At the astrolab Options

[larrienne]

Vlad,
My party are at the astrolabe, we have spoken to Larrel re-the possibility of his machine returning us to our own time and he has said he will talk to Geralith. The message then comes up: Journal updated.
*Journey to Ulcaster*
*The second key quest*.
Then nothing, Larrel continues walking around instead of cutscene that was in the previous version. (Hrothgar studying machine, NPC's interjections). He doesn't return after speaking with Geralith.
When approached again, Larrel says *So you have returned...* and then the options:
1. Say farewell and to leave.
2. Ask to be sent to Dorns Deep.
3. Ask to go to Kuldahar.
4. I have some questions about the astrolabe
5. And we will return again.

No. 4. Loops around to Larrel speaking to Geralith again.
Speaking to Geralith once more loops around to speaking with Larrel again,
It appears that without Larrel returning to us after speaking to Geralith, there is no way of returning to our own time via astrolabe.

Heh, no problem Jan, I feel the same way.



Unfortunately, more confusion at the astrolabe...

There is a lot of dialogue following and I'm not going to write it all down (if I could copy/paste my game window I would ), but I do have screenshots available if anyone wants to see them. So here goes:

If you talk with Larrel and then say you want to go to Kuldahar, Hrothgar interjects.

Hrothgar then urges you against possibly using the portal in Kuldahar and then PC picks dialogue about how Hrothgar is suddenly so much an expert on portals.

Eventually Hrothgar says: "Trust my words or not, but if you are determined to leave this place then it would be safer and a far less wastage of time to ask Larrel about his astrolabe."

PC: "I suppose it does make sense to see if the astrolabe can get me home before making the trip to Kuldahar. I will speak with Larrel."

(*You turn your attention back to Larrel*) I have changed my mind Larrel...

Next Hrothgar interjects about how disappointed he is in you about breaking your promise to help him.

PC stands firm in desire to leave.

Hrothgar says he will not leave his people without hope and will stay. Then urges you to take the astrolabe back to your future.

Now at this point most everyone in the party interjects and urges Hrothgar to come along and every dialogue option chosen inevitably results in Hrothgar coming along and staying.

Eventually we get to... Hrothgar: "Then it is decided, I will travel with you through the future and see what there is to see."

(*You turn your attention back to Larrel*) I have changed my mind Larrel... Could you take us to Kuldahar instead?.

Larrel: "As you wish adventurer..."

At no point during this dialogue was there any mention that the PC should go to or want to go to Kuldahar after he changed his mind to go back home via the astrolabe, never-the-less the party is forced to go there by a choice the PC makes illogically...
