You see something in the distance during a power outage as you were aimlessly searching for a flashlight. What was it? Should you approach it or not?

Your able to see something again, a faint purple glow from whatever entity is over there.

But it’s too late for you to make a decision, whatever that was out there had approached you and knocked you into the ground, it was hard to see due to the power outage, should you fight back? Or should you reason with the gootraxian, nightcrawler?
