A user by the name of Myrmuzduur discovered a way to save Xzar from the Harper Assassin. I couldn't find this story anywhere else but here.

I did it!
Imprisonment was the answer. He has to be imprisoned a split second before the Harper spawns, just as he finishes casting the polymorph spell which causes her to spawn.
Here is the timing I managed to achieve. Edwina casts Imprisonment and just as the cage animation appears, I talk to Xzar:
And here is the dead Harper, minus Xzar who is imprisoned:
Here is Xzar, saved from ignominious instant-death, ALIVE AND STANDING ABOVE THE CORPSE OF HIS MURDERER, just like I said he would be:
That's all he'll say to me now as well. No more dialogue. Would have been nice if they'd snuck in something there but oh well.
Mission accomplished.

Now we easily can complete SoA with Xzar. Just ctrl+q him and it will be all chocolate, I mean a nice chianti and some fava beans!
Not as spectacular but atleast you dont need an epic level wizard or to waste two level 9 scrolls ;-)

While paused
Here i had Nalia use the Rod of Resurrection on Xzar right before the kill script triggered

Now Xzar can live on to plot another day
