Their chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. Their two chief weapons are surprise, fear, and a sharp blade to the face.

having worked in the chemical industry, a certain poison smells of almonds

I know...
its also a rather potently smelling oil and so masks many other hidden sins

loads up with darts and err flits to the other place(sneakily of course)

did any of that make sennce, and were's my promotion???

post 2879darts have feathers/flights - so took the "igh" out and "flits"s'ok I confuse myself as well regular

i aven't actualy killed anyone since i joined the assasin's guild

=sad now

don't worry...
Killing isnt nesassarally all we do
look at it as "police" work
police that perhaps you might not see
or at least may only see once....

The assassins guild traditionally used UK navy ranks
so I hereby promote you to Lieutenant,
Here are some buttons and an over ripe lemon!

I hear that cyanide smelling like almonds is actually a genetic trait. Not common in the population.

cyanide I don't know about,it was arsenic we used (arsenic pentoxide)
http://www.answers.com/topic/arsenic-pentoxide
the firm I was at made weed killer and wood treatments amongst other products

yeah i definately arsenic

we did an experament in biology once where a teacher put some of a poisonous chemical (tiny consentration)on a bit of paper and then we had to see if we could taste it

of course some couldnt apparently its a genetic trate that is slowly being lost,
I was one of the few that could taste the stuff
I cant remember what it was though

apparently, if you take enough small doses of poisons, you can become immune, but I prefer a bacon sandwich

now moves off sign in, some training to do---err whoosh

yes I've herd that
I guess it works somewhat like an inoculation

*shoots target with startleing accuracy*

watch it,
someone's got to clean that up!

*Pulls out a teapot and pours a cup of *
cheers

come now we're assassins not low life criminals for hire!

yer

arsnic isn't that great

if it doesn't kill them, they may never walk again, it damages leg tissue. i watched a show on it, or at least the story of someone being poisoned. it took the hospital ages to actually figure it out. i can never find that show now.

heavy metal poisoning isn't nice. slapping them with fish until they die is much more pleasant.

yes it is rather over done poison wise
there are better things you could kill people with
but sometimes its nice to use the clasics
