Step between them -- though not into the arc of a weapon -- and ask both to stand down. There's no way a single knight is going to beat a baphomet, and I'd rather not see my friend lose a fight so badly he looks like his armor lost a fight with a car crusher -- with him still in it! If either attacks, redirect them into the dirt. I'm nowhere near as strong as either one, but Aikido does nifty things to people who commit to lunging attacks. Find out why the baphomet attacked, and if it's not committed to our deaths or fates worse than, see if there is a peaceful solution. My longest lived and most successful D&D character EVER was a paladin -- I played that guy so long I got into his head and he got into mine. Most of his skills went into languages and diplomacy. I often find myself acting exactly as he would act to this day, when confronted with tense or dangerous situations.
