[ One day during his captivity, Dorian woke to the sounds of explosions.
Orym was already gone, likely to take care of whatever the situation was. But Dorian had been surprised to find the door locked, since he had a certain degree of freedom at the base. He still had his magic, but he decided to wait for now and see what happened.
What he wasn’t expecting was for the door to suddenly burst open, with Chetney and Fearne standing there. Apparently this had been an attempt to rescue him, as well as try to slow down Orym’s - Predathos’ - operations.
And Dorian had gone with them, at first. Long enough for Bells Hells and the Crown Keepers to regroup, and he was able to pass on more information to them in order to keep Predathos from achieving his goals.
But he then surprised his friends by deciding to go back. It was difficult to explain, but he told them of what he knew about Orym’s condition - how the halfling is still there, but was struggling to keep back the god-eater. He was able to convince them that he was safe, and that this way he could not only still tap in to Predathos’ plans and try to send them more information, but he can also keep an eye on Orym, and try to keep him from slipping away entirely.
They all knew it was a risk. But if there was any way to save Orym, they had to try. So Dorian headed back to the base on his own, and was surprised when he didn’t find any of the Vanguard keeping watch.
Something was wrong… he had to find Orym, quickly. ]
