I've watched a couple YouTube walkthroughs for this quest and it seems that when Mannimarco appears he first hits Abnur and talks to Lyris. Instead, after "Wait, what?" he just appears and instantly one-shots me dead. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Never was there a time when I did not exist nor you nor these lords of men.
Neither will there be a time when we shall not exist; we all exist from now on.
