beaten, when he had prodded me with the spear, before I had again knelt, though then struck and beaten, before the men, shortly before the dagger had been put to my throat.
 4
2 357 Though he indicated me peremptorily with his spear, it was at the two other men that he looked.
 4
2 394 Perhaps a mistake had been made? Perhaps there had been a misunderstanding? The stranger, crouching in the grass, his shield beside him, the butt of the spear in the grass, the weapon upright, its point against the sky, nodded.
 4
2 398 There, angrily, with the blade of his spear, he traced and dug a circle in the earth.
 4
2 412 He took his spear in his right hand.
 4
2 413 It had a long, heavy shaft, some two inches in width, some seven feet in length; the head of the weapon, including its socket and penetrating rivets, was some twenty inches in length; the killing edges of the blade began about two inches from the bottom of the socket, which reinforced the blade, tap...
 4
2 415 He who was not the bearded man then stepped forward, his shield on his arm, his spear in hand.
 4
2 429 Then, suddenly, the stranger, laughing, lifted his spear and struck its butt into the ground.
 4
2 442 It was the ritual of the spear casting.
 4
2 443 The spear of him who was one of my captors seemed to leap upward and away, caroming from the oblique, lifted surface of the stranger's shield.
 4
2 444 The spear, caroming from the shield, flew more than a hundred feet away, dropping in the grass, where it stood fixed, remote and useless, the butt of its shaft pointing to the sky.
 4
2 445 The stranger's spear had penetrated the shield of he who was one of my captors, and the stranger, bracing the shaft between his arm and body, had lifted his opponent's shield and turned, throwing it and his opponent, who had not the time to slip from the shield straps, to the ground at his feet.
 4
2 474 The bearded man lifted his shield and raised his spear.
 4
2 477 He went to extricate his spear from the penetrated shield of the man with whom, but moments before, he had shared the sport of war.
 4
2 482 In that instant the bearded man, crying out savagely, rushed upon him, his spear raised.
 4
2 484 As my cry of misery escaped my lips the thrust of the bearded man's spear had passed to the left of the stranger's helmet.
 4
2 485 The stranger had not remained at the vicinity of the shield with its penetrating spear, but had abandoned it.
 4
2 487 The bearded man's spear had thrust into the grass.
 4
2 533 He removed his spear from the shield which it had penetrated.
 4
2 538 I knelt within the wide circle, torn by the blade of a spear in the turf.
 4
2 669 He went to the spear thrust in the turf, upright, blade to the sky, and the concave shield at its foot.
 4
2 710 He regarded me for a minute or two, and then, from his shoulder, unslung the shield, and helmet, from his spear.
 4
2 715 Then, carrying the helmet by its straps in his left hand and the spear, lightly, in his right, he turned and began to stride again through the grass.
 4
2 717 Once he turned and, with the spear, indicated the position and distance at which I should follow.
 4
2 947 He lifted his shield and spear.
 4
2 1023 He did not move, but stood, leaning on his spear.
 4
2 1028 Then again he stood near me, leaning on his spear.
 4
2 1048 I tried to take his left leg in my hands, to hold him, but, with the butt of his spear, he thrust me back and away.
 4
2 1077 His spear faced it.
 4
2 1078 It circled us, and the man turned, always, spear ready, facing it.
 4
2 1132 He retained the shield, as he did the spear, the sword.
 4
2 1170 My captor had put aside his shield and spear.
 4
3 46 He approached the camp singing, and striking his spear blade on his shield.
 4
3 55 His shield and spear, and helmet, he handed to another.
 4
3 190 Another man was, slowly and smoothly, sharpening the blade of his spear.
 4
4 980 My master, with a spear and a loop of rope, under the torchlight, the torch held by one of his men, opened a passage in the thorn bush.
 4
4 996 I remained kneeling, shuddering, as he turned from me and reclosed, with the spear and rope, the corridor in the thorn brush.
 4
4 1044 My master had then extricated me from my cruel prison and, with spear and rope, opened a path in the brush, through which I might, did I choose, take flight.
 4
28 287 He carried shield and spear.
 4
28 298 He struck the butt of his great spear on the heavy wood.
 4
28 309 But the point of the spear of Clitus Vitellius lay at his throat.
 4
28 319 Clitus Vitellius stood straight on that great platform, his great, circular shield on his left arm, his mighty spear, seven feet in length, headed in tapering bronze, grasped in his right hand.
 4
28 324 He put aside his shield and spear, to lift me to my feet as his equal.
 4
28 451 He lifted his shield and took up his spear, and then descended the steps of the great block.
 4
29 6 He stood before me, his shield on his left arm, the mighty spear grasped in his right hand.
 4
29 9 He, placing the spear and shield to one side, had moved to her and was tying her hands behind her back.
 4
29 34 The point of the spear, which Clitus Vitellius had now retrieved, was at her throat.
 4
29 35 I then felt the point of the spear in my back.
 4
29 100 He slung his shield upon his back, and tied his spear, too, beneath the shield's edge, upon his back.

