What are the movement rules about squeezing past your party members? If not, I'll have to delay my round until there's some way through...

From: http://paizo.com/prd/combat.html

Friend: You can move through a square occupied by a friendly character, unless you are charging. When you move through a square occupied by a friendly character, that character doesn't provide you with cover.

Opponent: You can't move through a square occupied by an opponent unless the opponent is helpless. You can move through a square occupied by a helpless opponent without penalty. Some creatures, particularly very large ones, may present an obstacle even when helpless. In such cases, each square you move through counts as 2 squares.

Ending Your Movement: You can't end your movement in the same square as another creature unless it is helpless.

You can move through friendly squares with no penalty. but...I don't think the ogre has any cover so....

The spear thrust goes in a large eye and the ogre is fatally wounded. He drops with a thud to the chagrin of the goblins rooting for him to save them.

"Boo ya …"

Round 5 Init 5

Full-round action: Stow away shortbow and draw rapier
In-hand: rapier

Horster, upon watching the the beast fall, decides that now would be an ideal time for slipping in between the panicking, yet tumultuous goblins and striking them from behind while they seem to be preoccupied with the dwarves.

Was only waiting for Crom's post today. I don't expect much weekend posting. If it happen though, I can post sometimes.

Update Round 5
Morgan, the hobbit, the wizard and finally Morgan take town the ogre. Morgan's finale is impressive and deadly. Crom swipes at a goblin and it goes down. The cleric misses his goblin.

As Mit'l killed the ogre, he could move after the kill. Theorn and Crom had yet to act, so they moved too after the ogre died. The rest had already acted.
