Rushing through Dorn's side quest (SPOILERS)

From what I remember, Dorn's side quest is made up of three encounters: the first one is triggered by travelling to the Nashkel Mines area (provided you talked to him at the Friendly Arm). The second one is in the gibberling-infested area at the southeast corner of the map and is only accessible after Chapter 3 starts (and after talking to the lady standing outside the Nashkel Inn). The last one can only be accessed after Chapter 5 starts and you can finally enter Baldur's Gate.
However, even though the party I'm planning to use for my next game doesn't include Dorn, my PC is going to be a Bard so I'm really greedy for that elven chainmail you get after finishing his quest.
Suppose I just want to do his sidequest quickly without having him in my party for long. Is it possible? Do any of these encounters involve some sort of timed trigger?
My idea was to recruit him only once Chapter 5 starts, power through his encounters without doing any other quests and then dismiss him right after.
Don't judge me - I'm sure I'm not the only one who often recruits Neera only to get my hands at her gem bag and then ditches her seconds later. And that sounded way sleazier than it should have.
