Interesting. I would say that even if the wall does perfectly align with the grid it obstructs lines between the two left-hand corners of Grimmwald’s space and the bottom-right corner of the space in question, since such a line would also have to go along the grid line. The only way the wall wouldn’t obstruct such a line is if the wall didn’t reach the grid line.Upper and lower left. There is no obstruction in that square. That's how it works with hard corners, unless the DM wants to say that the wall doesn't perfectly align with the grid. I wouldn't though, even in this case. I would rather treat all hard corners the same so players know what to expect.
I wouldn't make it relevant. It's set dressing, not a tactical consideration in my view.On this particular map, there is a sort of pillar covering the corner, but I don't know if that is relevant.
Personally I’d say it isn’t relevant. The wall should be treated as if it aligns with the grid, even if the artwork doesn’t perfectly reflect that. I just think a wall that lines up with the grid would constitute an obstruction to a line being drawn along the grid.On this particular map, there is a sort of pillar covering the corner, but I don't know if that is relevant.
The pillar creates the cover, but he can still make the attack.On this particular map, there is a sort of pillar covering the corner, but I don't know if that is relevant.
This is the RAW answer, but I think a DM would be justified in applying half-cover in this case.Yes, the PC gets an opportunity attack. The orc does not have cover.
The rules in the PHB only applies to movement, not attacks. The orc clearly leaves the PC's reach. There is no cover because you can draw a line from the corner of the PC's space to every corner of the space the orc leaves without anything blocking it.
If the orc doesn't want to provoke the attack, it can Disengage and move.
I'm not convinced that going along the grid line counts as an obstacle in a way the rules contemplate.Interesting.

Yes, something is off about this whole thing. Orcs move toward their enemies, aggressively, not away from them!But, perhaps missing the issue you are trying to get at, in this case the orc should just take the movement penalty to move through his ally's square and avoid his enemy's range.
