I left the jail and got my cuffs off at the blacksmith and I'm still stuck in combat

I escaped the innecessary prison of fort merit and got put in combat. Once out of handcuffs I've been waiting 5 minutes for the Ctag to drop but it won't place me out of combat

After escaping being imprisoned from meritt by the central authority guild you are stuck in combat even after getting the handcuffs off by a blacksmith
