"Woe" if its a straight up bad curse (-4 armor of can't take it off). "Weal and woe" if its a mixed blessing (sword of -2 to hit but teleports to your had at initative roll means you're never unarmed iff you can still manage to use half decent ranged weapons while carrying it). Cryptic otherwise (+5 vorpal sword of cursed beserking = "the lonely undying conqurerer wins all battles on a throne of heads").
Thet dropped a resource and made a roll. They get directly and immedately useful info.
