Walk quickly upstairs

You walk quickly upstairs, but the sound of footsteps echoes from above, trapping you between two groups of cultists. You take a torch, and after a few seconds, you are surrounded, by two cultists chasing you from below, and two more from above.
They order you to surrender and drop the torch.

Full of adrenaline and fear, you have only 2 options:

Fight, but you are outnumbered and you have only a torch as a weapon.
Surrender and trust their mercy.
