Why is that worst case? It was an example of travelling. People
on this list are always talking about what great travellers
we are. What would you consider best case? Something that's more
common in day to day adventuring? Ok, I can do that.. =)

Bard & Wizard are fighting in lower Guk. Bard is bound in
Freeport while Wizard is bound in Innothule right outside
the Guk zone line. Bard & Wizard die. Bard runs through 5
zones, and does so naked with no weapon. Wizard pops up in
Innothule at zone entrance, memorizes spells, casts shield
on himself, has his main weapons ready (spells) and heads
down to his corpse and group. Bard is still running (albeit
faster than the wizard is) and has *maybe* made it to the
Oasis by now.
