I wasn’t born like this! I was cursed! Cursed with small height, flimsy arms, web hands… and feet. I was a tall man once.

If you cannot be persuaded to halt your adventure, I see no other option than to accompany you on this perilous quest. I could not live with myself if anything were to happen to you both and another adventure does sound appealing.

One does not often find themselves cursed. There are usually a series of events or misfortunes that lead to said cursing.
