Because you have to steal it from the chest in order to be cursed.

Oh that's a good one. If the coins are dispursed to others, it won't make them zombies - hence, when the pirates were spending their ill begotten treasures - only the pirates were affected. Otherwise, all the vendors and merchants that recieved any gold should have had the curse as well.

Who is to say she didn't? She just hadn't started going bad yet...

I think her close friends and family might have noticed the smell over the intervening ten years or so...

Did you sort out your dilemma, by the way?

Oh yeah, I forgot she had it the whole time - I'm such newbie :)

Not really, I'm being pushed and pulled royally at the moment and I've had enough, so I've decided that no longer shall I try to take everyones feelings into consideration, just Freyas and mine in that order.

Obviously I don't know the details, and it's yuor business if you want to tell me, but I'd been thinking about it, and if it's a case of Freya being taken away somewhere for a year, then it's one year out of a lifetime you'll get to spend together, and in the long run she may resent you more for not letting her go now.

I agree with Cavalorn.

Its what I figured since it was the chest of gold that was cursed. Ok, it was an easy thing to work out, after all they do tell you in the movie (and I quote)

You don't know what this is, do ye?... This is Aztec gold. One of 882 identical pieces they delivered in a stone chest to Cortez himself. Blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon them with his armies. But the greed of Cortez was insatiable. So the heathen gods placed upon the gold a terrible curse. Any mortal that removes but a piece from that stone chest shall be punished for eternity.

So you have to remove the gold from the chest to actually get cursed...

Next Question... :0)
