What does Razi need to know about a place before he can teleport there? Alice can see anyone, but if there are no visual cues as to the location nearby she can’t tell where they are (as in Luminosity, in which she is fooled into thinking James is in Florida when he is in fact on a movie set). Does whatever information Alice has on the look of a location suffice for Razi to go there? If not, then a vampire can evade Empire justice for some time simply by staying in a dark room, or being in an undifferentiated forest somewhere. Not long-term, maybe, but enough time to turn a mate and ensure the bond is established.
I don’t have this rigorously described, because Razi himself doesn’t know (that’s why he hasn’t dared try teleport to the moon, because he’s not sure if his Required Secondary Powers will let him go betwixt celestial bodies safely). However, if Alice shares a vision with Razi, he can go to the location it displays even if Alice can’t tell where it is. He won’t know where he is when he gets there, though.
Okay. Addy can take Razi’s power and go with him, and Alice can scope out the area beforehand (has to, in fact) and note if there’s anything too ambushy or powerful there. Thus, single vampires can probably be taken out. It’s a pity all the trackers died, though they’re much less useful in the Empire phase as the vampire population increases because they have to meet everyone. I would be leery of teleporting to random places, were I Razi, but he can just jump out again on no notice if necessary, I guess.

Indeed he can. It takes something pretty heavy-duty to catch Razi in a situation that he can’t hop out of. (This is why Addy could only catch him once—she had to do it with Alec’s power when he wasn’t expecting it. Alec’s power is way too slow to catch Razi if he’s aware of the danger.)
