Oblivion Remastered : NPC Pathing fix, for Shimmering Isles quest

[BOTJ33F]

I don't know what the cause is - but in the Shimmering Isles, "Baiting the Trap" quest -- you have 3 NPCs and you dictate their future.

For some reason, in the second room scene ... they just walk in circles at the bottom of the stairs in the treasure room and wont pass this. 

I tried quick save, quick load, loading earlier - then botched my game by Console: Ghosting to spook them into action, and then they just declared me an enemy and stood there like a-holes...

Of course I post this and then relog the game and it works the first time after being stuck for a dozen reloads ... wtf.

Had the same issue at this stage of the quest, after reloading a few times was able to get it to progress.
