Darn shiney is cursed treasure - makes everyone who touches it a skeleton.Pirates of the Caribbean anyone? :o
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?

Description
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. That's bad news.

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, Decisions
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...
