You have to trust their (and your) commitment to the story, and trust that whatever they do they do for the benefit of the story. If you can't, that's a sign you should suggest using some sort of randomizer to resolve things. This doesn't just apply to combat, it could apply anywhere.
To help get the thread back on track, I went back and reread a few pages. I want to put kudos and emphasis on this quote. The best way for people to not blend IC/OOC during a conflict of any kind is trust and OOC cooperation in the telling of a story.
When people start trying to beat another character with their character, it becomes a contest that can end up on an OOC level. I unfortunately speak from experience. Lesson learned.
