Death or Glory + Awesome Blow and Cleave and Cleaving Finish

How does these two ability interact if a Huge creature uses them both against a large creature?

DoG says: After you resolve your attack, the opponent you attack can spend an immediate action to make a single melee attack against you with the same bonuses.

Seems since the large creature only gets it's attack after it was knocked away (after the attack is resolved), it won't get the melee attack if the huge creature is out of it's reach.

How do Cleave and Cleaving Finish interact if you use Cleave on a creature and it falls to 0 hp with two creatures adjacent to it? Do you get two extra attacks on one adjacent foe? Which extra attack comes first?


For the first, the simple answer to this is "They don't."

Death or Glory is a full round action. Awesome blow is a standard action. You don't get to use both.

Spoiler:
Death or Glory (Combat)

Even when facing a larger foe, you aren't afraid to take great risks in order to finish the fight.

Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack, base attack bonus +6.

Benefit: Against a creature of size Large or larger, you can make a single melee attack as a full-round action, gaining a +4 bonus on the attack roll, damage roll, and critical confirmation roll. You gain an additional +1 on this bonus at base attack bonus +11, +16, and +20 (for a maximum of +7 at base attack +20). After you resolve your attack, the opponent you attack can spend an immediate action to make a single melee attack against you with the same bonuses.

Special: You can combine the full-round action attack this feat allows with the benefit of Vital Strike, Improved Vital Strike, or Greater Vital Strike.

For the second, you would gain an additional extra attack, usable immediately, against any other applicable target. It would come before your Cleave attack. If there were only two targets to start, you would get one hit on the first and two hits on the second.
