I can’t leave Talmberg when trying to sneak out and bury Henry’s parents.
I spoke to the Noblewoman who gave me some money to bribe the guard, but she also mentioned that I could find some armour to disguise myself in the armoury. I don’t have a lockpick, so it’s impossible to get any from there. No way will I be able to knock out a guard when I’m only in peasant clothes, so that avenue is cut off.
After I decided to abandon this route and talk to the gate guard, he said he had a plan for me to sneak out, which just turned out to be the same plan as the noblewoman, but now when I speak to him, I no longer get the option to bribe him.
Is there a lockpick or some armour lying around in town or do I need to load one of my old saves?

There is a trader who has lockpicks.
Whereabouts is he? I have run all over the available town but can’t find one. The people all say that he is by the granary, but I think that is outside where I can currently go.
Ah, don’t worry. I just found him sitting by the main gate. Thanks for your help! 
I’m having the same issue, I checked everything and did everything I can. But the trader only has 10 coin. Thereby, when I sell stuff to get the lockpick, I still don’t have enough, I only have 11.8 coin out of 18.6 I need or whatever. I’m not sure what to do cause I can’t go anywhere else from here.
- you can sell+buy (AKA barter :)) at the same time. You can simply exchange food for the lockpick for example
- you can simply jump from the drawbridge and get out of the castle
a fine example of how the other games trained us with their invisible walls and linearity. who’d expect that to work in any game now, right?

you just need to be aware of the cruel fall damage in the game, not only at the castle… almost killed myself few times on horse wiith a sudden drop. Horses in this game have some firm suspension
It is 2m height at most from the draw bridge. Didn’t even break a sweat I still think it’s better to get the armor, though…
If you can get the money from the noblewoman (Stephanie I think her name was) then you should have enough for maybe 2-3 lockpicks if you can haggle the price down a bit. I would recommend saving before trying to open the chest in the guards quarters as it is very hard to do.
That armour saved me quite a few times in the next part.

there’s free armour inside the big round tower, no need for lockpicks.

Only free things there are two shields two bows and dozens of flight arrows.
Wrong place…
That´s it…

Uhm, I’m stuck in tamriel as I dropped one part of the Armor even before I got the quest. And it seems that all items disappear from the ground … I don’t have the option to bribe the guardsman anymore.
Wrong game! 
This should not be…
Best is to use a save and start the quest again… maybe something is buggy.
I misremembered the towers but I just checked, one round tower is locked and other only have locked chests. I recorded a video from savepoint of morning cutscene. I will link it as soon as it is uploaded on youtube.
Edit: Estimated upload countdown shows more than 2 hours and it is past midnight here. I will upload it tomorrow.

Hi blacksmith, I just checked my favorite spot for free armor, and holy shit, damned devs put heavy lock on that chest! 
So yeah, only obtainable armor is near the armory where free bow is found. Or like me, you can just put arrow through someones eye. hm

Oh lol I meant talmberg of course. And yeah I had to load an old save game and lost about half an hour of playtime. Do items usually stay on the ground? I dropped like 10 items and they all disappeared after some time
Yes, after some time… because of performance they disapear.
Sorry for the late upload.
