Eggbowl swung his leg over the side of his mechanostrider and dropped to the ground with a grunt. It had been a long journey. It was over a year ago he had discovered the smuggling ring, devoted to bringing in untaxed gems and textiles from Kalimdor. A crew of elves and humans had been operating jointly, and had been using powerful spells of obfuscation over their shenanigans. They combined these with clever strategies to bring the goods straight from Darkshore rural producers straight to Stormwind, bypassing the King's lawful taxation on the way. One such ingenious way was the construction of three special skiffs with foot-thick false bottoms: not enough to notice, but enough to store a dozen rugs or countless rubies.
