There, the two encounter Grecklin who sells the two a garlic crusher instead to which the two demand them the Curse Crusher instead. Thinking buying the Curse Crusher would be at an inexpensive price, Grecklin harshly give the two a very expensive price to which, much to her greed, Corey paralyzes her using her stinger as the two grab the sword paying her some money, much to her protests.
