I just started a new game and killed off the two clay golems while they where still in their closet. After I emerged from the Djinn quest the two golems showed up and whent through their dialog, I attacked. I didn't seem to hurt them and when I checked their HP status it showed "dead", makes sense since I killed them but wtf where they chasing me around then?
This was the first time I killed them before entering Irenicus room.
