Well, my PCs try their hardest to insure nothing bad happens to their lover. Wouldn't you?

(I could understand if it was Viconia, but still...) Try slapping a Protection from Petrification then a Spell Shield on Aerie, or better yet, check to see if the romance is still active with this console code: CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("JaheiraRomanceActive","GLOBALS")
(I think that's the code, anyway. Would a guru mind stepping in and checking my answer?

)
