I think it's possible that Slayer could have killed Asmo

Obviously Asmo was caught by surprise so just about anyone could have done the deed, but that doesn't explain:
1. Why Slayer overtly talked about killing 2 AS in the Stone and how much pleasure but didn't mention killing one of the Forsaken!
2. How Slayer found him in the first place. The killing seemed purely opportunistic, thus not particularly assassinish.
3. How Asmodean recognized Slayer. Do you think he had a meet and greet with the Forsaken at some point... even if he did it's unlikely that Asmodean or any of the Forsaken would have been particularly impressed with what amounts to a tool in their eyes. Hell Asmo may have even reacted by trying to order him around just like all the others did with Shaidar Haran.
All in all he doesn't jump out to me as an "obvious" choice as RJ seemed to think the killer should be to us.

Perhaps, I still don't buy it, but if that's the way it turns out I won't be shocked

As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear.

Yes; it is not readily apparant that the mark was made with the TP.
