Delaying is usually bad, you get only 1 attack instead of full attack.

If you attack once, and there's nothing else to attack, you could theoretically move (but not attacking again), if you already moved, that's it, your turn is done.</p>No, you can't, because martials can't have nice things.

The orcs just think they have the jump on the guy and go and surround him and try to pummel him to bits. And it's not like you're needing to get surrounded multiple times in a fight, once they realize that you chilling out there is a trap it would be too late. Surrounding a target and ganging up to drop someone is the best tactic.</p>What do you mean? The orcs just think they have the jump on the guy and go and surround him and try to pummel him to bits.
