Simple RAW for 5e V: The Disadvantage Strikes Back

[Dualswinger]

Q. 309

The crux of the issue is "when does a creature fall?"

I am playing as a lvl 5 monk with a fly speed of 40, Crusher Feat and Way of the Open Hand subclass.

For this example, we will assume that a creature is always hit and always fails their saving throws.

I use the attack action to hit the enemy twice with my quaterstaff, the crusher feat allows me to move them 5ft in any direction. I move them straight up. They are now 10ft off the ground. I move directly under them with 5ft of movement.

I use flurry of blows, the first hit sends them 15ft straight up, I fly up 15ft and strike with the second attack, sending them another 15ft up. They are now 35ft above the floor and drop.

This legal? Or does a creature fall immediately after each attack?
