Your initial post said you wanted to get there Fremen style (presumably you're inspired by riding on a giant sandworm) and that's without getting at your implied meaning that casters get to surprise GMs but presumably martial characters do not. But that just tells me how you want to travel, not that you want to not have to play out the travel at all. And that method of travel suggests its own complications - and pretty amusing and dangerous ones at that considering its probably an entirely new method of travel for the PCs. To say that you did mean the exact same thing as teleport is a pretty substantial shifting of the goal posts. Take a step back here. Isn't that what you've been doing to Celebrim all along here? I'm seeing a lot of the pot calling the kettle black and digging deeper into a position that you probably don't even mean. You keep saying you wanted to opt out of a scene and you would want the DM to make the desert matter if he thinks it should matter, yet you seem to be constantly (at least in this thread) second-guessing or denying any suggestion or hypotheticals making those scenes meaningful whether it's the desert crossing or the hiring of NPCs. Is it any wonder your position gets over simplified? You've already performed the self-caracature.</blockquote>
