Teleport: Book and Scroll qlvl 14, Staff qlvl 12.

Phase: Book qlvl 7 scroll and staff 6. That for sure you can have bought at Adria by level 4 of the dungeon, as her ilvl = 6 on dlvl's 1-4. Your char Ilvl is, IIRC, not that important in item generation in SP at the stores.

Library book and Skeleton Tome
Book: 20%
Scroll: 80%
 Only scrolls of Apocalypse, Healing, Identify, Infravision, Nova, Mana Shield, Phasing, Teleport, and Town Portal are possible.
 Library books and Skeleton Tomes can only exist in church and catacombs

OK, Teleport should be findable, if ilvl gets up high enough. Trouble is, the Dungeon Level of four, even if doubled for chests, still yields an Ilvl of 8. Good enough for Phase, not for Teleport.

I suppose that you could, in theory, get a qlvl 8 item, so you would not get any Teleport item from the dungeon by dlvl 4.

chest, barrel, pod, urn 2·dlvl or dlvl

Could a boss have it in SP?

unique monster and special monster mlvlitem (There should be a 4 bonus.)

Range of qlvl for spell on staves from unique and special monster: 1 to [(ilvl+4/)2]

 Spells at the start of the list will have a higher probability than those later in the list. The exact cut off depends on the ilvl. This means that there will be two different levels of probabilities for the spells, a higher one for spells at the start of the list and a lower one for spells at the end of the list. At rare occasions all spells will have the same probability.

Phasing is position 8 and teleport position 16, but these are not ILVLS, but it seems that Phase would drop more often anyway due to its position on the list.

Specifically, if you find a book, the range of qlvl for spell on books:

1 to ilvl/2 At dungeon levels 1-4, Teleport is right out, and Phase seems pretty unlikely.
Looks like a Phase scroll or staff is all that is possible in SP by that point.

If you are in dlvl 1 -4 Adria's ilvl = 6 ({re Snotspill, your max could be 4.)

Adria
Range of qlvl for base item: 1 to ilvl
Range of qlvl for spell (staff or book): 1 to ilvl

After scrolling through all of the little boss pack leaders, the highest mlvl for items I could find on any of the SP monsters, the special little bosses, was 7. So, no Teleport from them, but maybe a Phase staff, Book or Scroll. Even if we added a 4 bonus, that still falls one short of the 12 needed for the lowest possible Teleport qlvl requirement.

In short, I conclude that in SP, a first time through player simply cannot get his hands on Teleport, but he could phase his way past Snotspill if the drops went correctly or Adria was feeling generous.

So, to answer the question originally posted: While you can't Teleport past Snotsipll in SP in the normal progression of SP (i.e, starting from the beginning and working down towards Diablo in the SP story), simply because you can't get your hands on Teleport to do it, you can get past him with Phase without having to give Ogden his sign back.

Now, if only Ogden's Sign could be used as a weapon, then you would have to make a decision . . . :)

*thinks he is gonna install Diablo I this next weekend . . . maybe.
