Okay, so we're in the Tomb of Horrors, next to last room before Acererak. Half our normal group is gone to DragonCon, so we're down to 4 players - 1 cleric, 1 crippled swordmage (he's attuned to 3 keys that take him down on everything -2 for each key), 1 paladin, and my Avenger. So for a group of 4, we're balanced fair. Just some brief background there.
Anyways, we've got this "God-Golem" creature we're fighting. Solo Elite something. Close to 900 hp's and lots of effects. We've got him surrounded and flanked, when he unleashes a close blast 3 that hits all of us, including a crit on the paladin (this guys crits *hurt*). At this time, I've got Divine Castigation up (I'm multiclass'ed cleric). So when he attacks me or an ally I get an OA. I worship Ioun, have Power Of Skill so I've got Overwhelming Strike as a substitute MBA. So on the first hit (me coincidentally), I take the OA, and I shift one square and pull the God-Golem into the square I vacated. Now at this point, his close blast 3 misses 2 of us, including the crit on the Paladin, because the God-Golem is in a different place and my attack, an immediate interrupt, resolves before his close blast 3 does.
The DM argues that the God-Golem might have turned when I shifted him, adjusting his blast so that it still hits 2 out of 3. We, the players argued that we didn't think thats the way the game mechanics work. The DM finally relented, but I felt I better ask the resident experts here.
So what is right? Would like to clear it up for sure so I can tell the DM and the group (all of us were curious).
Thanks!
