I guess I can understand the attack, after all, you're the only real threat Damian has had in centuries (well, apart from Talana, and from the story, I could assume she had only recently discovered what Damian was doing, and taken up her crusade, when she was attacked by the slayers).
I don't know what all Damian knows about your activities, but I assume he has spies around the land, and I don't suppose you can kill off a hundred Black Ring without him noticing.
It would have been nice for you to at least have a chance during the first battle, after taking the tower, to save some of those on the island (also, one would think that the island herself had means of dealing with the poison gas, or helping those stranded on her - then again, her main concern was with your support, not with any other individuals, considering 4 of the candidates had to die - how much different from Damian does that make Sentinel Island?).
Oh well, it's just a game, and though I agree with wisetaner, with regard to becoming attached to many of the NPCs in Broken Valley and on Sentinel Island, I have to remember that this is war, the stakes are much higher than what you see in the game (anger Damian enough, and the whole planet could become like Broken Valley, if you don't stop him). After all, power-hungry dictators are less concerned about how many they have control over, as they are about the totality of their control - and tend to kill off those who continue to oppose them (and many "innocent" bystanders in the process).
Anyway, I did restore to before I dealt with Sentinel Island, and took the advice of one of the guides I downloaded: explore every nook and cranny. It's surprising what I found, both in Broken Valley and the Orobas Fjords (surprising where I was allowed to go, there).
Now, back to Sentinel Island, the decisions, exploration, and taking of the tower.
