Kicking the Hornet's Nest

I am writing this in the sparse moments before we are overrun by enemy forces. If I am not heard from again, you must surmise that I did not survive, and these will be my final words.

We approached Castle Naerytar and formulated a rather simple plan - create a distraction outside while we walked straight through the front gates, wearing cultist cloaks.

Everything went very well, if I do say. We greeted the front guards, walked into the main courtyard, found some bullywug barracs (they were disinclined to acquiesce to our request to relocate to the exterior), and some lizardfolk, all who seemed rather harmless. But then we met someone who started asking too many questions, and we eventually agreed to go see their leader, together...

Well, we were joined by a squad of lizardfolk, a squad of bullywugs, two 'corporals', and were led towards their respective 'sergeants'. That's when our squad decided to spring our surprise... when we were surrounded! The fight was fierce, and I and all my companions fought well, defeating many enemies. The fight was nearly finished, but once again I was struck down, and I am told it was a terrible blow. I even started convulsing unexpectedly as my body quickly succumbed to its injuries. But I was magically stabilized by Sir Aberard, and my last remaining Potion of Healing gave me a ounces of strength.

But now that our combat was complete with a couple squads, sergeants, and corporals, it seems that we had kicked a hornet's nest - for outside the door was Rezmir and what appeared to be the remaining forces, ready to storm into the section of the castle we had barricaded ourselves into!

Do we flee, or do we run? I will let you know which we chose, assuming I survive...
