The mixture has to be made by the main gnome back at camp who knows how to mix it properly.
This is the teleport spell you are referring to? And he has one ready to go?
Teleport
(Alteration)
Range: Touch Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None
When this spell is used, the wizard instantly transports himself, along with a certain amount of additional weight that is on or being touched by the spellcaster, to a well-known destination. Distance is not a factor, but interplanar travel is not possible by means of a teleport spell. The spellcaster is able to teleport a maximum weight of 250 pounds, plus an additional 150 pounds for each level of experience above the 10th (a 13th-level wizard can teleport up to 700 pounds). If the destination area is very familiar to the wizard (he has a clear mental picture due to previous proximity to and study of the area), it is unlikely that there is any error in arriving, although the caster has no control over his facing upon arrival. Lesser known areas (those seen only magically or from a distance) increase the probability of error. Unfamiliar areas present considerable peril (see table).
Probability of Teleporting:
Destination Is: High On Target Low
Very familiar 01-02 03-99 00
Studied carefully 01-04 05-98 99-00
Seen casually 01-08 09-96 97-00
Viewed once 01-16 17-92 93-00
Never seen 01-32 33-84 85-00
Teleporting high means the wizard arrives 10 feet above the ground for every 1% he is below the lowest "On Target" probability; this could be as high as 320 feet if the destination area was never seen. Any low result means the instant death of the wizard if the area into which he teleports is solid. A wizard cannot teleport to an area of empty space--a substantial surface must be there, whether a wooden floor, a stone floor, natural ground, etc. Areas of strong physical or magical energies may make teleportation more hazardous or even impossible.
Questions: Is it a "well known" destination? I don't think he studied it, so it would bear the dangers of the chart. I would use the "viewed once" or maybe "seen casually" row.
You could keep that in your back pocket in case there are delays that might create risk. However, Geebo was about to tell the group that there are usually boats along the river that may be borrowed or rented...or so he heard...and that would speed things up considerably if they could find one. (This will be again by chance.)
