I swear I will not betray you, if you let me out of this pit.

Oaths like this, with no conditionals, scare me. What happens if Nightwalker does something unintentional that calls attention to the company? What happens if, ghods forbid, someone else captures her and tortures her for information (everyone breaks eventually)?

Would Karida have accepted something like, "I swear that I will do no deliberate harm to you four, to your company, to your family, unless you first harm me. I swear that I will not willingly betray you, if you let me out of this pit."?

It is, indeed, a very broad and open-ended oath.

Karida would have accepted that, yes.

But it is a promise.

[aldersprig]

It is. *nods*
