I was shocked to see Azif attack Rude Bob. Or was it the opposite, because Azif was too nosy and opened the wrong door?
Seriously speaking: Repeat with "talk to Azif in Hanging Rat while standing on the way out (or step to the way out to block Azif way when he asks you to follow him". Then the path algorithm sends Azif behind the counter, here you go with a probably unwanted fight between two NPCs.
SuNo
PS: Who wins? Rude Bob!
