I think that is still the mystery of the Na Pali and the Nali's.
Tarydium is a powerful mineral and all this life is springing up with a Tarydium based life form. Totally not earthlike. Completely different realm of physics and molecular power. It looks earthlike on Na Pali but the similarities end there.

Well I thought it might be some kind of 'suicide'... Maybe they think they will ascend/end up in Nali paradise?

They can't be teleporting to other parts of Na Pali, otherwise things like the sky lift, nali boats etc., wouldn't exist.

Whatever they do, it seems to need a good deal of preparation and energy. They obviously can't do it whilst being guarded by the Skaarj, or when they're nailed to a cross.
 
I was kidding of course, but in my upcoming SP project I attempt to explain this a bit (or offer, at least, some tangible suggestions that I think might be interesting). I like very much the idea that they can either use the effect in limited capacity to "escape" to a nearby location within a limited distance, although it can be dangerous. Really, I think it was just an unrealized novelty of the game that the designers ought to have fleshed out that basically explains how they escape from harm after the player rescues them (i.e., making the player feel like they did something good).

As the manual states, Nali have limited telekinetic powers. That means they can teleport and move things from a distance, just not too far and with a lot of preparation.

What about all those Nalis the Skaarj and Krall have locked up in prison cells? Why don't they just teleport away? they've got all the time in the world to prepare.
