OOC: jksason... I always assume that characters are fully combat-trained and strategically sound... which includes moving into the most advantageous positioning when it comes to combat (i.e. flanking etc.). So even if Jina posts first, there is nothing wrong with Donovan shouting "flank 'em up" and stepping into a position that will lead to a flank.
Even though there is an "initiative order" per se, in reality these actions are all happening virtually on top of each other, so Donovan would see Jina moving to set up the flank and would counter accordingly.
I don't nitpick little things like this. It lessens the fun for everybody. You wanna flank... go for it.

Brother Donovan, human cleric
Donovan sees the elf girl begin her acrobatic move to flank the adept and smiles. "Knew I liked you," he says, stepping sideways himself. Saying no more, he swings away with his mace.

[sblock=Encounter A9b - Round 2]"You dare put your hands on me?!? Die! Die!" the adept shouts in draconic, after having been shoved backwards by the cleric and into the central pillar. He swings with his greatclub and bashes the cleric's shield arm, although its attempted bite is able to be dodged. (Attack Donovan w/greatclub: *hit* 14 damage // Attack Donovan w/bite: *miss*) The pain and dizziness is excrutiating, but the cleric's resolve stays firm.
Donovan sees the elf girl begin a complicated feint against the adept, so he waits a milisecond to see if the blackscale bites. Jina makes a quick thrust with her right blade, a feint to distract its attention, as she throws her body into a flip that takes her past the creature to its left. Her arm comes out to grab the pillar, using her forward momentum to slingshot her around it and slash out at the lizard in earnest from the opposite side. Horatio takes the opportunity to step into the spot she used to be standing in, and the two of them have the adept flanked.
Jina thrusts with her thinblade and catches the rear of the adept (Attack Adept w/thinblade: *hit* 12 damage) while the Silver Flame cleric comes in with an uppercut that catches the lizard right under the jaw. (Attack Adept w/greatclub: *crit* 14 damage) The lizard's head snaps harshly back and it's eyes glaze over. Neither it nor Horatio are feeling all too good right now.
Aern figures that one last good swipe at the creature would bring it down, so he steps forward and brings his shortsword to bear. Sure enough, the adept is unable to block the attack and the bard's thrust is on target and fatal. (Attack Adept w/shortsword: *hit* 6 damage) The blackscale slams hard into the pillar from the thrust, then slides weakly to the ground in a puddle of blood.
Despite Rogan's shout to step back so that the wolverine could move further into the room, Ari just continues to press the attack. Using Onyx as a distraction again, the hunter uses another double handed strike followed by a thrown shoulder full of spikes to try to drop the beast. The swordstrike is successful, but the crazed wolverine is too low to the ground to take a solid shoulder block. (Attack dire wolverine w/longsword: *hit* 12 damage // Attack dire wolverine w/armor spikes *miss* / lightly hurt) Ari then takes a step back to allow the wolverine to step forward.
Rogan sees that it'll be impossible to get behind the animal at this point in time even if it steps further into the room, but at the very least he wouldn't have to fight around the corner. He waits a second (Delay) and sure enough, the dire wolverine steps forward to continue it's attack on Ari.
It raises both of its claws and catches the hexblade with one of them... and with his sharp canines is able to take a chunk out of Ari's leg as well! The monster hunter can feel the blood seeping through his pants. (Attack Ari w/claw: *hit* 9 damage // Attack Ari w/claw: *miss* // Attack Ari w/bite: *hit* 7 damage ) The wolverine's handler steps forward as well, and casts a spell upon himself that both Jango and Khalia recognize as a Protection From Good.
Now that the creature is in front of him, Rogan slashes and jukes with his twin daggers, both of which connect. The wolverine howls in pain from the stabs to it's side. (Attack dire wolverine w/dagger: *hit* 3 damage // Attack dire wolverine w/dagger: *hit* 3 damage / lightly hurt)
Jango moves around the corner to give him a better view of the animal plus the hallway behind it, then fires his wand once more. (Cast Magic Missile vs dire wolverine: 9 damage / hurt)
Khalia moves behind Ari and uses her wand to infuse him with more restorative energy. The effect is slight, but better than nothing. (Cast Cure Light Wounds: 5 hit points healed)
Initative Order:
17 Blackscale Adept -40 dead
13 Jina 35/37

Brother Donovan, human cleric
Donovan falls back against the wall, wheezing a bit.
"I gotta learn how to get out of the way better," he says, laughing. Then the laugh turns into a painful cough.
"I hate to give up either miracle, but if I'm not alive, they both die with me," the templar mutters cryptically. He holds his hand on his chest, muttering softly, and even as he finishes, the man is clearly more sound than when he started.
"Let's see about that pincer move, then, shall we?" he adds, trotting down the hall toward the sounds of growling and conflict.
[sblock=OOC]Tough choice, but I'll have Donovan swap out the Dispel Magic for Cure Serious Wounds With the bonuses from Donovan's Augment Healing feat, it should heal 3d8+11 hit points. Then he'll use his move to make his way down the hall toward the others, coming at the remaining enemies from the rear.[/sblock]

Knowing he might be able to tumble over the large to set up flanking thinks on it for a split second before deciding against it. He has already placed himself in situations he could not handle and has no interest of doing that again. If the others weren't able to make it out of the tunnel, he would be surrounded.
Instead the Daggerspell Guardian strikes with both daggers once more, hoping to bring the beast down quickly.

Jina looks to Donovan with concern in her eyes as the lizard crumples between them. It's clear he's taken more than his fair punishment from the fighting so far.
Seeing him heal himself, though, she gives a confident nod in return to his words and follows hot on his heels towards the sounds of combat around the corner. She only hopes that they're not too late coming to the aid of her brother and the others - by the sounds of that growling, they have a tough fight on their hands.

Jina looks to Donovan with concern in her eyes as the lizard crumples between them. It's clear he's taken more than his fair punishment from the fighting so far. (Delay)
Donovan leans against the wall wheezing, then lays a hand upon his chest to heal his considerable wounds. Even as he finishes, the man is clearly more sound than when he started. (Cast Cure Serious Wounds: 27 hit points healed) He smiles and nods, then turns to begin making his way to the sonds of battle. (Move action to W10)
Seeing him heal himself, Jina gives a confident nod in return to his words and follows hot on his heels towards the sounds of combat around the corner. With thoughts of her brother in her head, she rushes past the cleric and hurries as fast as her legs can take her. (Double move action to Y5)
"I'll stay here and guard the entrance." Aern says... fearful that there might be others in the area who will drawn to the sounds of fighting. He takes up a position in the center of the hall, keeping his eyes peeled out to the portico, and down the hallway to the west.
Ari Osten stares at the creature in front of him... knowing that if he takes a couple more shots like he did last time, it could easily knock him out of this fight.

Bloodied, the hunter cursed again. Looking to the side, he saw Rogan up close and personal, and knew he could not leave the rogue by himself. "Hope this works," he muttered under his breath. Then then tried to concentrate on casting a spell, channeling cold warmth up his arm at the same time to bolster his wavering strength.
OOC: Swift action to gain another 5 tmp hit points (having blown through the last five), use Concentration (untrained at +2) to cast on the defensive, spending an AP if within 3 of succeeding. Cast phantom threat on the wolverine to cause it to be treated at flanked for 2 rounds if it fails its save.
