@AmaigaDragon:
I suppose it depends on how well organized the assassin has hidden their weapons. I wish I could queue up footage, since it was fun as all heck the first time I saw it on hulu, in the anime bakemonogatori one of the main characters for the first episode has hidden something to the effect of an office supply store on her person... which is ironic because she supposedly only weighs 5kg... and then there is mousse from Ranma who uses Shaolin hidden weapons techniques

There was also a talk show from maybe 10 years ago that showed in real life how impressively a typical teenage boy could smuggle in maybe 22guns on their person without a backpack... granted one of those guns was a shotgun he smuggled down his pants and the exercise sort of lost it's credibility. The footage below is not nearly as impressive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMA2zkodZCk  I probably got flagged by the government for looking up hidden weapons so this video comes at a price I'm sure.

We're also assuming he isn't using some sort of frost magic to create the caltrops or that he didn't prepare them while he was waiting.

Wow, I'm officially a nerd. I'm thinking of one line from the 10th episode, straight out of the first season of Chozen. The minute the assassin was spotted, I immediately hear Troy calling out "Assassin's creed is Bull$#@7!" the very moment he's spotted. Just before kitsu-lucy starts chasing his furry butt. I'm thinking those caltrops would be very effective in the snow.

Art Gallery / I have a request. I want a 'comprehensive' review of my web comic.

I would like someone to actually read my comic in it's entirety before making the review, not 12 pages, not 100, but all 417pages. You can select an individual issue to complain about if you wish to do so. However, if I can point out that I already compensated for that in a later issue, you cannot claim you didn't notice it, or at the very least acknowledge I did something that you liked or was preferable to what you didn't.  

If you think you can take reviewing seriously, and are honest instead of attacking me personally or underhandedly, I won't react violently unless provoked.
  
I need specific __detailed__ information on how I can improve, not an opinion that has no foundation save common knowledge which I clearly don't possess, compare and contrast would be needed. I am not kidding on this, Sonichu has received better reviews, and by better I mean SUBSTANTIAL. The extent of the complaints I receive are that it's ugly, bad, or nonsensical and childish without any real explanation as to how or why other than to down talk the random nature as being common or typical among children or tweens who are inferior in some way to sophisticated morons. That isn't a good enough, or sufficient, explanation for me as I was 18 old when I created the comic and was half way though college by the time I decided to release it.  I know for a fact I am not bellow average creatively or psychologically. I also know I don't lack empathy or cognitive complexity. What I lack is understanding and I'm offering you an opportunity to help me improve __rapidly__.

If you're interested, the comic is available in my favorite arrangement format bellow.  All viewpoints are welcome, but I need specifics. If you are unwilling to explain further than the bridge of your nose don't expect me to gain anything form the exchange.

A different arrangement is available for apple devices and smart phones on smackjeeves mobile...

http://www.smackjeeves.com/mobile.php

I'd provide a direct link but it appears to be down or non responsive at the moment. However, if you want to know what type of music I like to listen too, or what I assume to be limited personal information, feel free to visit my smackjeeves page. I do re-arrange the comic every so often for the purposes of editing experiments, in order to change the overall experience. Pages and posts are infrequently removed and there is a background archive for the first issue and at least one from a random encounter. I choose smackjeeves for experimental things because the user interface for authors is great. I did have to fix the window alignments a few times on their mobile set up because the comics somehow got downsized and it was a pain to fix and re align them all.

She isn't dead, just wounded. That wouldn't be enough to kill her. I'm sure they have more than enough time to use restorative healing magics on her provided the arrow wasn't poisoned and they don't have to worry about a greater volley of arrows raining down on them. A simple shield spell and they can rescue her and make for cover. Even if she were poisoned she would still have more than enough time to say "rosebud" before the clutch of death commands her.

Although, to be fair, the arrow usually makes a *Shoop* sound, and the blood bone barrier makes a *Splork* when critically injured in my estimation. *Thok* implies body armor maybe? I could see a bamboo or silken armor keeping with the theme of japanese 'Throne of Blood' stylized action. The tail doesn't exactly seem limp, although the hair on her head does seem lifeless. I have no complaints about the surprised reaction 'though.

Then again, I've met people who thought a sonic or atmosperic-reentry boom followed up by crash sound when a meteor impacted the earth made no sense... ultimately it's just a matter of opinion so I don't understand what's so annoying about suggesting or discussing it beyond the pale.

It would be funny if Virumiru retired to the valley Julian is holed up in.
