Fires of Tohr 33

In the Shaughn's palace in Raltor, Darnot frees himself from the thongs with which the Ratorian traitors Timor and Poltar have bound him. Snatching a sword from the wall, the Frenchman engages Timor in a duel to the death.

In the city of Tor in the Great Square before Atayah's palace, Tarzan, Oric and Kyluk, have been bound to stakes, the territory to being publicly whipped. Among the elephants ridden by Atayah's guards, Tarzan recognizes Black Maluk, one he had previously befriended.

At the eight man's call, the elephants toss aside their writers and charge through the closely packed crowd toward Tarzan and his friends. In the excitement one Thai frees O'Rook, who in turn releases the others.

Pursued by Torian warriors, the three friends escape from the square and take refuge in a deserted dwelling where they are later surprised by the yellow men. No, no, no! I hope this way up to the roof.

Take that open casement at the head of the stairs. It's about. Come on fast. The porch runs, runs the length of the building. If we can get out of sight, go on the car. No. Here, Caluch, put your back to the wall.

Up on his shoulders, O'Rourke, you can reach the coping. Oh, beguaddia, I can just make it. You next, Caluch, too high. I cannot reach. On my shoulders. Quick. At the huge ratorium slips out of sight over the edge of the roof, Parsan steps back, springs lightly upward, grasps the coping, and draws himself quickly to the roof as the crowd of pursuing taurions

The crowd of pursuing Toriyans comes pouring out of the casement onto the balcony. Come on, the roof better the building. They'll be up here in another minute. Oh, Bigelaria. And we just got out of sight, in time.
