If C gets out the way A carries on moving (A and B suffer AoO from C). If C doesn't get out of the way I'd say standard overrun resolution with both A and B falling flat if A fails the trip attempt [personally I wouldn't allow any feats to be applied by A as he's somewhat busy at this point]. If C collapses A and B can carry on.C has the option of avoiding even if he's unaware - you get reflex saves whilst flat footed so I see no problem with avoiding an overrun just for simplicity sake.Question 2 - large creature / formation bull rushingIf A tries to bullrush both B's I'd let both B's add there results together (pushing two people is VERY difficult). If I was in a nice mood with regards to A I might just let the B's add their strength (and multi leg bonuses) to a single dice roll vs A's single dice roll.If A wanted to bullrush only one B I'd let them have an overrun attempt on the other to get him out the way.[if A is a formation rather than a large creature I'd do the same option for both sides but I would prefer individual A's to bull rush individual B's]With regards to poles I would not allow it with a single pole you'd need a complex framework to spread the forces, allow control, etc. If the player managed to get such I'd rule the same as above.Question 3If A pushes B all the way to the wall then B ends up prone at A's feet. If A stops 5' away from the wall B is left standing.The speeds involved wont cause any damage, mild disorientation at best.</blockquote>
