Yes, that's my line of thought. With Sense of Duty (Humanity) or Charitable, you can gather aid, scout for weaknesses, set an ambush, or employ any of dozens of tactics to maximize your success at rescuing the captive. With one of those plus a failed Impulsiveness self-control roll, you draw your weapon and charge.
