NO no I mean, I went to the museum and did the quest and then the Greeterbot told me I'd have to eventually fight them, is this true or just part of the experience?? ~O.O~
You'll never have to fight them, but rook attacks are becoming more and more common these days. I fought in two in the space of a couple hours the other day. As far as I know you can just leave the street if you don't feel like fighting.
