High. Those odds were high. The butlers had clearly been attacking with intent back there, and if ever there was a next time, he was going to be decidedly less hesitant to use lethal force. He was already kicking himself for it over the weekend's events. They could have all gotten killed.

... They could have mostly gotten killed. Except for him. He would have remained alive and well, to be well aware that he'd gotten everyone killed.
