Presumably the assassin was seeing to the man in the watch tower. Right then, he would organize the escape. Haytham saw that everyone who was bound in any way was freed and made sure they understood they were to remain in here out of sight until instructed otherwise.

It was something of a surprise to see that fellow at the top of the watch tower when he peered outside but that did mean the prisoners could be set free. There would be no mass hanging today. As they had been instructed the prisoners left through the back door and made for the woods. There were very few patrols there, finding their way safely back to town would be as simple as following the path.

The just left that fellow... Haytham nodded at the tower before making his way to the woods as well. Talkthe assassin had said, but he would see if that was what had been meant.
