	4" Round Fieldstone Tower Building Instructions
		Some of the pieces on this mold (such as the arrow slits) are difficult to cast without air bubbles in the pieces.
		Arrow slits are one of the hardest pieces to get a paintbrush into, so I'm not gluing this ring down.
		I found that the ring of arrow slits were just a hair smaller in diameter than the regular tower.

	Topanga Dungeon
		A slew of arrows fell upon Sniktari and Gür, but they were able to shrug them off with ease, as they charged their foes.
		There were also 2 beds, 92 masterwork arrows, 5 leather jacks, 5 short bows, 5 short swords, and 20 gold pieces all-told, between the second barracks room and the bodies of the bandits.
		We took the coins and comb, while Roksha took his fill of masterwork arrows, leaving his own arrows and the rest of the weapons behind, stashed securely beneath one of the beds.

		The aim of this paper is to record the presence of slits on the dorsal surface of telotarsus II, III, IV in larvae, nymphs and adults of Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius, 1787).
		Table, it was seen that the slit would not range in size between tarsus II, III, IV and among stages, even with the great increase of tarsal segment length.
		The slits present on the tibia and femur of spiders legs have an important role in the kinestethic orientation and they are specifically adapted to change the stimulus on cuticle surface deformations into a stimulus carried via sense cells.

		This spell creates a slit, crossletted slit, or similar opening in a floor to command a passageway below, used by defending troops to attack invaders once they have entered a structure.

	Embrasure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A loophole, arrow loop or arrow slit is a similar concept, but passes through a solid wall and was originally for use by archers.
		A distinction was made between vertical and horizontal embrasures or loopholes, depending on the orientation of the slit formed in the outside wall.
		Another variation had both horizontal and vertical slits arranged in the form of a cross, and was called a crosslet loop or an arbalestina since it was principally intended for arbalestiers (crossbowmen).

	Compartmentalization of visual centers in the Drosophila brain requires Slit and Robo proteins -- Tayler et al. 131 ...
		(L) In slit mutants, there are gaps in the photoreceptor innervation of the lamina, correlated with regions of the lamina devoid of glia (asterisk) and uneven innervation in regions containing clumps of glia (arrow).
		Slit protein localizes immediately adjacent to distal cell neurons at the base of the lamina and the optic chiasm.
		Slit protein is expressed in the medulla neuropil (arrow) in the absence of photoreceptor innervation.

	Arrow Slits :: Stronghold Knights :: Ready to serve you!
		The biggest advantage to this is that you archers will now automatically attack and, as shown later in this tutorial, they have a good field of view especially if you place enough arrow slits to allow the field of view to overlap (the spacing we've shown throughout this tutorial is ideal).
		That's right, the arrow slits allow arrows to pass through but units can still walk across the top of them.
		In the design we use throughout this tutorial, you can usually get three archers behind each arrow slit - one directly behind it and the other two are either side.

	HHMI News: New Class of Molecular Cues Guides Nervous System Wiring
		Thanks to the Slit protein, which Goodman and his colleagues in the first of the three Cell articles call the "midline repellent," the developing brain avoids a tangle of catastrophic miswiring.
		While Brose was isolating the mammalian versions of Slit in collaboration with the Goodman laboratory, Wang was attempting to isolate an unknown protein that induced branching of neuronal axons, the cable-like structures that neurons grow to establish contacts with other neurons.
		In the case of Slit, the researchers already have an inroad into understanding how the signal is read by the growth cone because they had previously identified its repulsive receptor, Robo.

		Regions of Slit expression at the midline and in the brain are indicated by yellow bars.

	Building Example: Keep
		The staircase on the south side leads from the ground up into the building to a doorway leading into the second floor, and the rooms flanking the stairs have arrow slits facing the stairway.
		This floor is the residence of the lord of the castle and his family or companions (in this case, Desthius and Lailana).
		The rooms on this floor have full windows rather than arrow slits except those on the north side.

	Arrow slit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An arrow slit (often referred to more formally as an arrow loop) is a thin vertical aperture in a fortification through which an archer can launch arrows largely free from personal danger.
		The thin vertical aperture permits the archer large degrees of freedom to vary the elevation and direction of his bowshot but makes it difficult for attackers to harm the archer since there is only a small target to aim at.

		Indeed, that's what arrow slits in castle walls are all about." (PHB 132) For a ranged attacker: A target anywhere on the other side of an arrow slit, if you are not exactly at (occupying/using) that arrow slit: gets +10 cover to AC.

		"A battleaxe or pick isn't going to get through an arrow slit to the person standing behind it." (p132) [I don't understand that sentence, since the pick is a piercing weapon.] Melee cover is always mutual, and melee cover of +4 or better prevents attacks of opportunity.

		The view through the arrow slits today shows grass and trees, but when Kenilworth was a lived-in active castle, the view would have been of water, because the castle had more than a moat - it was surrounded by a great lake.

		What appears to be an arrow slit in the third photograph is, in fact, a window made to look like an arrow slit, even to the extent of widening it at the bottom to match the slits in the Keep.
