Depending on the ruling on the magic circle, Armstrong will either take a five foot step and full attack Ringo or move and attack Ringo.
 

Okay, I went back over it, and there is some oddity here. Gansk mentions comparing to the angels' Protective Aura, which can be dispelled and re-established (though it doesn't say "dismissed", only "dispelled"), as an exception to most Su abilities, which cannot be Dispelled. One must wonder why the designers made that exception. The archon's ability doesn't have the special text about dispelling and re-establishing, and instead mentions it as "always surrounds". This maneuver was made in post 715, for those interested in checking in on it. It is rather unfair of me to have not contested it way back then and now undo it on him, but I'm afraid that looks like the best thing to do.

Worse, since I didn't have the magic circle in my list of buffs for Armstrong, the recent hits against him at AC27 should have failed, since his AC is actually 29. That means those two claws from the last exchange actually missed. His hp are now 80 as a result of correcting that, rather than 70.

133: Armstrong's full attack! He hits Ringo once, and then critically, and then misses. Highest miss 15, lowest hit 28. Damage (19 + 26 + 23 = 68). Ringo has 49 hp left.
 




133: Ringo bull-rushes Armstrong. The greatsword lashes out (AoO), hitting the hezrou for 20 pts of damage. Ringo has 29 hp left.
There is a great contesting of strength, which Ringo wins (18 vs. 26), pushing Armstrong back 5 ft and off the edge!

(now things get fun, let's see if I get this right)
Armstrong falls 40 ft, for 4d6 damage that ignores DR = 17 hp. He is at 63 hp, and at 115n80e0z in the water.

Edit: and is *prone* in the water. Choice of cannonball or belly-flop landing is up to Gansk.

Drac and Paul go!

This is from the DMG, page 303. When one falls into water that is at least ten feet deep, the first twenty feet of falling inflict no damage. The next twenty feet inflict nonlethal damage (1d3 per ten feet), so Armstrong should only take 2d3 nonlethal damage.

I do not know if Armstrong has a chance to use his wings before he falls, but I suspect that he does not.
 

Armstrong laughs at the fall then, taking only 2 points of nonlethal damage.
He is now at 78 hp (2 of which are nonlethal).

(Thanks for complicating my record-keeping!)
