[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3669225, member: 13966"] No. You haven't made any agreement with the other general, but you do owe it to your own general to keep your word and honor the truce for now. You are to wait until the truce has ended or been violated by the enemy before you can smite the fiend. You are not to associate with the Erinyes. You must back out of the parlay, and will probably request that your general follow you for his own safety, as your oaths do not permit you to deal with the opposing general's fiendish ally. You would probably ask that the other general send his associate back to his camp as you head back to yours, to maintain a fair parlay and facillitate a reasonable deal. If the other general refuses, you will have to either move back enough to be left out of the parlay, or go back to the camp, or bring your general back to the camp with you for the sake of his own safety (rather than leaving him there by himself, completely vulnerable to the Erinyes and opposing general; it would be dishonorable to leave the general there alone). Alternatively, you may request that the parlay be held off a short time longer, until another ally of yours could replace you at the general's side as his associate in the meeting. Nope. Unlike the example of the OP's, this is not a case of the paladin himself making an agreement with an individual that he does not know and who is intent on deceiving him. This is a case of the paladin making an agreement with his own military superior. Which he can honorably ignore by having a different soldier replace him at the parlay, since his first loyalty is to his oaths as a paladin, which deny him the leeway to attempt parlay with this fiend that the opposing general has brought along. His general would have to understand, having brought a paladin along, that the paladin would have to act as though he has a 10-foot-pole up his rear. :heh: [/QUOTE]
