Any way for
Schmidt and/or
Heimer to shift over and allow
Berthold the opportunity to charge?
Either way
Scmidt and
Heimer do what they do... just Heimer attacks a bit quicker
The orcs might choose to attack Schmidt or Heimer instead of Berthold, but there is no guarantee. Any way you slice it - Berthold would be in melee and leaving it, making him vulnerable to a free attack, if the orcs choose to attack him.
Can Schmidt cast cure light wounds on Cedric while they are both in melee?
The core rules don't address this, but the complete rules specifically disallow it (and that probably comes from Holmes, where casting spells in melee is also prohibited - I think the one exception is a spell from a wand). So I'll say no, Schmidt would first have to lead Cedric out of the way, leaving the combat himself by doing so.
