In one of my screenplays, there is a scene where the main character must obtain an item from a cult leader's library(It's a Sci-Fi/Fantasy type of story...) and he already saved a few of the group members by using magical powers. However, there are a lot of them and they all stand between the hero and the required item. Should my character fight the remaining cult members that attack him(they're zombie-like, brainwashed and just march into battle because the leader ordered them to, but they're still humans!) or should he attempt to save them all? Thank you for taking your time to read this!
