Actually, it isn't "simultaneous", it is instantaneous, which in mechanical terms simply means it can't be dispelled.Just how simultaneous is it? If your first attack slays a target, can you direct the second elsewhere, or must you choose each shot's target before making any rolls?
JC has said the intent is you resolve the attack/damage consecutively. Since 5E does not deal with declared actions/attacks, this follows that spirit IMO.I don't think there is a first and a second, you decide where they are going when you cast it, just like Magic Missile. So if you direct them at the same enemy and the first one slays it then the second is irrelevant.
RAW there is no direct rule or interpretation that I am aware of. The DM can run it either way and be perfectly justified.
