And to know about teleport spell ( that there is one ) needs Arcana 10+spell level.... so not common knowledge..<br/>Just saying. True, the powerful magician as professional help might work, but we have zero knowledge about his/hers good heart'ess ness. (or something) And if h/she actually kidnapped our paladin, WITH spell of that magnitude.. we are in wrong league...<br/>(Thats why i personally hate powerful NPCs in generally, as they can easily out-skill/out-act PCs in their world-shattering-quest... )
