I didn't realize the creature was so close to Sychella, when we first saw it. If and obviously when Sychella was already in a threatened area, when she began her move, she does indeed provoke an AoO. She had to move out of a threatened square, which usually does draw an AoO. But the reason for the AoO is moving out of a threatened square, not moving in at a later time like I understood was your ruling.  I'm not at all concerned, what might have went wrong or not in the battle - this happens all the time in games I DM myself - I'm only trying to explain what does provoke an AoO and what doesn't. If two creatures have the same reach and the attacker moves in to strike at the defender, the defender does not get an AoO, because the attacker is only moving in (and not out of) a square threatened by the defender. But now I rest my case and refrain from further rules-lawyering. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> At least in this case. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
