Swamped

You need to know more. That said, you should still play it safe, if only by giving yourself time to run. So you carefully move closer to the entrance, then try to follow the footsteps. You might need to stop whoever's here from leaving and warning others.

What you see is a muscular woman towering over someone dressed in armor - but in a way that suggests they don't know much about wearing it properly.

"I already told you, if you don't want to get into trouble, you do what I say," the woman growls. "If you hadn't interfered, we wouldn't be here in the first place. You're lucky I gave you any chance at all."

The armored person doesn't seem to respond at all. They seem very frightened.

"Now let's get you back to work. We don't need anything in here."

You slip back behind the nearest shelf. You don't know what's going on, but they don't seem to have noticed your presence yet.

The woman leaves the room, dragging the other person out with her. Neither of them notices you.

Well. You should be fine at least until somebody notices the crate you arrived in. She said they don't need anything in this room, so it should be safe to hide in for a bit.

Still drafty, though. You could look into that. Or perhaps you could see what's in these boxes. Then again, maybe it's better not to stay here and instead look elsewhere for some clue as to what's going on. Maybe even follow that woman from a safe distance.

What should you do?
