Blue regards Shem carefully, but he can see no indication that the little man might be lying but this, perhaps, is no reason to fully trust him.
"Very well," says Jantrashan. "Report back to me here when you know more."
Shem is able to lead the group to the East Wind Associates depot, down by the East Docks, a tall and broad building of plain stone, with large loading doors to the front and a hoist leading up to further doors on the upper floor. A sign hangs out the front, bearing the symbol for the East Wind from the court tiles of the game of dragon scales. A quick scout of the building shows that it stands detached from its neighbours (almost identical structures bearing the symbols of different trading companies) and, apart from the main doors at the front, there are two smaller doors around the rear, and a couple of small windows on the upper floor.
At this time of the evening the building is closed up and there are few people around on this part of the waterfront - most seem to be in the tavern further down. Moored opposite the East Wind depot is a sleek ocean-going galley made from dark wood, a few shadowy figures can be seen performing duties on deck. No other boats are moored near it, as if everyone else were trying to avoid it.
