Quest fight skip glitch

This is a bit of an odd one. I did do a search of the forum but couldn’t find any reference to this.

While playing through the quest in Uzhitz involving getting the drunken priest to reveal information, I got into a fight to protect him, and decided to surrender. This skipped the fight and no cutscene triggered, and I was transported to a bell tower with the priest without failing the quest.

Seems like a wee l33t speedrunning strat.

(edit: heretic priest was getting what he deserved)
