Detecting Incoming Teleportations

[Quintain]

Does anyone know of any method for giving prior warning when an incoming teleport is about to happen so that you can take prepared actions?

Alarm?

[Quintain]

That would trigger when someone reached the area...which at this point, is too late.

I'm talking a round of warning or perhaps a spell/ability that can deliberately delay the resolution of the teleport until actions can be taken.

Considering a teleport finishes in the same round you start it (typically), I don't know how that would work short of Foresight or an ability to act in a surprise round.

There's always teleport trap and various methods to block teleports entirely. As a GM I'd let you work an Alarm spell into a Dimensional Lock/Forbiddance/Whatever so you knew if someone attempted to teleport in.

The spell divination:
"Should I prepare for someone to teleport into my presence the next 7 days?

No? We're gravy!

Yes? Crap!

Divination: Should I prepare for someone to teleport into my presence in the next 3 days...

There was a 3rd level spell back in 3.5 (Anticipate Teleportation) that handled this, but I don't know if there's any kind of updated PF option. The greater version (lvl 6) even added a 3-round delay before the teleporting creatures arrived, without them being aware of any time passing.
I used it in a campaign that took us to the Abyss back in the day. My GM was a sad panda.

This is actually perfect.

Nice. A little vague though on the particulars. But can be narrowed down with enough effort.

It's not super specific, but it can give you a week of safety. One should note that nothing will give you knowledge of a mindblanked opponent. All of these will fail, except the abjuration based ones.

Question on teleport trap:

If you have a mage that is teleporting multiple people, do all of them get a save, or do they all relegate to using with wizard's save (and they either are redirected or not depending on his save)?
