They are hit, suffer the 10' knockback, then when you check to push them back from another beam the conditional trigger is already applied preventing an additional occurrence.So if you direct all beams at the same place, they all trigger the same 10' pushback, while hitting multiple creatures will create separate pushbacks. The only way to argue against this is to believe either:a) The spell creates a single conditional trigger, in which case you are ignoring the part where it mentions each creature. orb) The beams do not hit concurrently, meaning each beam on the same target has the capacity to trigger it's own conditional trigger and cause 10' knockback per beam. The when clearly ascribes a singular significance to the spell hitting, regardless of how many beams hit the target at the same time.</blockquote>
