You chose to pick up the sword. It did not harm you so the only possible damage it can cause now is to slow you down.
You continue your journey across the cemetery. The whole time you have the strangest feeling. You feel like you're being watched. So you turn around real quick but nothing is there. So once again you continue you walk across this never ending plane of tombstones. The further you walk the spookyer things seem to get. You start hearing noises, and seeing things watching you from the trees and it really starts to get to you.
All of a sudden graves begin to burst open and huge monsters standing a good twelve feet tall come out of them. Suddenly you are surrounded by these massive creatures. All that you have is your sword.
You can either run for your life or fight and risk your life.
