I have a question on how to resolve someone using an all-out defense in an attempt to close against someone using a wait maneuver. Here is the situation:

There are only two characters, A and B. Character A and Character B both have reach 1 weapons and are 2 yards apart.

Character A goes first and chooses to wait and attack when character B steps into reach.

Character B chooses an all-out defense (increased defense) for the +2 and then chooses to step into Character A's reach (they are now at 1 yard apart and both are within each other's reach).

Character A's wait is triggered and Character A attacks Character B.

Now what? I assume Character B defends at +2 because of the AoD (Determined). But is it then Character A's turn again because character B cannot attack that turn? If so, and character A chooses to attack, does Character B still get the AoD (Determined) bonus? If it was for a parry or block, does this count as multiple parries or blocks on the same turn?

Thanks!
