The rioters' pledge in "The Pardoner's Tale" is ironic because, as they swear to avenge death and find Death to kill him, they end up finding Death in the form of the gold coins they ultimately die for. Their greed and moral corruption lead to their own downfall, resulting in a twist of fate where they inadvertently bring about their own deaths.
