Do not run out of the encounter before Baine does, or you will be doing this all over again, just hang back and wait for him to go through the portal. If you left before he does, drop the quest and get it again.

What to do
Description
I dare not step inside that accursed tower myself, of course. While I cannot tell you exactly where your comrade is being held, I offer a gift to assist you. Use it inside Torghast. It should take you somewhere near your missing ally. Baine Bloodhoof was his name, yes? Either that, or you'll end up trapped within the tower's ever-shifting halls for all eternity. But those are the risks one must take, I suppose. Best of luck!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The bond to your covenant is growing stronger, <name>. Good. The power lies within you to venture into Torghast and rescue our allies. You saw Baine Bloodhoof while assisting the broker in the Maw. Perhaps this Ve'nari knows a way to breach the Jailer's tower and find the chieftain.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Prison of the Forgotten
<As you stare at the object you've found, you sense it may lead you to another part of this wretched tower. Perhaps Ve'nari may know more of its purpose.>
