I assume the +16 is from thier fine size. Size doesn't don't give you
a Move Silently bonus. Since the surface you are on can give
penalties, I'd just say give them a circumstance bonus for not being on
a surface. Since very noisy surfaces only give a -5 circumstance
penalty I'd say that's about they best they could get (+5) I suppose
looking at it another way they could get a +10 since there is no
surface. Of course if they have to go through something like a small
space such as a big keyhole, or some bushes or a bead curtain then they
might actually get negatives.

Unless the spell lasts long enough to stay awhile, teleport
specifically says for "studdied carefully" he's spent an hour studdying
it. For seen casually I'd say 20 rounds for taking a 20 on spot,
otherwise you are down to viewed once.
