Just add one tile onto your initial mob's x and y variable, then locate the clone there.

mob
    testing_npc
    verb
        spawn_mob()
            var/mob/testing_npc/t = new()
            var/x_loc = src.x ++
            var/y_loc = src.y ++
            t.loc = locate(x_loc, y_loc, src.z)

In response to DarkeWarrior (#1)
That's not going to do what you want. Namely, it'll move the player one step to the northest, and then locate the new mob there.

What you want to use is get_step().
