conversations:  Wow.   That's insane.
  
  And while we don't have confirmation from Psionic yet, I'll go out on a limb and say it's over.  I count 50 damage, all told.  It would basically be enough to kill both of you, or close to it.
conversations: hustlertwo:
conversations: human
conversations:  ...wow. Granted I was hoping to do the exact same thing to you but ... wow.
  
  Mr. Q is reduced to -6 by the AoO.
  
  It doesn't matter but as an aside yes, Mr. Q did get the bonus on his ranged attack. The map specifically says high ground grants a +1 untyped bonus on attacks with no restrictions to melee. I'm pretty sure than anything specifically stated as true on a map always supersede generic raw when applicable.
conversations: Psionic Dog:
conversations: human
conversations:  That does sound like it would be true.
  
  Oh, and  Ayl wins by annihilation.
