Another issue that appeared for me is if you make any surface on the ground that damages anyone, fire, poison, stunning, etc., and Ifan or the elf stand in it they will turn hostile towards you almost instantly. Which from a role play view I sort of get it. But from a gaming and fun factor view it just makes for a needless reload. I don't have a proposal on how to solve this
other than a short invulnerability period but that could have other consequences if you really intended to kill them and are now facing an invulnerable npc.
