"Well, I bid you happy hunting, gentlemen." She departs."Let me see," says Shem, shuffling up a stool and picking up some of the papers. After about half an hour of looking through the rather dry documents - mostly columns of numbers and abbreviations that mean little to those unintiatied in the dark arts of League accounting - Shem calls the group around and points out his findings."See here," he says. "You can hide a range of things under terms such as 'sundries' and 'service goods' and so on, right? And these shipments here, to East Wind Associates, you know them?" He directs the question to Jantrashan who shakes his head."I handle magical security, not trading," he says."East Wind Associates, I happen to know, is a shell company operated by Kalog the Knife," he looks around at the warriors and shamans in the group. "In other words, our old friends, the Black River Society. Your Zh'man Zh'ai has been selling to the Black River, and I'd bet my soul that red jade was involved in at least some of these transactions. Who better to shift forbidden goods than the world's biggest smuggling chain?" He holds out his hands like a showman, a smug look on his face.</blockquote>
