Anyway... we came across some target dummies and we decided to dress one up in long dark robes, raised his cowl and generally made him look menacing. As we heard the goblins readying a quick attack on our position we raised the cowled dummy and the wizard cast ghost sound on it to make it emit an ominious moan.As the door crashed open the dummy was hit by two arrows (the DM rolled to see if the dummy fell over, etc) and a small strike band of goblins rushed in (all the nearby ones making spot checks on the dummy... and all failing to see it was a simple dummy in the heat of the battle). A goblin found himself between the disguised dummy and my slow-witted paladin. I asked if the dummy gave me a flanking bonus... anyway, after much looking up of rules... it was decided that it did <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. (The reason being that flanking is caused by the target having to split up is concentration and defenses between two opponents on opposite sides)Anyway... it worked out well and everyone still remembers the flanking dummy to this day <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
