This is one of the nastiest quest bugs that I've encountered.
When the quest starts, you get a quest marker on Calisto. You also get all the objectives in the quest log, even though Calisto didn't mention the spell yet.
I followed Calisto for a while, then the quest marker disappears. So I thought: Well, I guess we split now. I searched a few ruins, nada. Then I found the right one, but it said that it "needs a key" WTF. I didn't know that it was the right ruin.
So I wondered around for a few in game hours, then I finally found Kim and Calisto just sitting there. He then tells me: Yeah, we need to split, here is the spell. And I get a quest marker on the temple that said "needs a key". So somehow the door has magically unlocked?? Doesn't make much sense.
Anyway, I TCLed my way to the temple, found the portal and stuff, but now it is 4:45 am, and I guess we are supposed to do all the stuff and get out during the night. Is this the case? If so, the only option I have is to use the "set timescale to 0" command, finish my stuff, then switch it back to the default value, right?

Hmm.. Well, I was waiting for Kim, who was a bit behind, and I was a bit far from Calisto. Maybe that's why it didn't happen? I had a similar bug in Fallout 3, where an NPC couldn't make it in time to a cutscene, and the quest wouldn't progress to the next part.
So there is no time limit for the quest? Because initially Calisto said we must go in and out in a night, so I assumed we must do it by dawn then get out.
