[QUOTE="Chris_Nightwing, post: 6314061, member: 882"] Depending on how organised they were feeling.. Eladrin could position themselves every 25ft between two cities.. and ready actions to teleport.. then in a single 'round' of action, a messenger could teleport (move), drop a message bag into the hands of the next waiting Eladrin (free), who teleports and repeats, and the message bag is in the next city within a single round. Fun!
