Um, I just killed Tazok in the bandit camp

As my party was strolling through Peldvale, we came across Raiken and his band of unmerry men. Following Drizzt's advice from earlier in the game, my barbarian leader, Alandra, decided to use guile and intimidation to infiltrate the bandits, rather than attack head-on.
Soon afterward, we arrived at the bandit camp. When Tazok questioned Alandra as to her motives, Raiken inexplicably interrupted and threatened to "bruise" Tazok - who then even more inexplicably responded by attacking Alandra rather than Raiken.
Being adept with ranged weapons, my party quickly pelted Tazok with a variety of arrows, bullets, and darts, but Tazok continued to press forward.
As Tazok walked up to Dorn, I figured that he was about to initiate his dialogue welcoming my party into the camp. But instead, he clubbed Dorn for 12 points of damage! (fortunately, Viconia was standing nearby to heal him) So my party continued to wail away at him.
By now, both Dorn and my barbarian were standing toe-to-toe with Tazok and clobbering him with all of their collective might, but still Tazok stubbornly refused to welcome them into the camp. Then finally, an arrow by Kivan (fittingly, given his backstory) dealt a fatal blow to Tazok. Curiously, no one in the camp really seemed to mind that their leader had just been slain, and continued to stand about as though nothing had happened.
The moral of the story?

It involves aliens.
Must say though, if I was Tazok I would be pretty suspicious of your barbarian: what kind of hot blonde barbsrian chick would join a bandit camp full of lonely men!
Don't worry - he'l be back.
I remember doing it in vanilla BG1 too, but at that time, you had to keep your distance from him or else he would initiate the dialogue welcoming you into the camp, which would end your chance at killing him.
Here, he just kept relentlessly coming at us until he was killed, with no attempt to initiate dialogue.

I just did 107hp to him before stunning him. At this point he said "Near Death." The party then laid an astonishing 170hp of damage on him before he popped out of stun and said "You can join, I'm outta here." For good measure we pumped another 87hp worth of arrows in his backside as he turned tail to run (i don't think the game counts the HP once he is blue). From Near Death to Dead should not take 170hp!
Thought for sure i had him that time, now i suspect they have made him unkillable (appropriate, but i am on a munchkin run so i wanted to kill him twice!)
