How did Beringer get caught?

I’m seeing a lot of “they can sense him”, but why wouldn’t beringer do the same?
He easily has one of the most volatile curses (excluding energy based ones like lightning and light), so he definitely could have gotten away, especially in the sky.

sensing

Water isn’t considerably volatile when it’s liquid, let alone gas.

For one not everyone has the ability, but again there’s also the possibility that he really just had to get down after using a lot of energy, or that he just didn’t see the need to stay in the form in what he assumed would’ve been a safe area before getting ambushed.

why didn’t man just camp out ontop of the rift or one of the jaws spires.
what would the order do then?

I swear Beringer was invited.

if he was invited to join the order, why on earth would he even show up?

Plot

I don’t think he was really planning around the order being around to get him, but it is pretty funny to imagine him just hanging out on the spires while the order members just kinda stare up at him unable to really do much lest he fly away to a different spire.
