I have to say I was pretty surprised when they just allowed ol torchface to just walk on by. Even had a little chat! I'd anticipated an attempted mace to the face....
Meh, despite it being "maybe" a glitch, I'm going to guess that the Vampire is trying to hide from them. Two against one, isn't a very fair odd to that vampire. Them attacking you would result in you fighting the vampire along with the Vigilant.
