Sucker Punched

I'm an idiot. I have mentioned this several times over several years, but every once in a while I am reminded that I am stupid as stupid can be. Like I had decided to take my haunted picture to the archivist, because he was a ghost and I figured ghosts could at least hang out with each other (or tolerate each other? I dunno I'm not some kind of ghost expert), that and he had sent repeated letters to me to come and see him. Me being stupid I assumed he wanted to discuss all the history I had missed out on and all the wondrous things he could fill me in about. Nope.

Turns out the archivist had made a deal with Morley and shortly after I had arrived at his archive he had me captured by burly jerks. Like I showed up with the painting (after having driven all the way there in a shiny new car I had purchased and now immediately regret buying since I have no idea where it will go now, just like all the horses I've lost over the years, RIP horses) and then I was slugged in the face and shackled. I have to say as far as double crosses at least this one was sudden. I never did learn with the archivist got out of this, I figure some kind of knowledge, but I did know what I got out of it was an immediate hatred of the spectral bastard, and a desire to see him eliminated from this world (what about all the knowledge you ask? Screw it let it burn with him!)

So I was shackled and took down to a ship at the docks to be shipped off to wherever Morley was currently located. I guess I should have been thankful it wasn't a plane, but also unthankful because I got sea sick! Also the ship kind of got attacked by spectral pirates allowing me to escape. Wait wait I'm getting there calm down just wanted to leave you something!
