Alright, as part of a bit of RPing that I wanted to do I needed to eradicate both Vilkas and Farkas from The Companions.

I decided to use Vilkas as my bait for Boethiah's Shrine in order to get the Ebony Mail. Now, I've taken Farkas with me up to the Shrine and had him touch the Pillar (which to my surprise still works..)

But before when I tried this, he died. Quickly..

Now when I try it for some reason he'll go down to a sliver of health then automatically regenerate health? How..?

This worked fine before, and note I'm using the Ebony Blade on Farkas not the Sacrifical Blade or w/e it's called they give u.. (Ebony Dagger). Again this worked last time I loaded up Skyrim and now all of a sudden it's acting weird..

Any suggestions?

EDIT: NVM.. just reloaded and tried again and this time he died. IDK why he wouldn't before.. but okay.. lol.
