What about three hits from scorching ray, then? One spell, multiple rolls?

This thread makes me think we need a dnd AITA forum :)

Xanathars gives a rule to handle timing: Seems like that would apply here.

But did you prepare explosive runes? :)

The shove rules explicitly say that it is a type of attack. (Though not with a weapon of course.)

OTOH, if a fifth level fighter shoved you prone and then attacked with a dagger via extra attack, they could make a bonus TWF attack with a second dagger.