2 307 Samos, the ribbon freed from the spear's shaft, the spear retrieved by the guardsman, looked down at the table, at the ribbon, which now seemed only a ribbon, with meaningless marks.
 4
2 105 "Bring your spear," said Samos to a guard.
 4
2 106 A guard, one who stood behind, gave his spear to Samos.
 4
2 110 I was curious, however, to see it wrapped about the shaft of the spear.
 4
2 111 Originally, in its preparation, the message ribbon is wrapped diagonally, neatly, edges touching, about a cylinder, such as the staff of a marshal's office, the shaft of a spear, a previously prepared object, or so on, and then the message is written in lines parallel with the cylinder.
 4
2 297 Samos, thoughtfully, began to unwind the long ribbon, that which the girl had worn, and which formed the scytale, from the spear's shaft.

3 61 More seriously there were now no "Spear Slaves" in common Kaissa, as there once had been, though there were distinctions among "Spearmen".

10 154 Instantly guards were on the fellow, striking him with spear butts and pulling him from the girl.
 4
10 318 But the man had apparently seen the movement of a spear amongst the workers.
 4

44 40 With the butt of the spear I pushed against its snout.
 4
44 45 I pushed against its snout again with the butt of the spear.
 4
44 46 It snapped at the spear.
 4
44 96 I drew back the spear I carried.
 4
44 103 I scrambled about the side of the depression, slipping once, and retrieved the spear.
 4
44 105 It turned again and I, slashing with the spear blade, cut loose a jointed segment of its leg.
 4
44 106 It charged and I thrust the spear blade into its face.
 4
44 118 I went then to the height of the depression, the spear in hand, the fluids of the beast drying upon it.
 4
44 122 I cleaned the shaft and blade of the spear with moist leaves.
 4
44 132 I made as though to hold down to her, that she might grasp it, the shaft of the raider's spear.
 4
44 148 I extended the shaft of the spear to Janice and she, seizing it with one hand, her free hand, was drawn upward, out of the net, to the safety of the jungle floor.
 4
44 242 "You are spear and net hunters," I said.
 4
46 6 Some of the talunas lay upon the ground, tangled in nets, the spear blades of the small men at their throats and bellies.
 4
46 15 "Be silent," said the leader of the little men, jabbing his spear blade below her left shoulder blade.
 4
47 119 He buffeted a man and seized a spear from him.
 4
47 123 Kisu suddenly seized a man and hurled him about, striking him repeatedly with the butt of his spear, beating him as though he might be an animal.
 4
47 126 He drove the butt of the spear into the man's face, breaking his teeth loose.
 4
47 127 Then he thrust the blade of his spear into his belly and threw him on his face beside the wall.
 4
47 128 Again and again Kisu, as though beside himself with rage, drove the spear blade down into the man's legs until the tendons behind the knees were severed.
 4
48 82 Kisu lifted a spear, and shook it.
 4
50 43 I freed a spear, one that we had taken from the raiders so long ago.
 4
50 49 I carried the spear.
 4
51 227 And with them, too, at their head, was an unmistakable figure, black and huge, with shield and spear.
 4
52 24 "No!" cried Kisu, seizing up a spear.
 4
52 81 Kisu and I stood facing him, Kisu with a spear in hand.
 4
52 95 "Let us fight!" called out Kisu, lifting and clutching his raider's spear.
 4
52 107 "My war is not done, while I still have the strength to clutch a spear," said Kisu grimly.
 4
52 132 "Fight!" cried Kisu, shaking the raider's spear.
 4
52 134 "Why do you think I adopted the stabbing spear for my soldiers?" "We have such weapons!" cried Kisu.
 4
52 152 "What then am I to do?" "Put up your spear," I told him.
 4
52 153 With a cry of rage he drove the butt of the spear down on the stone.
 4
52 155 He stood there, the butt of the spear on the stone, the blade over his head.
 4
52 156 He held the spear under the blade, his hands over his head.
 4
53 190 One of the Kurii screamed, a stabbing spear thrust in its chest.
 4
53 192 I saw Kisu, a raider's spear over his head, held in both hands, rush toward a crouching Kur, one just leaped into the courtyard.
 4
53 200 Ayari, small Ayari, joined the askaris there, thrusting with a stabbing spear through the poles.
 4
53 267 He seized up a stabbing spear from a fallen askari and ran to fight.
 4
53 285 A stabbing spear was thrust into the belly of the Kur, and then, stabbing five times more, in the belly and chest, and throat, the interposing figure forced back the bewildered, enraged beast.
 4
53 286 An askari then struck the beast from behind, thrusting his stabbing spear deep into its back, below the left shoulder blade.
 4
53 287 The beast turned to attack its new menace, and he who had been the interposing figure, now behind it, as it had turned, thrust his own stabbing spear deep into its back, as had the askari.
 4
53 323 One askari might fend a committed blow of the panga with the iron blade of his stabbing spear.
 4
53 334 Then, from behind Bila Huruma, there was a wild cry of Ukungu, and a raider's spear, in its length, thrust past the Ubar and buried itself in a red wound in the Kur's heart.
 4
53 363 I saw Turgus drive a stabbing spear into the chest of a maddened Kur.
 4
53 426 Bila Huruma, then, breathing heavily, raised his stabbing spear in his dark and bloody fist.
 4
53 496 I tore the raider's spear from Kisu and extended it to Msaliti who, screaming, grasped it.
 4
56 3 Mwoga, spear in hand, a shield on his arm, came out to greet us.
 4
56 9 "My spear says it is not true," said Kisu.
 4
56 10 "My spear," said Mwoga, "says that it is true".
