There are two ways: initative ties and delayed actions. If a mage
and a sam tied their initiative but the sam had the higher initiative
(sam goes on 20 then 10, the mage goes on 10) the mage would declare
his actions first, then the sam would declare. The sam would then
act before the mage. If the mage were to declare that he was casting
at spell and if the sam were aware of this (don't ask me how, this is
just an example) the sam could declare that he was moving to block
the mage's LOS.
Example 2: Sam rolls an initative of 13, mage rolls a 10. The sam
delays his action. On 10 the mage declares he's targeting one of the
sam's friends with a spell. The sam is aware of this (again, it's an
example) and declares that he's going to move to block the mage's
LOS.
