erm well im doing the first Redoran quest for Athyn Sarethi where u go 2 save his son... ive got him and im in the process of evacuating him from the building - then the NPCs start doing odd things... attacking me, then when i hit them with my fire damage iron warhammer all i get is the fire damage, not an actual hit then they go away... then they instantly re-arm their swords and go after the son. so i hit them. the same happens again... could this be one of the infamous plugin conflicts or what?

the only ones i have running on this char are:
Astarsis_HEM_DonSal...
Astarsis_HEF
Astarsis_DEM
Astarsis_BR
Astarsis_DEF_Vampire...
Astarsis_DEF_FieryReplace
Astarsis_DEF_AddOnly...
LeFemmArmor
A good place to stay (non-teleport version)
AV_female_armor (female armour meshes)
well? any ideas? seems a pretty abstract conflict if it is one...
