Slasher"That dog belonged to a settler who tried to build his cabin
on the bank of the river a few miles south of the fort,"
grunted Conan. ...  "We took him to the fort and dressed his
wounds, but after he recovered he took to the woods and turned
wild.  -- What now, Slasher, are you hunting the men who
killed your master?" ...  "Let him come," muttered Conan.
"He can smell the devils before we can see them." ...
Slasher cleared the timbers with a bound and leaped into the
bushes.  They were violently shaken and then the dog slunk
back to Balthus' side, his jaws crimson. ...  "He was a man,"
said Conan.  "I drink to his shade, and to the shade of the
dog, who knew no fear."  He quaffed part of the wine, then
emptied the rest upon the floor, with a curious heathen
gesture, and smashed the goblet.  "The heads of ten Picts
shall pay for this, and seven heads for the dog, who was a
better warrior than many a man."

a potionPOTABLE, n.  Suitable for drinking.  Water is said to be
potable; indeed, some declare it our natural beverage,
although even they find it palatable only when suffering
from the recurrent disorder known as thirst, for which it
is a medicine.  Upon nothing has so great and diligent
ingenuity been brought to bear in all ages and in all
countries, except the most uncivilized, as upon the
invention of substitutes for water.  To hold that this
general aversion to that liquid has no basis in the
preservative instinct of the race is to be unscientific --
and without science we are as the snakes and toads.

The koboldThe race of kobolds are reputed to be an artificial creation
of a master wizard (demi-god?).  They are about 3' tall with
a vaguely dog-like face.  They bear a violent dislike of the
Elven race, and will go out of their way to cause trouble
for Elves at any time.
