"It had to be known" the captain replies as he kneels down and wraps the dagger in a cloth.
He presses it into feroz's chest "take it, it is no good to me anymore, youre friend will be fine by tomorro, I have much to prepare" and with that he lets go and walks away in a rush.
A day passes and the ship draws near, eventually they call out and communicate. Then a rowboat brings across a small team lead by a Dwarf. They seem to know much about the passengers on your ship and what has happened.
The dwarf curses the captain and was on the verge of attacking him upon hearing of the disposal of the bodies but restrained himself due to Dorians request.
His crew all proudly armoured in the finest imperial clothing are rude and intrusive and upon orders wich your captain was forced to agree on, tear through the ship searching madly for something and helping themselves to what ever. Word is this is going to go on all day. It becomes slightly obvious they are after a certain ring.
The half giant hasn't been seen since last night.
While the imperials tear through everything Wolter will take the dogs and himself down to the hold with the other animals. He will busy himself with caring for the animals and ensuring that they all are looked after, fed, watered and brushed down. HE will use his ranger senses to ensure that all animals are contempt.
Feroz takes the dagger and places it in a pocket in his outfit. Giving the captain a look of feigned gratefulness, he wonders why he ever agreed to become a wizard, as he mistrusts almost everything magical. Then again it wasn't really a choice considering his natural aptitude for it. His races lives passed by so quickly there was no time allotted for choosing ones path.
Feroz wonders were his giant friend disappeared to and looks around for him. Making sure he is obedient and humble towards the dwarves so as not to raise suspicions or unwanted attention to himself.
Feroz mumbles to himself, "All I wanted was a nice boat ride." Shaking his head while he looks to they sky.
After all this he seeks out Wolter at the bottom of the boat. Having a conversation with him about the recent events.

After the intruders are sure what they are looking for is not on the boat they eventually decide to leave and along with them goes the dwarf who's beard had been cut earlier on. However in his place they choose to leave a mage and a warrior to guard over Dorian as he is on his way to serve the imperial cause.
The warrior is a half giant, and the mage is of average stature and build but highly concealed beneath a large white imperial robe with gold trimmings.
They are none too friendly and the warrior eyes everyone suspiciously.
Almost immediately as the imperials leave on their small rowboat the blink dog begins nudging and tugging on Wolters clothing then sitting and waiting for something
It dosen't lead you anywhere but continues this behaviour, it will bark but ever so softly like a whisper bark. It will then start licking your hands. If you try to walk away thats when it will grab your clothing.
Wolter will get down on his knees and play with the dog and even give it a treat for being such a good dog. HE is happy that the blink dog is a loyal friend and he will sit there with the dog. He will look over at Feroz and ask if he needs anything.
