Thanks for the updates everyone!!
So Collan's logic here is that if we fight off some orcs in this tower and we've let these captives free, the orcs might kill them thinking we're in cahoots. If we ignore the captives during the fight then the orcs won't make that connection, and therefore the captives will stay safe till we fight off the orcs. Besides, those captives could be bad guys, we don't know if we can trust them not to stab us in the back during the fight.
If I were an orc who always had adventurers coming into my keep to rescue people I'd dress up some of my friends as trojan horses.
