You were sorely outnumbered, - as in for outnumbered 100 to 1. Does not matter how many you think you can cut down, you would have been overwhemed and killed, quickly as you were unarmed.
Raubahn won't be needing his 2nd sword anymore. As it so happens, the existence of Nanamo's cutscene in the CUL 50 quest heavily suggests that all class and crafting quests happen before this point in the story, so every Warrior of Light is also proficient with a sword. We weren't *really* unarmed - neither before we allowed ourselves to be taken into custody by Teledji's goons, nor after.
We were just "unarmed" because it was the only way to conveniently sacrifice other characters so we could run away. Take a look at that feasting hall - weapons are perfectly permitted there. And from an old cutscene, you can see that weapons are also permitted in the Sultana's chamber. Not to mention that we, as the Warrior of Light, are more than trusted by the Sultana and were at no point asked to surrender our weapon - because only a fool would go along with that. If the Sultana wants to talk to me, she'll either let me enter her chamber with my weapon, or she'll have to meet me elsewhere, it's that simple.
