Interesting tactic, Roboghost.

I tend to do the summons at the range of my vision then move forward (as I'm sure all summoners do) so that whatever attacks goes for the fodder first. It's simpler for me, and the benefit is, if you stay in sight of the mage or whatever, you can missile him/her to your heart's content. If I understand your tactic, it exploits the fact that opposing creatures won't attack if you can't see them, but allied creatures will. Not sure if that's what you meant, I haven't tried that tactic yet. If it works, it's almost too cheesy, even for me (though I love the multiple static charge + invisibility trick...)

On a side note, I'm happy to say that the skull trap/glyph of warding combination really works. Score a half-dozen yuan-ti priests down with no effort!
