Peasant weapon
There must have been two hundred or more peasants, men, children, and women, all shouting, and beating on their kettles and pans. The women and children carried sticks and switches, the men spears, flails, forks and clubs. They were too close together, there were too many of them! A child saw me and he cried out and began to beat more loudly on his pan. Captive of Gor, page 249
Peasants were crowding about. Turning my head to one side, I could see men with spears and flails, in peasant tunics. Women and children, too, in the dusty square crowded about. I heard some clanging of pans. I saw sticks in the hands of some of the children. Captive of Gor, page 253
Many of the peasants, and fishermen, and other poor people, who had not found places in the temple, turned about. Several of them began to follow us, lifting flails and great scythes. Some carried chains, others hoes. Marauders of Gor, page 250
