The Item

Yes, the secret passage will provide the protection you need to get out of the Lair.

"Come," you say. "We are going this way." Stepping into the dark passage with the girl, the door slams ominously behind you. Looking at the murky tunnel, you see torches on the wall, stickes of heaven that provide the neccessary light to move quickly.

After ten minutes of silent walking you and the girl come across the final part of the passage. All the lights are out, so you proceed with utmost caution.

"Halt!" a voice calls out over the gloom. "We know you are here, intruder. Come with us, or it is time to die. No one infiltrates the Lair." You cannot recognize exactly where the voice originates, but you can fathom that it came from somewhere off to your right.

Based on what you just heard, there is only one man, but perhaps you are incorrect and it is an ambush lying in wait in the dark unknown. You fall back to the passage's wall with the Item. Do you fight or surrender yourself?
