Current objective: Speak with Gunter in the Astrologer's Tower about the portal fragments
Values and uses
Completion and hand-in
First check that this quest is currently in progress. Having the required items or resources alone does not activate its completion dialogue.
Completion actor
Choose the completion dialogue: Piece of a portal
Continue through the following scene
Continue the same conversation with Gunter through the handover line. The portal fragment listed below drops in front of your character. Let the scene return control, then pick it up.
The portal device is also replaced and its work prompt is prepared. The fragment still needs to be used through its subsequent entry; this scene does not insert it automatically. The handover adds 10 reputation with the astrologer.

These follow-ups retain earlier access conditions, other control locks and later completion requirements. This is configuration/script analysis, not a save-based playtest or certification of the entire activation chain.
When interaction becomes available again
Interaction with this character is paused for the scene: Gunter
Continue the current conversation and let this character finish the scripted movement. Interaction is restored after a successful arrival. Regaining control of your own character does not by itself mean the NPC has arrived; earlier access conditions still apply.

These are direct starts in completion scripts. Separate entries can be alternative routes, not a checklist. Event-driven starts and other conditions are listed separately where verified.
Recorded preceding quests
The checks above apply while this quest is active. This page includes the source-checked actions, dialogue steps and transitions shown above. The full earlier activation chain, intervening events, area access and dialogue visibility have not all been verified. Recorded preceding quests provide context; they do not guarantee that an option is available. An explained completion-effect list does not establish a complete walkthrough.
