Swamped

You're just about to pull out your slicer in case you need it, but it's gone. Then you hear a loud clash of wood against metal up above.

You can't believe you already threw the damn thing without even noticing. You feel like an idiot - first, for squandering your one weapon, and second, because if it falls down you might alert someone to the fact that you're here.

You have just enough space in your mind between all the worrying and frustration to wonder what kind of metal object could be that high in the sky.

Suddenly, you hear frenzied shouting, and then there's some loud noises.

Finally, there's more shouting, then silence.

Your first thought is that the battle's over - but that shout sounded frustrated. Could it be that one side retreated?

What if... what if one side traveled here in that apparently-metal thing in the sky, whatever it was? And your impulsive throw did enough damage that they had to run off to repair it?

If that's the case, you've taken sides whether you meant to or not. On the other hand, you can't exactly be sure how grateful these people would be for your help even if that's what happened.

Then you hear footsteps. It sounds like they're coming closer.

What should you do?
