Jaelnec isn't dieing, he is just largely paralyzed (which Aemoten told Thaler is the effect of yth venom; without him telling Thaler wouldn't even know yths have venom, since based on your previous posts they were unknown beings to her). And Koraakan very concretely told Thaler that Rilon is going to show up and intercept, and that the deal will only go in effect once the sword has actually been obtained since the one cannot hold enough sway over the Blood God himself without it. - Thaler also never asked for their safety in general, just for protection from Rilon and his schemes and whatever minions and beings he sent at them.

As for Aemoten admitting when he is wrong, then he does do it, and has done so repeatedly during the course of the RP, both to others and himself. He tends to rant and say not particularly well thought-out things when he is angry or - in the given case - terrified out of his mind and afraid to lose everything he has once more, granted (there is however still a filter between what he might think and what he says - are you certain you don't attribute some of the narrative to the dialogue? I really can't explain where she's coming from otherwise...), and he is already a miserable mental wreck at the moment... Then again, Thaler herself has not exactly been reasonable, either. Aemoten [i]never[/i] actually belittled her (though interpretations may vary) and has made certain to keep his voice down at all times, and doesn't actually believe she did anything wrong besides talking a bit too loudly (if you recall, Aemoten's response to Jaelnec's inquiry about what was going on was "Rilon happened," not anything that would set blame on Thaler), and actually repeatedly tried to reassure her and asked what she thought they should or could do under the given circumstances, which she just completely ignored. For the most part he's simply been "I will stay beside you whatever you do, but[i] please[/i] get rid of this thing before everyone realizes you have it [...] and don't do [i]that,[/i] that is a[i] bad[/i] idea." (And has probably repeated it more than just a few times too many.)

Oeh... Let's just hope it'll be over soon. They all need a break. Seriously.
