It's a bit of a long story...
Some of you may recall that I was having a spot of trouble with a witch. The whole being-teleported-without-my-consent thing.
Yes, I realize that was a while ago. Things got a bit... complicated.
I came up with a plan. It was a pretty good plan, as these things go. I am ALL about the planning.
The plan mostly involved my meeting said witch and convincing her to make a deal. It's part of my idiom, after all.
So far so good. Except that then I ran into a little snag. Turns out the witch was anticipating my moves, and she brought back-up.
HE WAS BURLY AND I WASN'T EXPECTING IT, ALL RIGHT?
Anyway, I put up a decent enough fight, I think.

I did plan for such contingencies. I'm not a complete idiot. The problem with contingency plans is that they usually involve other people. Other people who are sometimes slightly overzealous explosives enthusiasts.
So then things went a little south.
So the next thing I know, I'm waking up in a Devil's Trap.
I was really not impressed.
And THEN I'm face to face with my kidnapper. The initial conversation went a little like this:
I'm not sure which of us was angrier:
I'll spare you the details of the rest of our little exchange (it got unpleasant), but let's just say I'm not exactly a pushover, so eventually I managed to slip my bonds and retaliate.
And then... things went even further south, and the next thing I knew:
Let me tell you, it is HARD to fight against a witch when you can't see a bloody thing.
I prevailed, mostly. I mean, the bitch witch is dead. She also conveniently collapsed on top of the Devil's Trap, effectively smudging some of the lines with her blood. So I'm free.
Problem is, I still can't see a bloody thing. As far as I can tell, it isn't permanent, but God only knows how long it's going to last, and I don't fancy stumbling around here in the dark permanently.
Umm...
*clears throat*
Would someone mind please coming to get me? I'd appreciate it.
