Select Your Own Quest

Always wanted to be Greek
Wiping away a tear at the memory of the crippling Yahtzee addiction that marred
your own undergrad initiation process, you happily agree. The house cheers in
triumph, and soon after you’re bundled in black stealth gear and taken
you to the nearby house of the rival Lambda’s, where your initiation mission
is to steal their sacred Golden Paddle.
The house is dark and silent, but you conquer your fears of entry with thoughts of the glory that is sure to be yours if you manage to accomplish your mission. Stealing into the house, you find it empty, and quickly sneak upstairs to where your future brothers have assured you the paddle is hidden. Their directions are correct and you soon have the paddle in hand. However, as you turn to leave, you hear a creak below you, indicating someone may be awake and blocking your planned escape route.
What do you do?
