I edited out most of the cowled wizard stuff cuz it's resident sleeper, basically rinse and repeat what i did to the first bunch, they will keep respawning until finally a named one will spawn with them, after that they won't ever bother you again.
Trying to help the Soldiers isn't the best idea since ScS scripts will activate and since you also can't use AoEs it will actually drag out the fight.
(unless doing it in a secluded area I guess, but doing that before HLAs is kinda annoying)
