Yes, well, if we ever get to the point where people are more worried about our friends' lives than maybe tripping over an invisible tentacle we can try a combat option or two.

There´s no need to still be antagonistic, they are not made out of cardboard nor are they completely helpless.
Assessing the situation first and THEN choosing what to do is not a foolish thing to do
You're right, that was out of line. The problem is that we're not voting to assess the situation; we're voting to run away, and then maybe come back later, when we have what is probably the ideal tool for stealth recon as our primary magical ability, and we're not using it because maybe the enemy has deployed invisible tentacles specifically to counter the ability that nobody knows we have. It boggles the mind.

I expect invisible tentacles not because they're countering the ability no one knows we have, but because it's goddamn lovecraft and that shit's pretty standard for them.
We're at over 800 grief, and 120 sanity. It may actually take literal days before we're not hallucinating Madoka anymore. We've got a potential Lovecraftian horror wandering the apartment. Did we mention 120 sanity? And at least a couple known methods for bypassing our timestop.
Absolutely prefer to try to observe from a distance first. Also, we have telepathy with Kyouko. Once we're clear with Mami, we can let her know, and Kyouko and Nanoha can make their own retreat, since they won't be stuck in a position where they think they're defending a couple of helpless friends.
We don't have to be The Only Hero. Both Kyouko and Sayaka have called us out on that.

Okay. So the biggest concern is obviously that we don't know what we're dealing with. All we know is that it is dangerous and probably Eldritch in nature. Possibly more eldritch than even the most twisted of Witches.
Naturally, going towards such an abomination would be suicide. We're talking entities whose appearances are so horrifying to grasp it drives you mad. In hindsight, while this probably wasn't on Lovecraft's mind, they're probably don't even fit into 3 dimensions. On the highest end of the scale, just witnessing one could be enough to kill you, like the true forms of an ancient God (Zeus, YHWH, etc.)
That said, Sayaka appears to be not-dead, so that's a plus. Now to address the vote.
[X] Time stop
[X] Pull Sayaka into time stop and help her move Mami out of danger.
[X] Flight. Safe-ish distance, observe, figure out what the hell's attacking and why.
-[X] Use a grief seed on the way out.
[X] Once Mami and Sayaka are safe return to investigate the situation in time stop.
-[X] Arm self with machine gun
--[X] Be prepared to fight anything that moves despite time stop.
This seems to cover our bases nicely. It seems that TheEyes is missing a crucial part of the vote, and it's even listed in the shorter bandwagon. "Observe, figure out what the hell's attacking and why." Yes, we're voting to get the hell outta dodge, but we're still saying "Try to see what exactly we're running from."

Okay, I can definitely live with this, except I'd also add that we want to limit our time in TS. Too often I see QMs use open-ended TS to mean that Homura spends whole minutes stopped, when really the above should take like 45-60 seconds max, especially for an experienced user.

I almost feel like I'm stealing credit from TriggerBlaze. I just copied his vote after analyzing the situation.
Though, it's worth checking:
The entity we are currently under attack by will not drive us to insanity, injury, or death via its appearance and/or its proximity to us.

Hmm that IS tricky to answer....
Sk8torchic
The Sorcerer of Humanity.
Well, I mean. I just want to know if just being near it or just looking at it is enough to cause us to suffer. Obviously, getting near it is likely to provoke it which will cause it to attack which in theory CAN inflict pain and/or death, so I tried to disclude that from the Blue.
I recommend not trying to cram all your conditions into a single statement.
Sk8torchic
The Sorcerer of Humanity.
That... actually terrifies me, to be quite honest.
So if I had to make a guess, it has a True Form of the Mortals Cannot Comprehend variety, and one or more forms that we are capable of being near and staring at until we're blue in the face. I want to make a blue to check my theory, but I've proven to be worse than Battler at constructing them.

Oh no, don't get discouraged, just look at how your statements could be turned against you and make addendums.
