An Opportunity attack occurs when you leave a creatures reach, The attack uses your Reaction. I'm good with that so far.. The next part states  " The attack interrupts the provokinging creatures movement " , does this mean the creature provoking the Opportunity attack can keep moving away, or is it halted in its movement if struck ?

 

On reading the Sentinal feat, I would assume even if struck it can keep moving unless the attacker has the Sentinel feat ?

It interupts movement, but doesn't stop movement.  The creature can use it's remaining movement to keep moving afterwards (unless it's dead, or you hit with ensaring strike, or a trip attack, ect...)

 

Basicly you hit someone before they leave reach.
