Just chiming in that even if Tem was firing through Paan’s square that does<em>not</em>grant total cover to the goblin but<em>soft cover</em>, which is +4 to the goblin’s AC for each enemy you try to shoot around (so +8, if you want to rule that both Paan and his steed are making the shot more difficult). This is separate from the penalty for firing into melee, and so a Precise Shot does not negate soft cover, though Improved Precise Shot would.<br/><br/>Tem can maneuver to avoid this in this case, but for future reference.
