*ArtisticLicenseMedicine: When the slave hunters and their captives enter the outskirts of the Mayan city, they're approached by an emaciated man spouting incoherent gibberish. He's said to have "laughing sickness", which probably refers to Kuru, a neurodegenerative disease spread by cannibalism. Kuru was endemic to Papua New Guinea and was never documented in the Americas.

* AloofArcher: Snake Ink, the most cold and intelligent of the slavers, is an awesome archer.



* ArcherArchetype:
** Snake Ink, the most cold and intelligent of the slavers, is an awesome archer. At one point, he shoots an arrow into the sky and pierces a running man through the head.
** A few seconds later, Zero Wolf makes a harder shot on a zigzagging Jaguar Paw (the previous man was running straight ahead), without even taking the time to draw and aim carefully.
