I had a difficult time following this one.  Here's a helpful link regarding punctuation within dialogue.
theeditorsblog.net/2010/12/08/…

I'm having some issues with this paragraph:

“It might be a trap, Dragonborn,” With his steed stopping on its tracks, Kharjo gets off, setting himself on the ground before crouching. I find it peculiar that as a Khajiit he adheres to stealth but he dons a heavy dragon bone armor that is not the most adequate for preemptive tactics. “But I have a feeling that it doesn’t really bother you if it is.”

You don't want to break up the dialogue too much.  Let Kharjo speak and then in the next paragraph spell out Onyx's observations.

"It might be a trap, Dragonborn," Kharjo says as he comes to a full stop and dismounts his steed. "But I have feeling that it doesn't really bother you if it is."

As he landed, Kharjo crouched down in his heavy dragon bone armor.  I find it peculiar that as a Khajiit he adheres to stealth, yet dons a kind of armor that
is not the most adequate for preemptive tactics.

Still hidden withing Boethia’s gift, I move slightly closer, now being mindful that a Vigilant has come out. What is withing?

“Somewhat, you say?” I can’t blame Kharjo for his tone of voice; after all, one of the three who holds the rank of Lady Night’s warriors isn’t exactly the most virtuous fellow in Skyrim. “From what the people have been saying, Dragonborn, the Nightingale has never been so tainted.” Dialogue tag needed after first sentence.  I really have no idea who's talking and what is Kharjo's tone (angry, menacing?).


“Nothing, yet(,)" he signals his comrades.

 

“Remain vigilant brother(.)” Another one comes out, and he has mace drawn out. “They will come for this one soon enough.”


“You’ll get the chance yourself,” (dialogue tag needed: I say). Right after the last word, the sound of hoofs hitting the ground echoes and a few more arrows are shot, halting the Vigilants’ retaliation. I recognize the arrows… also the sound of that horse; Shadowmane. “The Nightingale sends their regards, it seems.”
