Hm, that is what I take one or more grenades with me... doesn't matter what
kind of grenade, even smoke will do. Or use an illusion spell. Maybe - if you
are a magician - project astrally and make yourself visible around the corner,
have 'em shoot at you. When they're ready (used all their delayed actions),
let someone round the corner.
I don't like sending people around a corner with enemies behind it - first, no
wolf shaman likes his pack being attacked, and second, it's the magicians who
have to heal those characters... :-)
