Enemies in the game ignore NPCs. By stacking up bottles next to Batista and standing in the right spot, it's possible to have the enemy continually try to attack the Avatar, but hit Batista instead.Pren posted:
Can someone explain what happens?
Yay, we're not stupid anymore!
: What are you doing here?
: Look, I know you're upset...: You're damn right I'm upset! I'm trying to save this world and
you just handed me over to the enemy!: I know, but believe me, Samhayne didn't have a choice!: What do you mean he didn't have a choice?: Blackthorn showed up in Buccaneer's Den with a detachment of
his Wyrmguard. He told Samhayne that if we didn't hand you over to him, he
would destroy the town.: Don't you see that he didn't have a choice?: And I'm just supposed to trust you?: I figured that you may not trust me, so I brought you
this:: Consider it a sign of my good faith.
: My backpack... where did you get that?: Samhayne gave it to me to bring to you. I almost lost the
damned thing in Deceit when I was looking for you.: Samhayne sent you to Deceit to look for me?: He sent me after you, going into Deceit was my idea. I couldn't
stand the thought of something happening to you.: Really?: Well, yeah, we've been through a lot together, and well, I've
gotten kind of fond of you. 
: So what do you say? Partners again?: Alright, I trust you.: Very good. You'll see that you made the right decision. So,
what do we do now that Blackthorn has the Codex?: We're safe as long as he doesn't have the red and blue lenses;
the Codex can't be consulted without them.: I've heard a couple of rumors about the lenses, but nothing
that can be confirmed. One is said to be in the hands of a gargoyle in
Yew, the other was last seen in Minoc.: If you want to go to Yew, I can only take you as far as
Britain. You'll have to walk from there, but Lord British can give you a
shortcut.: Where would you like to go?
