Not unused sound tags, and unused quote string. And I HAVE seens the Shade teleport. Doesn't anybody read Mythmaster Central? The film is up there, by The Fallen Knights.
The scripting there obviously isn't the old way or the new way; the Shade will only teleport under extenuating circumstances, but still he DOES teleport, so it's not a complete and voluntary changing of the scripting. It seems most likely to me that the script broke or was left incomplete.

: Mazzarin teleports in.
It could be that, but in the game the first shade usually dies, not teleports, so if you believe the game, then that's what happened. If you believe what the scripting seems to have intended (can anyone read TFL scripting and tell us exactly what it says?), then the first shade was supposed to teleport to where the second one is.
