You can also just plain not do it. It's a sidequest, not part of the critical path.
They've confirmed that there are mandatory fights. It appears as though you probably won't be able to build a non-combat character though.
One of my biggest worries with this game is that it might not learn from the one thing I really didn't like about Bloodlines 1: boss fights and forced combat gauntlets (the zombie graveyard, that one part where you get captured and have to do the torture trials, etc.). Maybe I'm just salty since I mainly did a build tailored for speech/exploration and it ended up being a really hard game toward the end, but scenes like that do kinda go against the game's framework.
