2 of 13: You'll need to kill the guard.
3 of 13: What weapons do you have available?
4 of 13: You can't get close enough to use your knife.
5 of 13: You'll have to use the crossbow and bolt.
6 of 13: You need to fire from a hiding place, so he won't see you.
7 of 13: Look down at the far end of the room; there's a scaffold with a cloth draped over it.
8 of 13: Go to the back of the room, and step under the scaffolding (you should now be behind the cloth).
9 of 13: Now you'll need some way to sight on the guard, and fire your crossbow.
10 of 13: You'll need to create a vantage point from behind the cloth.
11 of 13: A tear in the cloth would help.
12 of 13: Use your knife on the cloth to create an opening.
13 of 13: Shoot the crossbow through the hole in the cloth.
