She is slower than the mirror-faced snake, and for some reason it is choosing to chase her, and she is not in dense enough forest to lose it by going up a tree or between a couple too narrowly spaced for it. So it catches her before emergency services can turn up.
And then she is somewhere else, in a not particularly attractive room next to a person who looks sort of off somehow.
"Excuse me," she says, taking a step out of his personal space.
"I expect she'd be persuadable to come back with them but it might take some finagling. It'd probably be easier if one of you went but teleporting to a site you only scried runs some risk of going wrong and causing damage to the persons teleporting, which is mostly only a moderate inconvenience if you're the sort of person who has Teleport but which might be deadly to a normal person."
"I am indestructible but also have the highest opportunity cost and don't look like her."
"We can send out one round of people, they can come back and pick up a passenger, there's no risk of that the second time teleporting to a location."
