I'm afraid not, it's miles and miles away. The city you are in is in the south, however, Therin, home of the mind flayer, is in the northern forests, 500 miles away.
OOC: I'm assuming Janelle can use one of the scrolls to take those Latham cannot take with two trips. So only one scroll should be used.
After James' unceremonious exit, Latham watches for an extra second and then shrugs, "I guess we have over-stayed our welcome. Whoever is ready and willing, I can take three of you now. Dehg will wait for my last trip." With that he waits for three people to step forth before completing the quick ritual to Shazool's.
Since we're probably going to be doing a lot of teleporting, maybe we should just say "bamf, we're there, -1 scroll" instead of running through it every time.
You arrive in a dimly lit room. The mind flayer is standing over a kneeling man in the white robes of a priest of the ONE. The man looks terrified. The aberration's tentacles make a sudden movement and extract the man's brain from his head. The brainless man slumps down to the ground, and spurt of fluids exits his cranial cavity.
The mind flayer turns and notices you.
"WELCOME!" booms a voice in your head. "I AM SORRY YOU HAD TO WITNESS THAT, BUT I NEED TO EAT TOO. THE DEEDS OF THIS MAN WOULD TURN YOUR MINDS, SO I EXECUTED HIS DESERVED PUNISHMENT, KILLING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE. I AM GLAD YOU ARE HERE."
Latham stares in awe, "Bad timing, to say the least." He looks at the lifeless body of the priest, crumpled in a pitiful pose at Shazool's feet. He then looks at Caul's prisoner and smiles sinisterly.
He lets off a small laugh, "Thank you for welcoming us here Shazool. We come bearing ill news of the ambush and destruction of one of our bases, as well as seeking advice."
"No apologies required," Arast says smoothly, seeming entirely unaffected by the performance. He might just have well have watched somebody eat a sandwich for all that he shows any emotional response. "It was rude of us to simply drop in like that with no warning."
That piece says he lapses into peaceful silence, content enough to let Latham do the talking since he seems disposed.
