We did it!

Gnaws is down, and I have our shiney!

That's good news.

Darn shiney is cursed treasure - makes everyone who touches it a skeleton.

That's bad news.

These cursed pirates say the Gilblin King has the secret to remove the hex.

That's good news.

I can't step foot outside the reef or I'll be cursed forever.

this reminds me of the treehouse of horror exchange between homer and the curio shop owner.

owner: take this object, but beware, it carries a terrible curse.
homer: ooh, that's bad.
owner: but it comes with a free frogurt!
homer: that's good!
owner: the frogurt is also cursed.
homer: that's bad.
owner: but you get your choice of topping!
homer: that's good!
owner: the toppings contain potassium benzoate.
homer: ...
owner: that's bad.
homer: can i go now?

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • DUN-dun-DUN-dun-DUN-dunKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    If ol' Gnaws had heels he'd be on 'em right now. Fortunately for you, I think like a shark. Gnaws is mad as all get out and we're gunna use that to our advantage. Here, I found this chain while out treasure-huntin'. Use it to tie off to that harpoon gun.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Decisions, DecisionsKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    This is no magic solution to my curse! It's just a hammer! I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid. There's NO WAY I'm gunna use this to break my shiney - not after all I've gone through to get it. <Budd pauses in thought for a moment.> But that means I'm stuck down here for eternity...
