This looks fun!

Just a couple of Qus:

What are our senses like? (Hearing, smell, sight) It stands to reason they would go to waste on a telepathic creature.  :-\

How fast are we?

You pretty much rely on telekenesis for sense, other senses have lost importance over eons of evolution. You're fast enough to outrun a human. 15-20 mph?

Excellent...

At full power, can we completely possess someone and use their body as our own?

^At full power, yes, but it would be completely draining. And it would leave your body totally exposed unless you hid somewhere I guess.
-------------------------------------
You concentrate your telepathic energy on the vicinity, you detect human presences, but they are not alarmed or suspicious. You ask the human if he has any meat in his freezer, but it turns out he's a vegetarian! It looks like you'll have to find food elsewhere, the last thing you ate was part of the elk carcass. The man tells you about a pub down the road that typically has meat stored, and also a convenience store. The man suggests waiting until night time to avoid detection. No shit, you could have figured that out.

Kill him for taking us for being completely retarded. Slowly. And painfully.

The only thing that happened in general was the death of 71% of the fort, and that wasn't really worth mentioning.

Yeah. Let's eat him. Slowly.

Muahahah. Though we do need to rest enough to regain our TelePoints if we want to do anything risky.

Do Not eat our follower. He is more useful to us alive and undigested.

Also, the image below isn't working for me.
You're a bit larger than the average human, about 6.5 feet tall. Your face looks pretty much like

, so minimal facial features but you do have teeth. You have 3 fingers, + opposable thumbs. Rough scaly skin and a relatively short tail.

Well, in that case we should eat ourselves for being so ugly. :D

So based on the picture we could disguise ourselves as a bush.

Well, we could just wear hunter's camouflage and blend in with the forest if things start to go badly for us. But, let's try to avoid behaviors that would cause that to happen.

Suggestions: If the convenience store is open 24/7, go to the bar, steal 2-3 meals worth of meat, and also a firearm, if one is kept behind the bar. If the store closes, break in and steal meat, 2-3 meals worth of fresh if available, as well as all of the jerky, several cartons of cigarettes (could be sold somewhere for cash), a few bottles of water and 2 lighters.

I can understand the meat, and jerky, but we already have a gun. And we're stealing things already, why the suddern want for cash to purchase things we could steal?

Because stealing arouses suspicion, and Police Officers are slightly less understanding than our follower.

The gun is probably the lootwhore in me talking; ignore that. As for the cash, while we could probably get some by brainwashing humans, that seems a bit more suspicious than petty crime to people and agencies we want to avoid. Apart from that, the cash is more for saving for things that can't be easily stolen or obtained from followers, i.e. international flights, etc.

You wait around for a few hours until dusk, replenishing your telepathic energy considerably. The human lies awake on his couch watching a television. You leave the house and make your way towards the Tavern down the dirt road. You peer through a window and see multiple humans engaged in merrymaking and carousal. You walk around the other end of the building and spot the back door. You bravely nudge open the door and look inside. There's a man dressed in white butchering some meat, this must be a kitchen. His back is faced to you and he's the only one there apparently. A large door separates the kitchen from the bar. Will you enter?
