Well, tough luck for them. Since you're not rigged up to be an 1337 tele-haxor, you're better off just ignoring the babies and either letting some other speed demon fill that role or suggesting the group just walk. It's not worth risking a character death over, SC or HC.

Baal runs in pubbies can be a trial. Moral dilemma: a Maphacker shows up and screams on down to the Throne Room. Do you take the TP or slog through the WSK, solo, while they are harvesting the XP of the Minion Bowl O Grits?
One advantage of slogging on through, unless with a very underpowered variant, is that all the points are yours in WSK, all the drops, your merc levels faster if that is a concern to you, and you do not get screwed by bad tactical decisions in HC. Since I played quite a bit of HC last year, that last consideration was paramount.
Tangential to the original question, true, but the silver lining to being in a Baal Run game "solo" is that you can pick up XP at a decent rate without some of the irritations of some well known downside pubbie issues. I realize that this is a better choice for some builds than for others . . .
Have I ever taken that TP . . . sadly, now and again I have.
For shame!
