Leaving NPC

Good day everybody.
Some NPC, like Joia in Friendly Arm Inn in BGEE, are leaving once the quest is finished. Is there a simple way to force them to stay on their original place?

Thanks to all

    Every npcs' can be turned into Stone-form(or petrify), and after tgis form can be reversed. Npc will be hostile but can be charmed. Some charm spells change from hostile to neutral.

    I was rather thinking of modifying the script a litte bit by removing the instruction making them leave but that is a good trick à défaut. Thanks a lot Dzyingis.

    Modding this should be limited to change only 1 file. Dialog file of joia, probably joia.dlg have action ExitArea, delete this and charactef will never vanish. Near Infinity is enough to do ths.
